From the Clavichord to the Modern Piano - Part 1 of 2

[irisce]

Literally the only guy I've seen who actually understands and physically plays an instrument when showcasing it, unlike most other boring reporters who are just reading off memorized script.

For anyone searching - I've finally found it: The piece at 6:12 is from the Antwerpener Tanzbuch (Chorearum Molliorum Collectanea, 1583) by Pierre Phalèse and is called Gaillarde Mais pourqoy. So far, I've only found a recording with an arrangement for multiple instruments, not for solo harpsichord.

This video single-handedly got me interested in historical instruments back in ninth grade. Now I have my own clavichord!

My grandmother has a harpsichord I used to play on all the time when I was a kid. You can really feel the pluck when you press down each key, it's a completely different feeling from playing piano.

the harpsichord is so very fabulous. it makes you feel as though you are in the renaissance

This guy looks like a Red Dead Redemption character

The harpsichord sounds like a mix of a modern piano and a guitar, that's why I love it!

[foresur]

I love the way he changes his posture when speaking in German

[liranziv]

when he started to play my jaw fell off very nice

Harpsichord is majestic and heavenly instrument, I would listen to it for the whole eternity.

Love these instruments and I've especially loved harpsichord since I first heard it! Transports me back in time. Maybe I had a past life during those times...

David is an absolute boss, and can play literally anything, and can easily read full scores. He's an unbelievable musician, one in 100 million really.

The harpsichord sounds absolutely phenomenal, like the brightest and most brilliant acoustic guitar

I was told the clavi/harps had limitations that the piano solved...however they still have its own character and I appreciate it

I've taught piano for 20 years and this is the best info video with actual examples of all keyboards I have found. Thank you!!!

[kellyhenderson]

I’m impressed at how he’s well versed in all these instruments. These pianos are very different from one another ... you really have to have a good ear to be able to be get the flow.

It's nice to see how Trevor has recovered from his GTA trauma

i like when he said " this piano Mozart finally bought" reminds me how i borrow tools or an instrument to a friend and they never return the item and finally they decide to give me some money and purchase it from me, in which case i never get back the initial investment but in turn i end up helping a friend in need

This man is such a good presenter. I could listen to him explain anything.

Sad to see this channel posted 4 very high quality videos 10 years ago and hasn't posted anything since.
