Description

In this video, I present an excerpt from my short piano arrangement of Handel’s Passacaglia in G minor, from the “Suite de pieces pour le clavecin”, Vol. 1 No. 7 (HWV 432).
You can find the full arrangement and complete sheet music in the related landscape video linked to this short.
The PDF sheet music is available for purchase on my Ko-fi shop. You’ll find the link in the full video description or on my channel homepage.
Please note that this arrangement shares virtually nothing with the modern piano piece in A minor erroneously known as “Passacaglia by Handel/Halvorsen” — called so in error, since Halvorsen’s original arrangement is for violin and viola, and the modern piano piece was not based on it in any way.
Like the modern piano piece, my arrangement also incorporates the famous 11th theme from Handel’s original score in certain passages, but it is by no means based almost exclusively on it, as detailed in the description of the related landscape video.
The only points of contact are general features common to many piano arrangements, such as the use of arpeggios or broken chords in the left hand.
My arrangement is based on Handel’s original version and was created to be shorter and more pianistic while maintaining the piece’s identity. Therefore, I omitted variations and repetitions that seemed less essential and rewrote much of the left hand. I also added some harmonizations and modified chord inversions.
In this excerpt, I am showing only the 11th theme and its repeat; for all details on the other modifications, please see the description of the related landscape video.
