Baroque Style
What techniques are important for being a good Baroque-style keyboardist?
I’m a very technical player, and would like to know what techniques are necessary to make it truer to the Baroque style.
I try to play with as much precision as I can. I try to make my staccato very prickly, my legato very smooth, and normal notes exactly between. At the same time, I do my best to keep the emotion there. I also do my best to keep the left and right hands even so the counterpoint is heard and the left hand very smooth. My favorite composer is J.S Bach.
Using portato is a way to show off your knowledge of the Baroque period. JS Bach mainly used staccatos called “portato”. (Not potato, portato… haha). They are almost legato, but with a distinctly separated space inbetween, very different from the staccato. The “portato” is a mixture between staccato and legato.
Because they played music on harpsichords and clavichords, they couldn’t always acheive the prickly sound, for the harpsichord and clavichord’s music is made when strings are plucked, instead of hit like a piano’s strings.
