For the first time I play a piece with a (virtual) harpsichord on my channel! Which is, even with this accessible piece, way more difficult than I thought. It’s an instrument without any forgiveness. Each flaw in playing, a slip from a key is a desaster. But that is also the challenge and the fun! Do you like this one? Let me know!
The featured instrument was built by the workshop Jan Bečička & Stanislav Hüttl & Petr Šefl, Hradec Králové, in 2005.It is modelled according to the two-manual harpsichord of a German type, the historical instrument conserved at Charlottenburg, built by Michael Mietke (Berlin) in about 1710. The measures of the modern replica we recorded are taken from this historical instrument which served as a template. Strings are from brass. Tuning was set to the original 415 Hz. The compass is FF-f3 with disposition I 8´, I 4´, II 8´, II buff stop (Laute). Manual coupler. The original harpsichord was originally made for Queen Sophia Dorothea of Hanover, mother of Frederick the Great, and placed in her private palace of Monbijou and worked on by Johann Rost in 1720. It was brought to Charlottenburg Castle in modern times.
For the best listening experience, I recommend using headphones, earbuds, or a hi-fi set. The sound dynamics of the pipe organ are truly remarkable and can be fully appreciated with high-quality audio equipment.
Played with the the Cembalo Mietke (Hauptwerk)
Arrangement by Niksa Lendic, Croatia, 2009.
