Topic: Bach Brandenburg No 3 1st mvt

Bach  Brandenburg No 3 1st mvt
Renewed, revised version, different registration, more stops in bass pedal too. I wanted more ”power” in the sound. Use headphones, recorded with headphones.

Because of this baroque music, I adjusted this tuning to 415 hz. I read that the note to which Baroque ensembles tuned, varied widely at different times and in different places. (since 415hz is about a half-step below the modern standard of a 440 hz, the pitch of A 415 hz was seized on as a convenient modern ”baroque pitch” standard……wikipedia).
The pipe organ tuning fork in Versailles Chapel in 1795 is 390 Hz !

Thank you so much for your kind comment. This piece of music has required a lot of work, but Joplin's Solace has some beats I can not handle rhythmically, unfortunately. So for me, one Joplin piece is harder than playing Bach ……….!?   (at least right now, and to dazric - I'm sorry dazric, suggesting Solace was a good idea but... I don't give up...),

definitely don't give up!  Solace is indeed a beautiful piece.  ragtime is very different from classical music, it took me a long time to get it when i first started learning it.  but it will pay off!

Thank you budo, for your kind encouragement. Now I will try these ”easier” Joplin ragtime pieces  and maybe save them in a new post:
”The Best Of Ragtime Favorites” ( which you maybe not have heard):
Rag-Time Dance
The Easy Winners
Heliotrope Bouquet
The Cascades
Sun Flower Slow Drag
The Nonpareil

And after I can continue with Solace after a pause….

Re: Bach Brandenburg No 3 1st mvt

those are all excellent.  another possibly easier one to consider is Peacherine Rag:

Looking forward to your continued musical explorations, Stig - always entertaining and inspirational! No pressure on Solace, there's so much else to explore. I wouldn't describe anything by Joplin as 'easy', but Pineapple Rag is another one to consider - it's attractive and fairly approachable.
