Hi F Minor,
I've spent a lot of time listening to Handel's Suites 1-4
played by Gould on the Harpsichord and have a question relating to Suite no. 2
in F, the second movement which is played Allegro. The first 15 bars are
played and then repeated. Bars 16 to 36 when played have more depth than
the first 15 bars, as though some mechanism on the Harpsichord was
engaged. As I am not a Harpsichordist, I wondering what Gould did to
get that effect. The nearest thing I can think of is, that the bass line
was being played as octaves as opposed to single notes. If someone could
shed some light onto this I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Ronnie Singer
