@@simonvanthoff nah sir, not really, don't humble urself, its a very well played piece with Ur great touch, i love it , and listened to it many times , especially on that part that i really like. Great job, i Will check Ur other videos if you have, wonder what more songs do u have 🙂 thank u for playing só well such a wonderful piece! (I didn't check, i Will these Next few days) But if u don't have , are u thinking of playing air on g string soon? I love the harpsichord version of it, anywyay, best regards 🙂
@@CoxYThingZ I have >350 uploads here ☺️ so much still to see and hear ! 😅 but, only a handful are done on my small harpsichord, because as you can see I'm a pianist mainly, and not a harpsichord player. All kind of genres I play as a pianist: pop, jazzy, classical, romantic, bluesy, swing. The air you mention I do know, of course, and tried that one on a piano, so: in a piano solo version, but I was not satisfied yet. So that one I don't have yet recorded on RUclips, but it's such a well known piece, that you can find it countless other times with other players. I play it by the way with my flute player, but we didn't make an upload of it yet. Thanks again for your kind words, Simon 👍🏻🎹
Love this! Your Wittmayer sounds good! Do you have leather plectra or have you requilled it? (I have a Wittmayer like this that I requilled with Delrin.)
@@TinyUrlTucker Thank you! Well, to be honest, already for many many years I almost do nothing special about it 🫣, or about it's maintainance, because I rarely use my harpsichord; it's standing here in my living room way more as a kind of decoration piece than as a much-used-instrument. My pianos I use way, way Way more often. So, as a result: I do also almost never tune it 🙈. But, the rare time that I do tune it, I do it very quickly, and while doing that I also check (more or less) the evenness of touch again, and as much as it is in my capability to do so, adjust it where possible. The material I use is indeed Delrin: also that I do in a very amateuristic way (that is: I never learned how to réally do it, in a good and professional way). Seeing just how many RUclips-tutorials there are nowadays about regulating your harpsichord yourself, I know I can do that part of the maintainance way WAY more precisely now than I did in the past, but i still just not did really took the time for it to do so... So, a long answer short: it's all more or less a "lucky strike" so to speak 🫣. This simple instrument I could get a hold on, many years ago, when it was doing totally nothing in an old music school in my area around here, so since then it's now in my possession. It was, back then, already playing and functioning rather good and regularly, so I only had to replace a few of the plectra: a teacher of my conservatory was so kind to learn me how to do that quickly, many years ago. Well...and that was it, basically :-) Although, I must say this Wittmayer has indeed a rather kind of "singing tone", especially in the most upper register. By the way:the double register handle (when it's also playing the notes one octave higher) I never do use, because in that register too many plectra are broken. So, as a result, all my (easy!) harpsichord pieces here on RUclips I play on this main-register that you can hear on this Bach-recording. I hope this more or less gives the answer to your question. Thanks again for your kind response! 👍🏻 Greetings from the Netherlands, Simon 🎹
Damn man, so so good, thank you so much for posting this, i loved it, so articulate, so magical , especially from 0:23 to 0:33 :) thank you!
Thank you! It's just my very modest interpretation, on a very modest harpsichord
Kind regards, greetings from The Netherlands. Simon 🎹
