I love how the first melody is the baseline from the Goldberg Variations, and the second melody is/is similar to the subject of the E major fugue from the second book of the Well-Tempered Klavier. I wonder if I could find a piece by Bach that uses the third melody.

I've always loved this fugue. Something about the initial counter subject against the 2nd entrance gets me every time. Great playing, an inspiration to us all!

Interesting to hear to the A against the Bb in the bass line at measure 35. Wondering why that particular choice was made. Being a violinist myself, I most familiar with that version. Thanks for this - I really enjoyed your appearance on BBC Radio 3 Tune In a couple of months ago.

Very much enjoying these - thanks Evan. What is the significance of the wonky staves on the final page - is Bach writing on literal scrap paper, or does it imply the finished piece will end before the mangled lines?
@wtfbach 3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the question! It is not scrap paper as notebook is already bound. He makes entries into it more or less chronologically. Bach typically used a ruler and a rastrum to draw the staves, but in the case of the last page here, the ruler seems like it was not used. Whether this had any influence on Bach completing the composition is conjecture. There are other wonky staves in the 1722 notebook, but these are certainly the wonkiest. There are also empty staves that are finely drawn. Corrupt staves and scrap paper famously enter the equation with the final fugue of The Art of Fugue where the final staff is so corrupt as to show only four lines. I don't see any connection between the two incomplete pieces.

i know that the rest of the Bac(c)h-ants are going to crucify me for saying it, but... I've never liked Glenn Gould. I heard an album ONCE and I thought I was losing it because I had no clue about the humming, no one warned me lol so it soured me on him immediately and ever since then I've been...... very biased against him as if he's poison. He's way too idiosyncratic and I almost never enjoy his wayyy too slow interpretations. I feel like Bach would've been a speed demon for his day lol (zero proof.) Oh. And I DID almost do an All Bach program once. For a competition. And then I got seriously ill and didn't touch the piano for a couple years :/ I still can't touch the 6th Partita's Toccata without getting ptsd, which sucks, b/c I LOVE that piece.

WILD that same part of Fantasia used to scare me (because it was a coffin and I'd been raised, basically, going to funeral homes lol) I wasn't so lucky to get the Bach-Busoni, as a kid, though, first I got the Fantasia sheet music ALBUM. Which was nice, because I really enjoyed playing the third part of Dance of the Hours (which you couldn't find music for at the time for love or money, only the famous part) and then when I was in 2nd grade or so and Fantasia 2000 came out? SO EXCITING for a budding lil pianist lol but yeah. Fantasia was a huge part of what got me into studying piano as long as I did. I missed it so much for those few months I didn't have one in graduate school here at LSU (since I'm no longer a music major 😢)

Those look incredibly awkward and perverse fingerings, although it didn't altogether surprise me. I believe I remember being told that English harpsichord fingering, for example for the pieces in the fitzwilliam book, greatly under-used the thumb, by our standards. What makes these fingerings doubly strange, to me, is that Bach waspre-eminently an organist, and organ legato is particularly exacting, calling for a lot of finger substitution. Next thing we're going to be told he played the pedals with one foot...
@CuervoDeMarte 6 ай бұрын
Harpsichord's key length was close to a 3/4 if compared from a piano white-key length. This means the thumb finger would rest way further from the keyboard, you can try playing a toy keyboard and see for yourself how awkward, the use of the thumb or normal piano fingering, quickly becomes
@ollisaari8722 6 ай бұрын
The reason this looks awkward is that he plays - I'm sure intentionally to demonstrate - with very large finger movements and legato. Both of which are absolutely not standard technique of baroque claver playing, be it harpsichord or organ. Organ legato became a standard only much, much later, in late romantic era. Before that light, articulated touch was preferred and it makes these old fingerings also very much an idiomatic part of that technique.

Thank you! I suffered from tendonitis due to bad posture throughout my career. Pilates helped sort it out. Squeezing a block between my knees, I sit with better posture. I don't perform with it, naturally, but while home I forget to take it away - it's become habit!
