Intrata, the beginning
It is almost half past one in the morning and I have just decided to publish my first ever blog. I think it is time to give way to some thoughts, to let them out of my head. It is the opening, ouverture, praeludium, intrata...
I am amazed by those few bars from Biagio Marini (20-23) that I have just played on my clavichord trying to put some missing figures. The passion of Italian baroque is overwhelming, the clashes create tension that touches the soul, wandering bass line opposes the static sureness of the right... only to resolve with a harmonious major chord.... I love this music, I love life that created it. I love life...
