#21: Triple Fugue on Bach's themes

[@thebachemulationproject3268]

I'm really thankful for 5 years of support. Thanks for watching my videos and following this channel! 🙂

[@Composer_]

Are you still thinking about doing lessons? :)

[@mehmehmeh360]

You and a guy named "Fugax Contrapunctus", have done a really great job at trying to revive Bach-Style compositions, and prove to the world that it isnt impossible to at least get near to his heights (it seems that there hasn't been many compositions of this style supported by the old institutions and musical schools). I hope this trend Continues!

[@jamisonsanchez9372]

Great to see another upload. I am also wondering if lessons are still a possibility in the future.

[@79_Au.]

So great that you are bach!!!!! Cannot wait!

[@Nooticus]

🧡🧡🧡 so so hyped to see this. The return of the legend. All of us who thought you were Gerubach for years were completely wrong! 🤯

[@DownLoadBach]

I like this and I could imagine a similar project with the three themes from Contrapunctus 14 plus the 14 note ornamented variation of the Art of the Fugue theme.

[@matthewwhitehouse301]

Your work is incredibly high quality. I myself have dabbled in counterpoint however it isn’t my strongest skill, my passion lies within in the realm of later 18th century composition.

[@vibhavperi983]

You carry both the genius Bach and the legacy of Gerubach. This was awesome.

[@AndresPozosComposer]

Thank you for coming back, i missed you, i regularly visited your concerto in D major (19) it feels just so right when i listen.

[@Attie64]

Concerto in D minor #20 is my top favorite masterpiece on this channel. ❤ brilliantly made.

[@AndresPozosComposer]

@@Attie64 20, has a bit more sophisticated structure, i like it and i agree is very good as well, it just something about the 19 that i want to listen to it again and again!

[@alindmay]

​@@Attie64coincido contigo, el re menor es la mejor entre las 21 obras publicadas. En todas el contrapunto es perfecto, en ese concierto nr 20, sin embargo, tambien hay esa expresividad emocional que Bach , Vivaldi y otros genios de la epoca lograron. Gracias Mr Emulation por su trabajo!

[@AndresPozosComposer]

@@alindmay I've showed, in a conversation i had with The Bach Emulation this piece i did, he liked it a lot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqHUYnSufphsepI&ab_channel=AndresPozos-Composer- As bach is my biggest influence and ispiration, i invite you to listen too.

Hi Bach Emulation Project. So Happy your not dead!!!

[@aksuli1]

Excellent!

[@Attie64]

Omg❤ i love it

[@jmpeax3596]

BWV 232 #15 immediately came to mind after this! Thank you!

[@howardyu50211]

Awesome

[@pianeto]

😍😍😍❤ Brilliant! Genius!

[@lorganiste8953]

Hello ! That's a nice fugue you wrote there ! but one thing comes to mind... I thought you were Gerubach and you were dead...

[@gabrieldissenha]

Nice entrance of the themes on the cadence to F at 2:38!

[@barococo8090]

OMG !!!! Cette fugue est EXTRAORDINAIRE ! Qui en est le compositeur ?? Bravo !!!!!

[@demandols8555]

Ce sont les sujets des contrapunctus 8 et 11 Art de la fugue

[@linu7305]

Sounds like inversion of Bach the art of fugue no.8

[@jamesrockybullin5250]

They're from contrapunctus 11, which, you're right, are inversions of the themes from 8.

[@pregart001]

I would like to play your beautiful works. Is sheet music available?

[@awreckingball]

This is hilarious lol. It sounds like a parody.

[@boboleclown1]

Wondeful work, thanks. Maybe you can be the one who completes the unfinished fugue of the Art of Fugue?

[@barococo8090]

Ohhhh la la !!!! Quelle bonne idée !!!!!❤

[@DJKLProductions]

There are already some completions. A few composers have already done that. One variant was recorded by the Netherlands Bach Society. Check out their arrangement and recording of the Art of Fugue: it's a feast for the ears!

[@mehmehmeh360]

I have a question. I see the multiple themes in Red, Pink, Blue, and Green, but how are the non colored note sequences formatted? I see that some of those sequences seem to be inversions of some of the themes, like an inversion of the blue theme in some parts of the fugue, but is there a format to "tie together" the main themes so that they fit? I tend to be always stuck on sections like 1:39 , where it just keeps going and going, without finding a way to find a transition to the next subject. I dont have any experience in these, but I'm curious on to how these fugues work. Thank you!

[@thebachemulationproject3268]

Thanks for your question. First you need to know what's the departure key and the destination key. When your modulation is done, make sure to increase intensity right before you resolve into the subject. That's a good way to stop. It's very hard to explain this on a message, I'm missing many things. If you have few experience I do not recommend to take this fugue as an example, it will be misleading. Analyze Bach's Invention in C Major for instance.

[@ivansrg05]

So finally he's not Geru

[@sergiocattapan1192]

È bellissima!

[@w12337]

Do you do lessons to teach this stuff? Really want to find a tutor who can help me with counterpoint. I can write in counterpoint but not to nearly this depth yet.

[@AquaFX]

Sounds Nice

[@marcocampus7943]

The First theme Is from Contrap 8 but reversed??

[@demandols8555]

You can find the reversed subjects in the contrapuntus 8 and 11 also

[@Michele15237]

Infinita! 😊

[@lingott111]

​@@Whatismusic123try writing a fugue of this complexity and then maybe we can talk about it. Until then you'd better keep quiet

[@lingott111]

@@Whatismusic123 So you say that your "Fugue song in C minor" is better? If so, I feel sorry for you. However, I saw that you have a bad reputation, since you shovel mud on other people's works. I suppose that you suffer from a serious superiority complex.

[@DJKLProductions]

I deleted my comment because I no longer agree with what I had written. I wasn't in my right mind when I wrote my nasty comment because my cold was at its peak at the time and I was a bit grumpy as a result. I sincerely apologise. Of course I know your other fugues and I like almost all of them and because they are more original than this one, I simply and meanly wrote on without giving it a second thought. I have now made up for this and deleted my comment. So don't stop writing fugues and other contrapuntal works because of a shitty person like me! Fugal writing is simply one of the most beautiful things one can do, which is why I chose to focus on it when I completed my bachelor's degree in music. Since I haven't done much research on you, it would be interesting to know what your musical background is!

[@thebachemulationproject3268]

No worries, we all have those off days. I really appreciate you taking the time to reflect. Your decision only says positive things about you as a person. I'm sure your fugues are fantastic, and I hope one day I can listen to them with admiration.
