Bach, Fugue (from Prelude, Fugue, and Allegro, BWV 998)

[@evangelosraptis5486]

Is it ever possible to get tired of Bach's music, even after listening to it hundreds of times?

[@smalin]

@@evangelosraptis5486 Some, but not this piece.

Unbelievable, how much beautiful music JS Bach created, you can’t stop listening, when you started it.

[@smalin]

@@MaTT-oo8de Because this piece goes back to the beginning, it’s possible to play it over and over, in a loop, and when I’m alone (so as not to drive others crazy), I often do. It’s so beautiful.

[@MaTT-oo8de]

@ Thanks for your reply! I will try it like this 🙂

Thanks for posting this music. Now i will say from my listening experience put in workss 2) Fugue is like the opening of a folded handkerchief which reveals it's layers slowly. 3) Romantic journey of two melodic lines.

i played this fugue along with the prelude for my final bachelor degree exams and it is deceiving, makes you think it's simple and in reality it is like taking a dive in the vast ocean. So much beauty!

[@amadeus5889]

Well goodness, I could listen to this on repeat all day. ❤

I first learned about this piece from you some 5 years ago. I was in awe. Still am.

My first hearing just now! It is sublimely beautiful, even for Bach. And the visuals are also stunning.

Beautiful! I was going to say I had never heard this guitar transcription before, but listening to it a second time, I do remember hearing it before. It is so beautiful. It doesn't seem like a fugue, but it is. It really suits guitar. I love that dreamy background you put in there. So good! Thank you!

The theme sounds like the incipit of a chorale melody but I forget which (if I'm not hallucinating). Very beautiful video, by the way. This fugue is wonderful, it shows a particularly endearing side of Bach's musical personality, I would say.

[@andreajoybelle]

Such beauty from one man….!

Recently finished the P in PFA, and moved on to learning the F last wee. I checked and was sad to see you hadn't covered it. So happy I checked a second time! Very helpful in learning to hear and separate the different voices, as with the video for BWV 998 prelude. Thank you!

[@smalin]

You might want to also listen to the Richter performance on this (I'd played this piece for decades before I heard him play it, but it was still an eye-opener).

[@MrTheo93]
