    I had the harpsichord decorated not by the maker, but by a woman in Germany. The wonderful stand was made also in Germany by a great carpenter.

    That Harpsichord is the equivalent analogue to a high quality modern concert grand.
    Those notes ring so clear.

    • @Ekvitarius
      @Ekvitarius 6 лет назад +4

      That’s because the strings are parallel to the grain of the wood in the soundboard which makes the sound very clear and direct. 18th century pianos were built the same way. Modern pianos have crossed strings with perpendicular soundboards in order to make all of the notes resonate richly in the middle of the instrument. Musical values, aesthetics and design philosophy in the past were quite different from our modern romanticism-informed attitude towards art in general.

  • @uncitoyenresponsable9692
    @uncitoyenresponsable9692 8 лет назад +15

    I feel like you are the only interpret I've heard who both understood the intention of the composer and the mood of the piece. I don't know much about music, but somehow this feels like Royer wanted it to be played this way. There is a mix of mechanical elegance and suppleness that seems to suit the fashion of that time. A very clear instrument, excellent sound capture, and a cameraman who knows what to film. Perfect.

  • @statingthe_obvious6309
    @statingthe_obvious6309 9 лет назад +8

    can't reply directly to Ian Brockman's comment regarding the spectacle adjustment at 3:09 . There is a false arm connected by levers to a foot operated pedal for the sole purpose of spectacle pushing. There is another pedal which operates the false arm to turn music sheets if you're using those, but here he's not using sheets, just spectacles.

    • @Renshen1957
      @Renshen1957 8 лет назад +1

      +AdvocateVaping QuashMonopolisingRegulation I think you may need glasses, there are no foot pedals. Very late 18th century harpsichords had knee levels, but this instrument does not have them. And in 47 years of playing keyboard (Piano, Harpsichord, Organ), I have never come across a pedal to turn pages. Are you Vaping "Whacky Tobaccy?

    • @statingthe_obvious6309
      @statingthe_obvious6309 8 лет назад +5

      Renshen1957 yes I do need glasses now after testing my spectacle pushing pedal which I've never needed before due to having perfect vision... damned thing poked me in the eye due to my lack of bespectaclment. now the pusher is stuck on enabled and tends to spectacle push of its own accord... nothing else for it, I'll have to wear spectacles solely for the purposes of not getting poked in the eye again by the pedal operated spectacle pushing mechanism on my 18th century keyboard (harpsichord not piano, synth, organ, accordion or harmonium).

    Most musicians make it sound like a cloud of notes by playing too rushed, making individual notes much less distinguishable.
