58: I Play Bach's Table of Ornaments

EDIT June 2024. I have misunderstood the term ‘Applicatio’ in this episode. I now understand it to refer to the application of the fingering — not the application of ornaments, despite the fact that many ornaments are ‘applied’ in the piece. ‘Applicatio’ as I now understand it sometimes referred to the hand position on a string instrument, or here, where to ‘apply’ the fingers. This video highlights the correction. -e.s.Firstly, here is the image of what’s in question:If you’ve ever wondered what all the ‘squiggles’ are about over certain notes in sheet music, this episode will you give you a good idea. Here is the ‘Applicatio,’ the little piece which would have shown Bach’s son (and other future students) how to apply his fingerings. (Note the ‘J.N.J.’ In Nomine Jesu)Just a quick episode today!
