HISTORICAL PITCH (AND WHY “BAROQUE PITCH” IS NOT A 415) / You probably know that modern pitch is A 440, but it wasn’t always that way. Historical performers today usually play Baroque music at A 415, but that isn’t quite correct either. So what is the history of pitch and how did the pitch of A change over time? And what really is “Baroque pitch”?
This video explains what pitch was like in music from before the 20th century and how that affected the music that was written in the past, specifically in the Baroque era. We explore in detail J.S. Bach’s cantata BWV 31 and all the things it can teach us about historical pitch.
