As additional edit to my last video I’m trying to analyze an improvised Chaconne/Passacaglia by Alexander Weimann on the descending tetrachord. I chose this performance for several reasons. On the technical side: it is relatively short but nevertheless is rich in content and aspects that potentially can be addressed. On the side of artistry: I find this an inspiring and expressive example of genuine jamming on a baroque bass line classic.
Link to the original video:

If you’re interested to learn to jam yourself, I compiled a tutorial on this kind of bass line and how to draw a Chaconne from it:

There is an obvious typo in the transcribed example at 02:43 (and that later one that explain this part): the tenor in bar 3 is supposed to be a-f-g... OMG

That moment when Pachelbel in his Ciacona in F minor, after goodness knows how many iterations of F Eb Db C, suddenly and unexpectedly modulates to the relative major and unleashes a Monte Romanesca. A glorious moment!

6:00 "I wouldn't even try to make functional sense of these progressions but rather look at these chords as a secondary but fancy stuffing within an established outer voice framework that is open for multiple chordal fillings."

@@en-blanc-et-noir Nothing wrong with that "strange 65 chord", nor with the 64 chord as preparation of the first 7th chord. Look up Rameau's chapters on chromaticism, for example p. 394, 400. 🙂

I remember seeing this video several years ago and downloaded the video and audio to transcribe his playing to guitar. I'm glad you discussed it here.

There is a baroque improviser on KZfaq called Borogrove. He has amazing performances there in my opinion. I'd love to have your input on him.
