Bach to the future


Recommended Posts

Will, I'm getting a blank page with your link and I reaaaaally want to hear you as it is one of my favorites pieces! I would also, with your permission, like to add it to my music collection if at all possible!

Rostropovich does a real good job of this little jewel so I studied his style I try to play it in my guitar accordingly (my preferred guitar for these suites: Ramirez, Concert Guitar, 1979) It is not too bad to pretend I'm actually playing the cello for a change when I play the suites! :)

The one you usually hear by many is the Prelude from the No. 1 in G major, one more reason to treasure your interpretation. I love that one too!  

Cheers,

Bob

Will, you have very good guitar tone. I know that because I don't.

I play in a small recorder ensemble and we read a lot of Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann, A. Scarlatti, and others of that ilk; seldom Bach; I don't know why. There are many arrangements of Suites for recorder that aren't that difficult to play; perhaps the name scares people away.

Excellent Bach, however. I was wondering if you might like to repost this to the music blog.

How many of the cello suites do you play? Just curious.

A university course on proprioceptive writing issued a CD set of the cello suites to aid concentration. I told them I'd be able to concentrate better with silence because listening to the cello suites made it impossible for me to concentrate  on anything else.

    • I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!
    • Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.
    • So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
    • Well I’ve never seen the make before and cannot find any info, I haven’t got it just yet it’s been left to me among a 1970’s sea master and a mid size yeoman. But if anyone has any information on this one please feel free to enlighten me, many thanks
