Handel 'Passacaglia' (Suite 7 in G minor HWV 432)

Following on from my video of the Halvorsen/Handel Passacaglia piano arrangement , here is the actual piece that inspired Halvorsen to write his violin/cello version - it’s the final movement 'Passacaglia' from Handel's Keyboard Suite no 7 in G minor HWV 432. Its a fabulous short theme and variations, full of drama and delicacy. Listen out at 1:35 for the variation that has a very great resemblance to the Halvorsen inspired piano version! I've included some time stamps guiding you through the piece and overhead plus score for tutorial.

❤Beautiful piece Louise and you played it perfectly ❤😊

[AltoonaYourPiano]

Nicely done. I love how it despite being in G minor has an upbeat sound (and on harpsichord it sounds downright jovial and jolly). I always enjoy listening to various versions of this piece.

I am glad you shared this! It is great to know the background of Halverson's transcription. Love that ending trill and everything before it! Great playing, Louise!

So so awesome!! It’s great to listen to the whole passacaglia, absolutely wonderful!!! You’re playing with temper and energy, I love it, Louise 🤩

[chrisdurhammusicchannel]

Aha!!! So Halverson took a small portion of a much bigger Handel composition and made a pop tune out of it? (It makes a wonderful pop tune, I love it!) It's great to hear the source material. Excellent performance,
