@lelle - That didn't sound like notes inegales to me! I was listening to some recordings today, and it seemed the inegales effect was used more in slower pieces than in the faster ones (like in the video you shared).
One ornament I'm having trouble understanding is the one that looks like a parenthesis (sometimes on one side of a note or the other, sometimes on both sides). I've looked at Rameau's table of ornaments, but I don't get from it how to realize this marking. I can see this is going to require a lot of patience ...
Allright, I had some time to check my Rameau repertoire finally.Paranthesis on the right side of the note, i e ")" is like a mordent basically. So if it's on a C, you play C-B-C, for as many or as few repetitions as you like.Paranthesis on the left side of the note, i e "(" is basically an appogiatura https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appoggiatura with the important thing to note is that the note in the score before the marked note determines if the appogiatura is above or below the marked note. So if the score says E and then (C, you play E D-C, and if the score says A and then (C, you play A B-C. Paranthesis on both sides, you combine the appogiatura (adding a short note, either above or below depending on the context, before the written note) and mordent (trill with the written note as the upper note) into one ornament.
I'll take a look, can you post the names of the pieces where the examples you mentioned occur? It'll be easier for me to picture with the score in front of me
Sorry, can you give me bar numbers or screenshots? I'm looking in my urtext and am not able to locate the examples.
This is in the Baerenreiter:
This is everywhere, but for example, in m 1, 3rd beat - do you repeat the E before playing the F?
MM 8 & 9, 2nd half of 1st beat, do you double the mordant at the octave?
M9, 2nd half of 2nd beat, how do you play the pince on top of the trill or mordant in the left hand?
