If a modern orchestra was preforming this w/ a Flautist (or a Violinist cause B Minor is a good Sharp key for them, Cellists can play them down an Octave on a 5 String Cello, and Bassists can play them down 2 Octaves on a 5 String Bass tuned in Fifths) they'd have to play the Harpsichord part on Piano.

I can see why someone would, but it says a lot about them. If you're the type to get out of bed and finish your son's piece on the piano because he stopped before the final chord, then the way the grace notes in the Polonaise are played will leave you smashing your (computer) keyboard. For me, as a helper in someone's learning of the piece, it's invaluable. Will be donating at the site mentioned at the end.

@@sviatoslavblahovista4858 Those grace notes in Polonaise are actually appoggiaturi, which is playing a non-chord tone on the down beat and then resolving to the nearest chord tone by "sliding" (not necessarily glissed though), so I find the long grace notes pretty appropriate. Of course, maybe those who pressed dislike didn't know or didn't agree with this conception. In that case, they will probably click dislike on every single Mozart Turkish March video they watch, especially the ones with score on screen. Because while Mozart wrote as the first four notes (and in every similar subsequent occurrence of the figure) an eighth notes with a grace note, followed by two sixteenths, pretty much everyone played that as four sixteenth notes, save for Will from AuthenticSounds. And if they actually didn't, then I suppose they are either pretentious or plain stupid. Either way, they're being haters.

The four orchestral suites, are, in my opinion, the greatest of Bach's purely instrumental compositions and also among the finest works of the entire Baroque period. A world of sophisticated order and exquisite beauty exists here that has never been matched before or since by any composer or time period.

Why do non of the orchestral suites have an Allemande?

@baroque4days

4 жыл бұрын

Because they're not just Suites, they're Ouvertures or French Overtures meaning they include French dances or French interpretations of other culture's dances. So like, the Polonaise is of French origin inspired by a few Polish folk dances. The Courante is based on the Italian Corrente, Canaries of either the Carany Islands or somewhere else, Sarabande of Spain etc... The point being that Allemande is a German dance at nature however was later accepted as part of the standard format for suites. Allemande, Courante, Sarabande and Gigue with the optional Prelude. Ouvertures are something Lully really began and thus he seemed to standardise them with the French Operatic Opening paired with a Fugue, then typically Courante, Sarabande, Intermezzo and Gigue however he'd never stick to this format. The point is though, they were created in France in the court of Louis XIV and thus foreign input was likely unwanted. It just seems that most dances of other nations were altered by the French and I guess they didn't see a point in dancing the Allemande.

@caterscarrots3407

3 жыл бұрын

Baroque4Days Uh, I’ve heard plenty of French Allemandes. In fact, the word Allemande is itself French for German. I do however hear a distinct difference between 3 different styles of Allemande. This distinction is mainly via tempo, but other factors play as well. French Allemande -> Slow and more majestic, but still livelier than the Sarabande ex. All of Bach’s French Suites German Allemande -> Faster side, closer to the speed of a Courante ex. Partita for Solo Flute in A Minor English Allemande -> Moderate Minuet-like Tempo ex. English Suite no. 1 in A Major

I'd love to have the soloist also credited on the disc, but it'll be in the booklet if I look for it

@janetcbass

It means that it moves by the half note- in other words the important beats are a big one-two, not 1-2-3-4 by quarters. In later music it's called cut time, and generally goes faster. But in early music it can be fairly slow or moderate. The feeling is that the faster moving notes progress from half note to half note, the quarters on 3 and 4 don't get any stress.

janetcbass I have virtually always heard 2/2 as fast, often close to or at Presto, even in the Baroque, with only a few exceptions. And yet, another half note time signature, 3/2 is used for the opposite extreme, the very slow and is never fast(Egmont Overture for example starts very slow in 3/2). Why would 1 half note make all the difference in whether it’s fast or slow?

Could you please explain. This bottom staff. There are a lot of digits below it. Does it mean someone (clavichord?) is constantly playing additional notes, not shown explicitly on the staff?

It's the old version of what became our chord notation you see for guitarists to follow vocal lines, so they can play chords to the melody. The different patterns of numbers in the case correspond to different chords in different inversions. What they wrote as "6/3 over C#" became our "F#7/C#" (I hope I converted that right).

@PaulVinonaama

7 жыл бұрын

6/3 over C# consists of C#, E and A or A#, if the sixth is raised (usually shown by a little line crossing 6). So this chord does not actually contain F#. If you add F#, you get 6#/4/3 (often abbreviated just 4/3). To be sure, these chords (6#/3 and 4/3) sound rather similar, but the former is lighter. To Peter: the instrument playing the figured-bass accompaniment is typically the harpsichord. Clavichord's sound is too soft for this purpose.

Interesting that the overture is more quick and badinerie is slow. usually it's the other way around

DOING IT SIDEWAYS

You can see in the Overture score why Bach is so great. The incredible detail of every voice, even the bass line. As opposed to the simplistic cut and paste type harmonies of most other contemporary composers.

Minuet at 17:00

I think the realized continuo part would look interesting cause the advantages are that you can facilitate good technique. The Continuo part would sound interesting if we played the realized harpsichord part on Piano.

@Timrath

6 жыл бұрын

What? Who told you that? Those "grace notes" are called "appoggiaturas". In Bach's time they were explicitly meant to be long. An appoggiatura takes exactly half the value of the following note, or 2/3 of the following note if it is dotted. All 18th century sources agree on that. Even Bach's own son says so in his book "Über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen". Hell, there's even a cheat sheet that J.S. Bach himself made for one of his pupils, where you can see that an appoggiatura is always long and never short. Short grace notes do also exist, but they look different: They are called "accaciaturas", and - unlike appoggiaturas - have a diagonal line through them, as if striked out. Those were very rare in Bach's time. In fact, I have never seen one in Bach's own music, and I have played more than one hundred of his pieces. "Short grace notes" are much more common in romantic music. They begin to emerge during the classical period. You see them frequently in Haydn's music; less frequently in Mozart's. You should ask your teacher about the topic. (Reason for edit: atrocious grammar)

- [ ] Although in general I have to agree with timrath I do believe he is being a little dogmatic about his own interpretation of the available data. Having read Dolmetsch’s comprehensive argument for this position (Interpretation of Music in the 17th and 18th centuries) I was firmly convinced of it myself until I discovered a little book by Walter Emery titled Bach’s Ornaments. He takes a more cautious approach to solving the problem and I have to admit being inclined to his arguments in general, though in relation to this piece in particular (where he says the appoggiature should all be quavers) I have a problem with some things he presupposes as ‘obvious’. He is well worth consulting before forming an opinion on the subject. As regards the so-called ‘cheat sheet’ I presume Timrath is referring to the Explication as published in the Clavierbuchlein vor Wilhelm Friedmann Bach. If so, Emery’s comment is worth considering, viz, that this was "nothing more than a rough guide, made for a boy of ten who did not need anything better, because he was being taught by his father" (p.14).
