Thanks to those who gave me suggestions on my first episode. I managed to add a little bit more information about this fugue compared to last time. Big thanks for all your support and I'll give my best to provide better content and analysis for the next uploads to come.

The main purpose of this video is to analyze the structure of the fugue, which includes its entries, the parts, the coda, etc. Proper interpretation of the piece in terms of performance may be talked about in a different topic.

It's been more than a month since I started this channel and it was originally about instrumental accompaniments and music analysis. I just want to announce to all my viewers that since the charity I'm working with has a new project which aims to make music education accessible even to financially challenged people, I've decided to include the milestones we'll make as a charity group in the videos that I'll be uploading. Along with that are music analyses, and some slices of my life as a musician, talking about the things I do outside music. Thank you for your support!

I go back to watch these videos from time to time just to brush up on my knowledge about the fugues and their form. Great analysis! I love it! Keep up the good work! Congratulations!

@@rayancharafeddine4982 unfortunately, I do not. The channel's last upload was four months ago. I don't know if it is still active but either way thanks for recommending me this channel

[@ladevotchka]

This is fascinating! Really enjoyed your analysis. *subscribing*

[@TheClassicalNetwork]

Thanks you so much! I'm aiming to analyze all Bach's WTC Book 1 fugues for this year. Thank you for your support.

[@ladevotchka]

@@TheClassicalNetwork You're welcome. Excited to see more. Are you planning on doing any other Bach pieces aside from his Fugues? (i'm working on one of his French Suites right now)

[@TheClassicalNetwork]

@@ladevotchka yes actually, I'm planning to analyze other works as well. I'll take note of that! Which french suite are you currently working on?

[@ladevotchka]

@@TheClassicalNetwork Wonderful! I'm working on the 2nd French Suite in c minor.

[@TheClassicalNetwork]

Sure I'd consider that. I have the hard copy of it here. It's the BWV 813 right? What do you want from it particularly? More on literature or harminic analysis?

[@caterscarrots3407]

Is it just me or do fugues often slow down slightly at subject entries?

[@TheClassicalNetwork]

There are some instances, but professional recordings usually do not. Maybe it's just an effect that some listeners feel because musicians try to emphasize the entries as much as they can. I sometimes experience it myself too nonetheless.

[@mtv565]

You didn't talk about the altered subjects? Those in G minor.
