My mother took off this video, so the beginning is incomplete. I'm autodidact and at this time, I'm not ready with practising it, so no comment at the mistakes please. I will make a new one and also the fugue!!!

Nov 18, 2008 - what is this instrument called?what is the difference between the 2 layers?
jcastano Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - i would like to know more about the instrument you're playing -- maker, etc. is it yours? i'm a big harpsichord lover.
OKIN1981 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I am german, and this instrument is made by Neupert. This Type is a special version, I told Neupert, how to build it. (how long, which keys, ...) the basic is a model from Ruckers.
silverdalesapphires Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Yeah, what's the disposition and, being a Ruckers copy (Andreas or Johannes?), is it transposing? Also, please can we have the fugue as well?Thanks!
OKIN1981 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I don't know, which Ruckers cembalo he took. It has the dispoition 8'4';8'Laute;Koppel.It is not transposing, because I don't want to play in a toooo historical way. I'm short in time at this moment, I will make a new version of the Fantasie and Fuge later, sorry.

Nov 18, 2008 - Excellent, one of my favourite pieces of all time. I commend you especially for playing it on a harpsichord rather than a piano. I was also wondering if it would be possible for you to sometime in the future do BWV 911 Toccata and Fuge in Cm?

Nov 18, 2008 - the tuning of this instrument has such a nice character to it also Would you happen to know the scale type?
borizh Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - the part from 2:28 to 2:45 is so beautiful. i wished i could play the harpsichord just to play that part

Nov 18, 2008 - don't mean to be sounding like a noob, but could a music history expert tell me why harpsichords and fortepiano have the colors of the keys opposite of modern pianos?Great playing by the way
gspaulsson Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Could it have to do with the price of ivory vs. ebony, before great white hunter go africa shoot many elephant?
sauterio Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - GREAT!!!!!

Nov 18, 2008 - They weren't racist at that point in time.
gspaulsson Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Racist? How did that get into the conversation? I was speaking of economics.
dolofonos Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I'm no export but I will say that gspaulsson's theory seems ridiculous to me. Both ivory and ebony would have been expensive and only the tops of the keys would be covered. Furthermore, not all harpsichords used ivory and ebony keys, many would have used boxwood and rosewood. Also, not all early keyboard instruments used a 'reverse keyboard'--both types were present. This suggests to me that it was a matter of style, fashion, and tradition; just as is the case with white natural keys today.

Nov 18, 2008 - (I'm no _expert_ either)
dominian42 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - As far as I'm aware it was just the fashion of the time.
wcbroccoli Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - It was to show off the whiteness of the players hands.
