Vielen Dank für die Recherche und die tiefgreifende Analyse dieses Themas, ich bin beeindruckt! Wenn mich mal wieder jemand fragt, warum ich nicht in der Philharmonie spiele (ich habe „nur“ alte Musik studiert) und warum ich nicht von der Musik leben kann, werde ich ihn auf dieses Video verweisen...
Beautiful presentation. Greetings from Brazil
"I don't play with a shoulder rest or a chin rest" we don't need training wheels
Even the chair squeak at the start was in the right key
Wonderful Penelope, thanks a lot!! 😊

Excellent ! I like the slower tempo much more ! Great job !
Thank you, your clear and deep description with smart ideas is what I was looking for and leads to a more powerful appreciation of your beautiful playing and the depth of the music
Love this! Very detailed and clear explanation, deserves more views
FANTASTIC!!
🙌🙌🙌
I understand that a viola de gamba is not only harder to play but quite a different instrument when compared to the cello (not that I am suggesting the cello is easy). It is great to see these instruments still being played today.
How wonderful is this nearly forgotten music, still so lively, beautiful, joyous. Bravo to the small and lovely ensemble here.
Seeing in your bio that you studied with Sigiswald Kuijken is amazing enough for me to want to see everything that you have on KZread! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put together this wonderful series for all. You will never know how much it means to me! Cheers
How have I not seen your site before now? Thank you for letting me play along with you and learn from an incredible master like Geminiani! Profound. I know what I am going to be doing for all my spare time. cheers
Bravissima, grazie!
It’s almost hilarious how little this piece sounds like Bach
THE BEYOND EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY IS AWESOME, SUCH CLEAR TONES
Exquisite!
Merci c'est fabuleux ça nourrit mon âme❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thankyou Penelope so much. Wonderful. Cant wait to try these out tomorrow!!! 🙏
I absolutely love listening to the chaconne/canario musical form. Just plain fun to hear!
Overwhelmed. Oh, wonderful.
I think I baroque my violin 😅
Beautiful Baroque is immortal ❤
Hello, can you share the file of the transcription for viola of the book? The video is really usefull and I’ve enjoyed it very much, but I can’t find it online and I want to study it more :(
b. 11... etc. - Cool rhythms! 😊
Your playing is a wonderful inspiration to me. Love the background information and illustrations, also. Great energy and flow in the presentation.
Vielen Dank für das Video, sehr interessant und wunderbar interpretiert. 👏
Very lovely. Thank you for posting.
Найс запердолили.Зачёт.
Nice acoustic - where was this recorded?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Que buenooo saludos desde Argentina
Это танец.))) И сыграно прекрасно!)
Божественно! Пасиб )))
Thanks
I agree there´s something wrong with the acoustics. But I was not aware of this composition.
Thank you all for keeping this music alive!
¡Excelente interpretación, atrapa los sentidos, felicidades a los músicos, grandes son! 👏👏👏👏🌹
This music and the performance are both exalting. So evocative; so affirmative; so branching; so grounded! thank you for all your years of study to bring this delight to others, to encourage the ongoing quest… Greetings from Philadelphia!
The balance seems off; 3 continuo seems overdone given this acoustic. In situ the balance may have been better; sensitive and engaged playing from all.
It is no studio recording, look how the Mikes are placed... 😮, sure a more absorbing medium would have been optimal, less reverb, more space between instruments, an overhead x pair, and a pair for each instruments that would have been the optimal take on a 8 independent track recorder. Overall, I like Rien's style and I like this video for it is vivid and spontaneous.
Une telle musique devrait être obligatoire dans toutes les écoles. Quel bonheur. Un grand merci aux musiciens. Ils sont merveilleux.
Bravo!
Thank you. Very airy feeling. Well done.
La musica antica è spesso poco conosciuta, purtroppo...
What is this bass progression called? I've heard it in multiple compositions.
What a delight! Magnificent!
