Art of Fugue (Contrapunctus 1) - Play Thru & Notes

[@alkibiadespapaparaskevopou8278]

Since I do not have the patience to study it and learn it my self, I will be watching it over and over trying to listen to individual voices each time. Great work as usual. Thanks from Greece.

[@pennyplaysbach]

Thank you! Indeed, it is a huge undertaking to learn this music!✨

The required amount of silent switches is beautiful. Really shows how thought out the creation process was in order to balance the harmonies and melody. After all, most of us weren't born with four hands. 😂

Bravo, Penny. This video is fantastic, because it combines the beauty of your performance, extremely clear voices, precise and rich articulation, and at the same time, it is a lesson in analysis. It was so interesting to follow your score. I wish you a wonderful Christmas and thank you for your production here on KZbin, which is so inspiring for us Bach lovers. Greetings!

I should make more comments in my music sheets. I will take your notes as inspiration. Thank you!

[@pennyplaysbach]

Thank you! I am absolutely a fan of writing notes in the music!✏

[@skyrider828]

Wow!!!

[@pennyplaysbach]

Thank you!

[@Jartious]

Do you think Bach thought of all the terms which you have annotated whilst composing, or was he just genius enough to do it all automatically?

[@pennyplaysbach]

Perhaps some, others not. Some 20th century influences, in particular, are at play in my notes, so that is just my brain doing its thing, however, the notes about Renaissance composers, the printing press and perspective in painting, rhetoric, too, would have surely been a part of his learning. It's all very general, but they are topics that came to mind while studying the piece and considering its unusual place amidst mid-18th century trends. Some of my notes on the page are very recent, others a few years old, so they reflect my journey through the piece, kind of like a musical diary, I suppose.✨

Canta tutte le note e fatti trasportare dalla musica del grandissimo bach

[@davidpauker]

Hi Penny...appreciate the color codes showing where the voices go....BUT...was wondering if you could make available a PDF sheet music file showing your fingerings for this complex composition with all of your finger substitutions??? I could send you a few Pennies(no pun intended) for your service! Let me know please if willing to do.Bye.❤

[@pennyplaysbach]

Glad you enjoyed! The overhead view is the most accurate thing that I can share.
