There are lots of YouTube performances of those two lovely items of classical music for piano—Passacaglia by Händel and Halvorsen, and Mariage d’Amour by Paul de Senneville. They’re normally performed at a quicker tempo, however I favor a slower model, particularly when carried out by the 2 classical guitarists I just lately found and posted—Passacaglia by Boris Björn Bagger and Mariage d’Amour by Iva Kosić.
Passacaglia was written by the nice German-British Baroque composer George Friedrich Händel (1685-1759) HWV 432, and later tailored by Norwegian composer, conductor, violinist Johan Halvorsen (1864-1935).
Paul de Senneville (1933–2023) composed Mariage d’Amour. It was organized by George Davidson and carried out by Richard Clayderman, who, the Guinness Ebook of World Data described as, “essentially the most profitable pianist on the earth“.
I listened to many positive pianists on YouTube taking part in these lovely items. Danish pianist and composer Jacob’s Piano performs Passacaglia on the similar velocity as Boris Björn Bagger on guitar. However Pianist Daisy performs Passacaglia a bit softer and slower, which creates a finer impact.
Jacob’s Piano performs Mariage d’Amour in the same method. Each musicians use tempo rubato (stolen time), a musical approach that entails the refined alteration of tempo for expressive functions. For me, it enhanced the emotional response to the music.
Jacob Ladegaard from Copenhagen, Denmark, aka Jacob’s Piano, identified that Mariage d’Amour had been mistakenly titled and uploaded as Chopin’s Spring Waltz by somebody on YouTube. It reached round 25M views earlier than it was taken down. He stated that Chopin by no means wrote such a chunk. You’ll be able to examine it right here: Did Chopin ever write a Spring Waltz?

I later discovered a younger Indonesian musician, Amy Evelyn (Amy Tapping), taking part in Passacaglia and Mariage d’Amour on a double neck electrical guitar utilizing a two-handed tapping approach. Spectacular!
Final 12 months (6.6.2023), as a part of her Stay in The Balkans Tour, Lola Astanova carried out on the Nationwide Palace of Tradition in Sofia, Bulgaria. Accompanied by domestically chosen classical musicians, she opened her great live performance with Passacaglia and Mariage d’Amour.
