We had a really nice time yesterday in our 2-monthly hangout - Jérémy brought variations by Beethoven, Peter had some though questions on a Beethoven sonata, Yuri found a very nice Chopin edition by Pugno and much more.
If you couldn't make it - you will have a gr...

Hi everyone!
Let's meet on Saturday - 7 (!) PM CEST / 1 PM EST. Pay attention to the slightly different time, simply caused by the fact I do have a meeting in Leuven in the early afternoon.
As always, bring your stories, what are you working on, any questions related to the music you'...
2023-10-24 09:11:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
Podcast ep. 7 (instead of 6 as I thought it was) - this time about a very important issue in our beloved Whole Beat Journey - yes we deliver a new vision that easily can be called a paradigm shift (I'm aware of the big claim). But there is more, this window to the WBMP actually...
2023-10-21 15:28:25 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
A long video update is waiting for you here. A lot has happened in the past few months, with several important decisions now in execution. Authentic Sound is soon to become a non-profit organization (what's in a name... I'll share all the details with you). We're also preparing...
2023-10-14 12:51:42 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I had the pleasure of performing a lunchtime concert in Leuven on September 14th,. This was a rather special program featuring only keyboard music, thus focusing on music without involving the pedal board (although I did incorporate it at times).
The concert incl...
2023-09-24 11:36:41 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
Have you ever wondered what the strongest piece of evidence is that proves the historical reality of our beloved Whole Beat? Well, that happens to be just one bar (yes, only one) in Beethoven's Sonata Opus 31 No. 3.
Why, you ask? I explain all of that in this month's podc...
2023-09-13 15:49:43 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Lot of things to share this time (again) - it feels like our project is moving very fast lately. For instance the idea of creating a new organisation around Authentic Sound. How does that sound? And there is more... Mozart's requiem... releasing ALL Beethoven symhonies instead ...
2023-09-05 15:31:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Saturday's hangout was pretty intense- we had a in-depth look at Beethoven's sonata opus 31 nr.3, a sonata Peter is working on, revealing some elements that were new also to me - as for instance the resemblance of the middle movement to Beethoven's 8th symphony's "metronome" mo...

2023-08-23 07:52:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
No historical sources in this episode today. With Alberto's recent interview in mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tHPeP4F2Cc), the next topic came to mind: how do you actually approach a ...
2023-08-19 09:11:02 +0000 UTC View PostYes, I know - I'm late again this month- but I have a very good reason :-). Alberto & I this week finished officially (yes) the recordings of Beethoven's 9 symphonies. It took us 3,5 years and 16 (!) full recording sessions to bring them to the level we wanted. All details in the video that g...
2023-08-15 15:52:58 +0000 UTC View PostHI everyone,
I'm very excited to share this podcast with you. It's a story that I brought in the format of a lecture during the symposium as part of the Leuven Bachfestival. We zoom in on D.G.Türk, 2d generation Bach student who published in 1789 one of the most important treatises on keyb...
2023-07-28 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
as announced in the last update, I'm happy to share with you the footage of the concert I played during the Leuven Contius-Bachfestival. I shared the concert with Hans Davidsson from Göteborg, Sweden. Hans studied (before my time) with the same teacher I had in Amsterdam, Jacq...
2023-07-25 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
Yes, I'm still alive :-). The Leuven Bach festival took place from July 7th till July 15th. I'm back here with an update on several subjects as always, but the most important one probably being the lessons learned after having had a lot of contacts with international musicians ...
2023-07-20 15:00:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
Griepenkerl, you say? No worries, if you don't know who he is, you're not alone. But that's about to change rapidly during this podcast, as we delve into the ca. 1840 edition crafted by Conrad Griepenkerl (1802-1867), which features Bach's organ works. Amidst various intriguing...
2023-06-29 14:50:37 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
we had a nice conversation with a small group of patreons, touching upon quite a variety of topics, from Griepenkerl's Bach editions (idea for a podcast btw) to Peter's question on Mendelssohn's Capriccio opus 14.
Enjoy the replay!
Hartelijk,

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share a brief message to inform you that we launched a new Kickstarter campaign yesterday. It features Bach being played on the beautiful baroque organ at Leuven, performed by yours truly.
Similar to the WTC 1, for all Patreons who feel comfortable suppor...

Something special for you - Chopin's 4th ballade, played by Alberto in a tempo given by Theodor Kullak (1818-1882). Unfortunately we do not have any tempo indication from the composer for any of his ballades. But we do have many Chopin marks given by Kullak. Kullak, forgotten t...

second podcast here on Patreon, this time a very broad topic: where does our beloved WBMP come from? A question many of you asked since the last episode to talk about but a question also that is asked before a lot of times. I mean: a lot lot. And yes, in all the videos publishe...

Hi everyone,
