Suite 7 for Harpsichord Click to Listen, [5:14]
The Almand is awash in syncopation and quirky ornamentation. Registration: Pleno, repeat upper 8 with lower 4. Courante I continues the same techniques but in a 3/4 meter, on a less pervasive scale. Registration: upper 8' coupled to lower 8', repeat lower 8. Courante II returns to simpler rhythms and sequences for an underplayed conclusion. Registration: lower 8, repeat lower 8' coupled to upper Laute. Temperament: Kellner. Instrument: Cembalo Mietke built by Jan Becicka workshop (2005) - Samples by Jiri Zurek
