A: Here is the prelude and the corresponding fugue: www.musanim.com www.musanim.com Q: What instrument is that? A: It's the guitar sound that comes with the Sibelius notation software; I'm playing it from a MIDI keyboard. Q: Who is that in the photograph? A: The composer (me) and Patricia Anne Carbon (for whom the piece was written). The picture was taken at the Ranch House Restaurant in Ojai, California. The photo was taken to advertise a concert we played in Santa Barbara. Q: Can you tell me more about the piece? A: During the summer of 1975, my friend Peter Harsch was traveling and needed a place to store his harpsichord. I was living with my parents at the time, and offered to keep it in my bedroom. As I composed this piece, I tried it out on both harpsichord and piano, so it can be played effectively on either instrument. The instrument I'm playing it on in this recording has aspects of both: the pluck of the harpsichord with the dynamic range of the piano. It's also been transcribed for string orchestra and for brass choir (by me) and for string quartet (not by me). In this piece, I was trying to write a kind of ..." onmouseout="mouseOutImage(this, '4', 'FFFFFF')" onmouseover="mousOverImage(this,'6erFRhaTSBs',1, '4','DD424E')" /> Malinowski,...
The Allemande from Johann Jakob Froberger's Suite XIV in G minor, performed by Stephen Malinowski, accompanied by a graphical score. FAQ Q: Where can I get the sheet music for this song? A: Here's the PDF I played from when I recorded it: www.musanim.com Q: Who is Froberger? A: A German composer; you can read more about him here: en.wikipedia.org Q: What instrument is that? A: It's the guitar sound in the notation program Sibelius, played from a keyboard. I first heard Froberger's music on an LP Thurston Dart recorded in 1954; he performed on a clavichord. Here is that album: www.audiophileusa.com It's since been re-issued on CD: www.musicweb-international.com The clavichord allows for variation in dynamics, which Dart used to good effect, and his playing is always in the back of my mind when I am playing these pieces. I have some sampled clavichords (which I've used in some of my videos), but yesterday I tried playing the Sibelius guitar, and liked how it worked on Froberger's suites: more expressive than a harpsichord, but less expressive than the piano, and a more pleasant sound than a clavichord (though not as good as a real guitar). Froberger's pieces (especially the allemandes in his suites) take many stylistic elements from the lute music of the time, so there is a certain justifiable rationale to this choice. Froberger, Suite...
