One of the most versatile and simple bass lines for improvisation

A discussion around one of the most used bass lines in music (whether Baroque, Classical, or more modern). It's an extremely simple and useful bass line which is great to improvise on. For baroque improvisation, I think it's quite important to sometimes just focus on bass lines to help develop a melodic feel during playing; We often think of baroque music as full of "rules", symmetries and mathematics, but I think that, foremost, at its core there is often a simple but very clear and "singing" melodic voice. I wanted to get back in the habit of posting tips for baroque improvisation (and others!) and I'm also using this very simple video to test some sound recording setup to get both voice and music semi clear (hopefully!). The next "tips" video I post will be about short "mechanical" patterns in baroque music and how to use and improvise with them. Don't hesitate to tell me if you have any comments about sound/etc/ which could be improved! The "too long didn't watch" summary of the video is: "Dont be afraid of using even a trivially simple bass line to improvise on" as it really helps your melody building skills ;-) Find some of my previous tips and tricks here:    • Improvisation Tips and Tricks   Here are some pieces mentioned in the video: Buxtehude E minor Ciacona (BuxBW 160)    • D. Buxtehude - BuxWV 160 - Ciacona e-moll ...   Brahms transcription of the Bach Chaconne    • Sokolov - Bach-Brahms Chaconne for the lef...   Partita No. 2 in C minor (BWV826)    • Partita No. 2 in C minor, BWV826   Agnus dei of the B minor Mass (BWV232)    • J.S. Bach: Mass in B minor "Agnus Dei" - A...   ______.o0) Chapters (0o._______ 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - The super simple bass line 2:07 - Example I (Buxtehude) 5:27 - Example II (Bach Chaconne) 7:53 - Example III (Bach Partita 2) 11:14 - Example IV 12:35 - Ideas for improvising on the bass line
