This passage of Pachelbel makes my hand feel like a crab. 🦀 #baroque #earlymusic #harpsichord #clavichord
Qwyrdo and βFound this delightful rendition of Uccelli's aria sopra la bergamesca by the above-named consort. Soprano recorder, violin, and archlute.
La bergamesca was a popular tune for "dividing," making intricate virtuosic passages out of. This piece by Uccelli is usually performed on two violins, but the use of recorder here (playing an octave higher than written) works well, not breaking any of the voice leading. Wonderful.
Have you seen the right hand fingers numbered 6 to 10 in keyboard music? I kind of like it. Right now I use two different colored pens in forScore when writing fingerings, but if I could relearn my right hand as 6 to 10 that would be more efficient. #earlymusic #baroque #harpsichord #clavichord #organ #piano

Saintecolombe🎻✨ Stepping back in time in Paris… 🎶 Discovering the album Sainte‑Colombe le fils by Jonathan Dunford (2021) on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/fr/album/sainte-colombe-le-fils/1546267661
Imagine… old vials of sound echoing through candlelit rooms in Paris, among aged wood and timeless elegance. A journey into the past, wrapped in nostalgia and baroque beauty.

Equally tempered major thirds sound so bad to me right now. I've been tuning only in quarter comma meantone the past few weeks. I heard a digital piano and thought at first it was set to the "honky tonk" sample—the major thirds sounded that out of whack to me. #tuning #temperaments #earlymusic
Per EjeklintNext mad project: fixing a #renaissance #lute that I got for free. The stable has come loose but except from that it’s in good condition. Looking forward to add #lutenist to my CV. 😅 #earlymusic #renaissancemusic
New project: bringing life to these darlings. Crumhorns, if you wonder. #earlymusic #crumhorn #renaissancemusic
Here's a rough recording of the first couple of pages of a ciacona by Pachelbel that I just started learning on my clavichord.
Sound is a little distorted because the phone's mic was too close to the strings. I need to pull out my tripod next time for better sound.
