Well said. In fact, Bach made this in a style of Italian concerto grosso. Some have suggested that Bach indeed wrote this for Orchestra and also for solo keyboard, but only the solo keyboard survived

thank you 👍

Davvero!

SI!

Concordo ;-)

E lo ha fatto, in effetti. La mano destra suona la parte del violino, lo so perché l’ho provato tutto ed è perfetto in quanto a passaggi su due corde e cambi di posizione. Ci sono molte musiche sue scritte in origine per violino che poi lui ha adattato per la tastiera. Tanto per fare un esempio molti dei concerti per clavicembalo e le sei trio sonate per organo.

There is not a good split between the tutti and a soloist though, so I'd say it's imperfect in that way, though it is great, fantastic work.

I could try to transcribe it, but I think it would be a lot of guesswork. (but there is a large portion that isn't too hard to transcribe as it is taken directly from the original)

Right, that's how I felt. I could try to transcribe it, but I'm interested to see how it was done really.

Interesting that you inquired a year ago, and now your video is out. :)

yes, listen carefully to it and then write it down!

I could try this but it would be impossible for me to transcribe the viola parts :(

I agree

Yeah, there is a reason why it's called concerto. Keep in mind that lots of Bach's works are lost, and Bach made plenty of solo instrument transcriptions based on his previous chamber/orchestral works

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart My Nigga, too 😅

+Vinicius Ferreira da Paixão I don't know what you're talking about. There are cellos and even double basses and a harpsichord in the orchestra.

Please don't use google translate, you make no sense

@@Timrath he is talking about the 'solo' part accompaniment.

Which begs the question... who cares?

It is in the original key.

EugenArbrakh The original key is F, it sounds like F#. However, normally, the orchestral version ascends half a key.

+SanderPereboom "Original key" is a meaningless term. Just because you're used to a certain tuning doesn't mean anything. Tuning varies not only by era, but also by country, genre, ambient temperature, or a musician's whim. In any case, how would you know what the "original key" sounded like when Bach played it? I'm not saying that it's not known - it is actually known, and his F major was radically different from what we have agreed at the beginning of the 20th century of calling "F major".

+SanderPereboom Preserving the original key didn't mean that much to Johann Sebastian Bach, when he transcribed his violin and oboe concertos into harpsichord concertos. What he *did* care about, was finding a suitable key for the harpsichord - even if this meant transposing the music slightly up, or down. The same goes for this arrangement of Bach's Italian Concerto. Yes, the original key is F major. But apparently G major is better suited for the solo violin part. And who are we to disagree? :-) BTW: +durant kevin They are playing their instruments at baroque low pitch (A=415 Hz), which makes G major sound like F# major. ;-)

Martin Möller oi mate wtf do you mean its poorly played?

Bob Wub I mean it could have been played better. More like the original work. This is too light, too fancy, I think.

The whole point of the IC was for it to sound like a concerto transcription

@@martinmoller5591 I agree with you that I'm not a huge fan of this transcript or its rendition. I too would have preferred something closest to the original... However I disagree ones shouldn't attempt to adapt this piece for strings. Myself I enjoy playing the right hand with my violin... Well I keep this to myself obviously... I also seem to have read somewhere that some Bach scholars wondered whether there existed a, now lost, violin concerto by Bach, the klavier version we have being him transcribing himself like he did for other genuine Italian concertos (Vivaldi, Marcello).

Ignore the troll
