  One question, why are you tuning the harpsichord in 372 hz instead of 392, 400, 404, or 415?

  I am always seeking new understanding of music. I heard much about basso continuo but never understood it. Your explanation was interesting, yet I am still confused. I would have been better to provide musical examples as you described the different iterations of the original basso continuo. I was much aware Opera began during the early part of the 17C, but I am still confused as to how to determine what each musical changes affected the music. For example - you stated the organist guessed the upper registers. An example would have clarified your explanation. Some people, such as myself have to listen and hear the changes to understand the progressions.

  Very nicely done, thanks. I tend to think of temperaments as being more thirdy or more fifthy, and don't try to distribute the comma evenly. But then again, I mostly do diatonic stuff, where you can get more pure intervals. Grüße aus windigem Wien, Scott

  Hi, thank you for explaining this concept 😊. I know that learning other languages is not easy; the correct pronunciation is not continu-o. The "uo" must be in a single continuous flow (ahah get it?). Un saluto dall'Italia

  Very interesting and impressing -- although I understand only little. I do not play harpsichord but I am fond of these wonderful instruments. And I have never seen a harpsichord-player tuning his instrument. I am going to learn hammered dulcimer which will also mean having to tune a great deal of strings regularly. The system of tuning is of course different there.

  Wonderful video! I'm going to share it with one of my university classes. An alternative method for folks to consider when tuning meantone: Once you have tuned four fifths between a perfectly in-tune third, you can also set quarter-comma meantone by tuning nothing but thirds. In this excellent video, the tuner uses F-A as a starting reference, then does D-A, G-D, and C-G, checking F-C. Once that's done, one could simply tune pure D-F#, Bb-D, A-C#, C-E, G-B, and Eb-G. I prefer this method, because it removes guess work from the fifths. Of course, one must be able to hear pure thirds, which is sometimes hard for people used to equal temperament.

  Your presentation is truly wonderful and highly comprehensible. Lately, I've been delving into the History of Music during the shift from vocal polyphony in the Renaissance to the Baroque period. My thoughts were somewhat scattered, but your explanation has brilliantly illuminated the progression of these concepts, making it all much simpler to grasp. Warm regards to you from Brazil!

  Is it true that basso continuo came from a shift from polyphony to homophony as the 'default' texture or do you think it more contributed to the shift?

• 
  @contrapunctusmammalia39932 жыл бұрын

  Really like how your explanation shows how figures are supposed to be supplementary and the majority of the work is about predicting the notes in the right hand from what you know could go there. I am totally an amateur at continuo playing but i have found sometimes that a part with really detailed figures is a bit much - you have a lot of information to interpret all at once.

• 
  @david.fasold2 жыл бұрын

  Exactly, that is definitely true for the Italian style, where most bass lines are only sparsely figured. This gives you some freedom and could make your life easier if you are already a skilled musician. But just as you said: Other countries and composers would go to extreme lengths to give very detailed figures, even for complicated polyphonic pieces (e.g. J.S. Bach)

  I have seen some fringes of Historically Informed Performers start meddling in the ranges of standard classical musicians. By that I mean period instruments and practice applied to Mozart symphonies etc and with the practice of arranging Beethoven or Brahms symphonies or piano works onto essentially wind bands which was a thing that definitely happened back then. I find this quite exciting because it shows an admitting that the modern classical tradition doesn't have a lot to with showing or presenting it's own repertoire closer to a way that it might have been done in the past, it is instead a tradition of the last 150 years or so. Or whenever the point in the 19th century that concert halls played more old music then newly composed things (which of course varies by place). It's also interesting to consider the point at which repertoire becomes part of Early Music. Modern violinists often will play Vivaldi, Handel and Bach and maybe Corelli - but Biber maybe not. Piano repertoire definitely includes Handel, Bach and Scarlatti. But Alessandro Scarlatti and d'Anglebert is firmly considered harpsichord repertoire i suppose.

  I was definitely raised in a "classical music" environment. What I call the "Beethoven-Brahms continuum" So I experienced many concerts at the local town hall The most classic being: A Haydn symphony, a Mozart concerto and a Beethoven symphony. Certainly the programming wasn't that rigid but the "concerto sandwich" was a dominant model. I am of the punk rock generation and the LP generation so my discoveries of music beyond the concert hall were through LPs and late night programmes on the "classical radio channel" where new music and experimental music was played. I weirdly got into Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Schoenberg and Ives as well as punk rock and some experimental jazz too. People used to say I had broad tastes in music I disagree I have several disparate interests but they are not grouped around a type. I still go to classical concerts and enjoy them but I also like to explore new sound worlds too.

  True, at this time we had efforts to "simplify" the listening experience of music in order to better understand the text. The music was still polyphonic (several independent voices singing togehter), but composed in a way you could follow the text.

  Interesting, but I would just use the Korg and be done with it. I don't know of any professional tuners who tune by ear at concert venues. Time is money. I can tune the 8' on my Flemish single in 12 minutes or less, and another 8 minutes for the 4'.

•

  You are right, using a tuning aid is faster in most cases and can be very useful, especially in concert situations. Tuning by ear on the other hand gives you the freedom to have a temperament that fits perfectly the pieces you are going to play, this is why I prefer it at home.

  David, really appreciate your vids! I’ve known a few conductors, men and women, and only one of them was not a narcissistic egomaniac. Since this is early in your career, please preserve your spirit from this stinking tendency, in terms to convey a vibe and music which is greater than the “me”, it somehow affects the world one way or the other. If you wish to take my advise all you have to do is be alert internally towards the egoic self - its posturing starts in small increments: subtle selfimportant inflections of the voice, lifting the chin up, googling the eyes, condescending tone, etc… being alert is all it takes not to start to spiral into this vomit vibe. Beware, people are programmed to see your occupation as a “high social status” (complete bull crap) and such snobs may validate such posturing… Music (or any art…) free from the “me” becomes extremely moving and potent! Cheers!

  @david.fasold2 жыл бұрын

  Rosin, thank you very much for taking the time to elaborate on this important point! I agree that status and power can be a driving force behind someone's motiviation to become a conductor (and to be totally honest, I am not 100% free of that myself) and that sometimes the dynamics of the job tend to amplify the traits you described. You have to be wary. But then the musicians I admire the most take their charisma and their message from rich life experiences and high levels of competence - this is what I'm trying to strive for. We are all humans in the end.
