YouTube Videos:
Last winter I made several videos which I uploaded to YouTube. They are of variable quality -- the lighting is less than ideal in several of them. On some of the videos the sound was record separately from the video, using a separate digital recording. These are generally of higher audio quality than the ones where microphones were connected directly to the camcorder. Enjoy them for what they are: homemade videos under less than perfect conditions in my living room. But great music on a great instrument.-
Georg Böhm (1661-1733) Partita "Ach wie nichtig, ach wie flüchtig"
Eight variations on a chorale tune. Böhm was the great North German baroque composer who's sphere of influence certainly included the young J.S. Bach. The chorale partita's are probably for harpsichord\clavichord although often also played on the organ. Recent research suggests that Böhm's partita's may have been written for private domestic devotional purposes, rather than for liturgical use. In either case, this is a wonderful set of variations.
