You. ARE. AWESOME! I love Baroque music, and I incorporate the style HEAVILY for my extreme metal solo-work. It is my passion, and I have found this to be very helpful for some musical ideas. Cheers!

I'm very glad that I found your video. It is perfectly in line with what I already know and allows me to enlarge my knowledge. Your opinion that jazz and baroque have many things in common is something that I also discovered and with which I completely agree. That's why I like to play both styles.

Wonderful! Would you do a video about vibrato and upper positions? So often we hear that these were no used in Baroque period, but certainly they’re used in performance today. I’d love to hear your detailed thoughts about this.

thanks Emily!!..It all came back to me when i started listening to this, that i had watched it all the way through before, and it was well worth the time to watch it again. Baroque, out of all the periods in classical music, is my first love, so it's great to listen to people who have dedicated time to studying that particular period. Till next time!!

Super helpful! I don't play a instrument that regularly plays baroque music. I learned about the differences between Italian and French ornamentation in music history but never really used it on my instrument. Thanks Emily!

This video is really awesome!! Thank you very much, you help my homework! Specially with those readings, my teacher gonna be so proud :D

I'm a baroque cellist and your videos are the most amazing things! You've helped me grow as a musician and I'm really grateful. Keep doing what you're doing

So glad to hear it!! We need more baroque musicians :D

Thank you, that was very helpful!

I always struggle with ornamentations in all Bach cello suites. Every cellist/violist plays them in a different way. Another piece that has a lot of ornamentation is schubert arpeggione. Those trills are tricky haha

Thank so much!

great video - have you seen Rogeri edition of the Corelli sonatas? It's really cool because he has the original melody on 1 line, and then on the line above he writes out an ornamented version.

Keep up the good work 👏

Very well done. thank you for your input. i emailed you once on tips for starting a Patreon but since then I have done a complete 180 in music. I have been a classical guitar major for over 3 years now but after watching many videos by you and other early music sources and listening to the endless rep I have changed my major. I'm a few weeks i audition for Indiana University 's early music program to specialize in early music plucked instruments under Nigel North. so thank you for your information and inspiration.

Amazing amazing amazing Thanks

You connection to the beginning peolple is awesome, it's great to see you. I wanna ask you for sometihng. How I find something of ornamentation? Titles of books or material. Thank you so much!

That's really good ... interesting ..I do all that on guitar and violin ..nice to hear on the cello ...:)

very cool

bravo

The REAL best baroque cellist in the world

What sort of guidelines would you give regarding vibrato in Baroque string music? I know it's used less than it is today, but not totally absent. I notice you play it on some notes and not others; is it just a case of emphasizing particular notes?

good information

Hello, where did you find the informations about the French ornamentation ?

Very nice! Just a tip: the stressed syllable of "Folia" is "li". ;)

👏

Do you have any good treatises from the day that discussed these things further?

Hey, Emily, do you play cello?

Ornaments? I don't see tinsel? Trees... menorah.... hmmmm... oh different kind of ornaments. I guess I have much to learn. Lol. How about cats? Jk, thanks for the tips Emily! Keep up the fantastic work!

why is it that baroque music is pitched down a step when it's performed? is it the instruments? you say E minor in the beginning but it sounds like Eb minor.

Standard baroque tuning is A=415, which is a half step lower than A=440.

Pitch standards varied widely over time and from place to place throughout the baroque period and earlier. In some places, the "standard" pitch was higher than the modern orchestral standard of A440, and in other times and places it was considerably lower. For wind instruments, it was often higher, and for strings it was usually lower, due to the lower limits on tension for gut strings. Usually the local standard (if any) was set by the large church organ, and everything else had to be specially built or adapted to that! The modern "Early Music" revival acknowledges this, but for reasons of practicality has adopted a small set of standard pitches that are one or two (equal-temperament) semitones higher or lower than the orchestral standard of A440. Thus, some of the pitch standards used by instrument builders today are A392, A415, and A466, with A=415 Hz (one semitone below A440) as being one of pitches most commonly encountered in baroque music. By building instruments in this way, it is possible to adapt chromatic instruments from one pitch standard to another through transposition, if necessary. For an excellent discussion of the subject I highly recommend this video by EarlyMusicSources.com: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZ1qs7CPnpeWd7A.html

At the Congress of Vienna in 1815 - 1816, the Rothschild banking family made many suggestions to "prevent future wars" and such. One of the propositions they made then was A=440, a little higher than the natural standard of Middle C = 432, a frequency derived from nature, and resonant with the Human body and voice. Singing at A=440 strains the voice to naturally use the different voice registers which composers and voice teachers had been using not only for the musical effects available in each register but using the easiest and most natural vocal technique without straining and early ruination of the voice.

finally someone not just looking at the dots on the page but playing it

beautiful you are

What did he mean by this

This is sooo strange. If I would compose any music, I'd never want anyone to change it... I'd like to transfer exact feelings and thought through my art, just like no one is supposed to change any part of a painting just because someone likes it better a bit differently. This doesn't mean I don't like you :) I already subbed! :P

Baroque music is more like jazz, allowing for a certain level of improvisation and decision-making for the performer and not just the composer :) Just a different approach!

@@Ekvitarius Correction: the whole "shut up and play what I wrote" movement started no earlier than Beethoven. Manuscript of Mozart's Piano Sonata in C minor comes with a sheet of paper attached to it where Mozart himself gives examples of ornamentation in the repeats to his pupil Barbara Ployer. The sonata was written in 1784. There are written out ornamentation sketches for Mozart's works dating as late as 1801 by different composers (e.g. Abbe Stadler). Music of the proper Classical era (i.e. before Beethoven) was also meant to be ornamented.

But you played EM, not Em, remember the g is not sharp

Yes, I was very unclear about this! We are in the key of E minor, but the lead-in that I play before the 1st note is in the dominant... which I think would have a G#?... I need a harpsichord player's help here!

@Superbad9494

7 жыл бұрын

Oh! I see, in that case if I don't misunderstand, the dominant would be B, but in that case I think you have to add also the A# in the ascending scale(BMajor begining in E-note), because is the "sensitive" note of that chord. But if you check the score, this beautiful and cool sonata! jaja is one of my favorite.. You will notice the cello starts just alone and the Cembalo starts playing later at end of second time of the first measure so, you can see that E note before the first measure like a simple E minor scale(the tonic instead of see it like a dominant) until the E(8va) or whatever sounds more musically logical for you with the accompaniment, we most try the 2 ways, with Bmajor & with Eminor because your outlook is valid too! you play alone in that part after all! You don't need a harpsichord player's help, just a little instruction of harmony. That's what I think :D BTW I think is great that you take seriously the barroque music and the barroc cello, it's another whole world, and it's wonderful, and also great that you make videos teaching all you know about it, it's not easy to play this music with all the style and the ornaments, specially when not a lot of teachers are willing to teach this things which is so important for a musician who wants to play this type of music. I'm a Venezuelan Cellist, Check out my channel if u want, I have record myself playing some things you may like... or not! jaja Would be great to meet you sometime :D Hugs from Venezuela!
