Baroque pieces are actually the easiest to memorize because they are so formulaic. Bach was genius but stayed well within the limitations of respective keys. You’re not going to hit a wrong note or chord if you know your theory.

Hopefully now Brett knows what lute is 😃

Very beautiful and skilled interpretation of very demanding music and instrument ! Let me answer to some posts and give a little knowledge about Lute : Most people heredown wonder why guitar replaced lute: that's not the case, they co-existed and were often played together. The baroque guitar was small instrument, very nicely ornamented, with 5 to 6 double cords; the lute comes from the arabic "oud", had 7 double strings at end of middle-age, then 8 to 10 at renaissance, then up to 15 strings (archilute, theorbo) in late 17th cent. with a very long (up to 2 meters) neck for bass strings. She plays on a "baroque lute" double strings, with a small neck for bass, and a specific tuning. Bach and Weiss wrote for baroque lute. Basically you play with left hand only the upper 6 strings, like a guitar (although it's not the same tuning), and you play the open bass strings with your right hand thumb. Before electronic devices it was, indeed, a nightmare to tune, not only due to number of strings, but due to "temperament issue" (another long and complex story) ; people used to joke against us saying that "lutenist spend half of the evening tuning their instrument, and the other half playing false !" Regarding the cost, it seems that Evangelina plays with gut strings, and that's very expensive and very fragile... but SOOOO beautiful. Most players use nylon strings and a complete set is less than 150 € and lasts for several years. Lute disappeared because orchestra grown more and more bigger and "noisy" 🙉... and lute could not follow. Hope it helps.

This might be a mistranslation since I assume English isn't your native language, but we usually call them "strings" not chords. Chords are usually what we call triads in music.

There is also some social and economic history at play here. In the early baroque period, most 'serious' music would have been played in an aristocratic salon - a relatively intimate setting. As the middle classes became more economically prominent, and more desirous of having access to 'high culture', public concerts became more common, with larger concert halls. Orchestras grew in size and composers began to offer more dramatic work. With the increased sound levels, soft-voiced instruments like the lute just couldn't keep up! Thanks however to the magic of recorded music, we can enjoy this wonderfully intimate music "in the comfort of our living room". Artist like Ms. Mascardi can reach large audiences and don't have to rely on the (fickle) patronage of a prince or count!

Bach, despite being "well known" was not as famous at his time, his complex counterpoint stuff was over most people's heads, and only fully appreciated centuries later This song is what I'd call medium complexity, since its mostly a bass and melody, more digestable than a lot of his more complex stuff Of course Air in G is less complex, still unique distinct and amazing but easier to digest and understand.......

I agree completely about being able to just close your eyes and enjoy beautiful music regardless of the genre. Music theory/timing isn’t hard to understand at all some people just like to be snobs about it. Basically there is a divide between musicians about how to perform baroque music. Some people are total sticklers for playing the precise way the sheet music was written.. hence the “music box” reference. There are other people who believe the sheet music was more or less a guideline and free to interpretation. We can only really guess at the composers intentions from earlier music as they are dead and there are no recordings of their music. It’s only my opinion but I feel a lot of the baroque recordings are boring and lacking emotion, as technically skilled as the player might be. Listen to the way Glenn Gould performs The art of the fugue (Bwv 1080) or the two different ways he plays the Goldberg variations if you want to get a better sense of what I was trying to say

A heavenly instrument! What a gift she has. God bless her!

Вечность, порхающая бабочкой над столетиями... Какое счастье попасть во времена, когда звучит такая Музыка! Низкий поклон Баху и Евангелине!

This is one of my favorite pieces of music and this performance (on a baroque lute and not guitar!) was draw-drop astonishing to me.

Recently learned the sarabande portion on classical guitar, so this is how it sounds on lute, beautiful.

I've learned the prelude to this on guitar, but it sounds so much better played by a professional on the original instrument. I was completely floored listening to this

Впервые слушал Баха на щипковом сложном инструменте-это фантастика. Получил большое наслаждение и много положительных, приятных эмоций. Браво исполнительнице шедевра!!!

I played this in my late teens and early twenties. I heard many of the masters of the day play it. I don't listen to European music much now, late in life, but KZread offered, and I clicked. I am amazed at how wooden my picture of this music was until today. No words can describe how captivating this was for me just now. The articulation of every line at every moment was as clear as if I were a child listening to a bedtime story, or watching a movie with a plot laid out naturally and sensibly, but not predictably. This has made my day, if not week and month. Thank you, KZread, for bringing this to my attention. And thank YOU, Ms Mascard,i for bringing to life some music that I have come to think of as a bit musty and dusty. It was as engaging and accessible to me as Fred Astaire singing Irving Berlin.

Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent [turn away from your sins and don’t practice them] trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you

Here it is, a time machine that takes us 250 years ago. We listen to the same sounds that people did at the time. Music is the universal language of generations.

Well, I'm awe-struck. My goodness!!! I have heard this music on guitar, and even struggled through some of it myself, but I never heard it sound like this -- expressing the full grandeur of Bach on this quiet instrument. We can only humbly thank such a dedicated player.

I can remember a concerto's worth of notes (treble clef cuz I play mandolin so I use violin music), but I don't think I could remember a suite (I rely on sheet music too much), and I certainly can't play anything like as beautifully as she does. Lordy! Lute is so soft and calming. I wish i could afford one. If you've studied and played music for many years as she undoubtedly has, you'd have a brain trained to memorize thousands of notes. I played piano and memorized all my music because my music reading skill was so shitty that I had to learn it like a measure at a time and memorize it. I never had formal lessons. Learning a piece was grueling, but I love playing so I kept at it. On that note .... uh .... My ADHD is very active tonight. Rambling a lot. Sorry, but I feel this is important so I'm going to go on rambling. My reading improved when I started playing in a mandolin orchestra (lots of music!), but the biggest improvement came when I started using software to input music notation for piano and for baroque concerti just to hear certain parts plainly. I don't know why it helped so much, but it provided me with about a 1000% reading improvement such that I read and play without looking at my fretboard. For anyone having trouble learning to read music or wanting to improve, you can or could download and install Musescore®. It was free. Windows and Linux. Probably for Apple, too. There are other notation software packs out there. Musescore is great and it's public license and FREE! Or was. If not, get some staff paper or make it with word processing software and copy your favorite composer's music. Doing so forces you to concentrate on each note. Good thing about software is that you can play it back to make sure you entered it properly. It sucks to get 50 or 60 measures entered and realize that, awww crap, you lost your place at measure 23, duplicated 2 or 3 measures (cut/copy & paste) in the treble with the correct bass (or screwed 'em both up - ahhhh!) and spend a hour figuring it out where you went wrong and have to go back and repair it especially if you're copying a full score with multiple instruments. Waaaa!! Misery! MISERY!!! Ok. If you're reading this blurb, you've read the whole thing so bless you! Thanks for reading my nonsense. I'll leave now. Hopefully someone will get some benefit out of this! Cheers everyone! Stay safe and stay healthy! Get your vaccine!
