That's something of her own choice, IMHO, to take this piece rather brisk. Quite opposed to what the rhythm suggests, viz. sarabande in terms of rhythm, tempo and gesture. Obviously, she decided to go sporting some of her virtuosity, as the last couple, which she improvised on her own, shows in particular.
Be that as it may, what I find irritating is that she (admittedly, like some others, too) ignores the direction of separee strokes. The only evidence for this piece is Saizenay p. 20. There, the final clause has three times | |. |\ | | | | | |--------| | | |--------| | | |-d---r--| | | |-\------| | | |-a------| | | |-/------| | | | a | and another three times | |. |\ | | | | | |--------| | | |--------| | | |-d---r--| | | |-/------| | | |-a------| | | |-/------| | | | a | Yet she prefers to indiscriminately play each time | |\ | | | | |------------| | | |------------| | | |-----d---r--| | | |------------| | | |---a--------| | | |------------| | | | a | Mathias <theoj89...@aol.com> schrieb: > All: > I was learning a Vieux Gaultier Chaconne (CRNS ed. no. 49, p.60).
