Bach, Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 in F major (BWV 1046) 1. Allegro

[@amadeus5889]

I love Bach’s use of the horns in this concerto. So bright and warm.

This is the piece I remember hearing as a kid that tickled something in my brain with its "3D-ness" and made me fall in love with Bach.

Layers with different textures 🥪🥇Gotta love Bach 😸

For me it was Brandenburg Concerto no. 4. I was about 14, totally new to classical music, just having fallen in love with Vivaldi at 12 or 13. But I ditched Vivaldi quite quickly when I discovered Bach. His music truly is more “3-D.” Like you said, it tickled something primordial deep in my brain more superficial music like Vivaldi’s couldn’t get to. Vivaldi is great with melodies and punchy starts, but not much else. Once in a while he reaches the sublime. But it’s very much hit or miss with Vivaldi.

A _beautiful animation!_ Although I have heard this piece many times, thanks to your animation I now realize, that Bach used _poly-rhythm_ in this music! _Quite daring for that time!_ I am _so fascinated_ by your animation! I just couldn't stop watching! _Well done, Stephen!_

Stunning visuals on this one. Bach's genius goes past so quickly I need this to see something of the underlying architecture.

Love all of these concertos.

Love your work. Always. But thank you for not putting the gem shapes in the background of this video. Speaking for myself of course, I find that they are distracting and clutter the view of the body of the visualization. That said, thank you so much for the wonderful work that you do. I've watched them all, and my playlists are heavily populated by your videos. You've done so much to help me understand the structure of the music that I love. Live long and prosper.

Nelvana Bach: Brandenburg Concertos

[@123Joack]

Im embarrassed to admit, but I just can’t (yet) appreciate the sound of valveless horns. It sounds so crude and unrefined to me. Please convert me, hornists!

[@aimilios439]

It's acquired taste. I would suggest you listen some Renaissance horn music. Simple but powerful and beautiful. Then the baroque ones will seem extra virtuosic, which they are.

If you're familiar with the sound of Brahms' opus 40 with a valved horn, listen to this version on a natural horn and see if you can appreciate what it brings to the table: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHeal2BmmMiIj8k
