Sep 16, 2009 - Just noticed - the woman in the painting that I mentioned is playing the same virginal that you are! :)

lichtbroeder Says:

Sep 16, 2009 - Greetings! If you Google "lady seated at a virginal" you'll find images of a painting by Jan Vermeer in which a woman is, well, sitting at a virginal. So there IS an historical precedence for this, though standing may have been more common. I suppose that with Spaniards attacking all of Europe unexpectedly, the standing position made for a quicker getaway. :)

Aug 14, 2008 - the early music is most intriguing, no doubt due to its unfamiliarity.virginal has a quaint timbre that is very pleasant to listen to..thank you ernst stoltz.

May 28, 2008 - This is a real piece of art! European Art. Great Video! Bravo Maestro! Vladimir.

ernststolz Says:

May 27, 2008 - You are right Val, but I also have to show in some way, that early music is not only a matter of history. (although for me, thinking and placing music in its proper time, is very important)
