1:03 the registration here is so nice, such a silky sound.

A nice contrast to the one right before it.

Really happy you did 532 !! Thanks for everything you do Smalin 🥰

This is stunningly beautiful and by splitting it into segments which click together and then part you again make it easy for musical illiterates such as myself to see what Bach was doing (which is amazing in itself).

Another amazing visualisation! A perfect balance between making musical structures visible, yet having visual surprises. Would Bach have liked it? Yes, but perhaps he would have felt like a magician whose tricks are now on public display.

I remember a story about Bach where he listened to the beginning of a fugue a fellow musician had composed, and started telling the people around him how he predicted the fugue would develop, based on the compositional opportunities the subject offered, and then laughed with pleasure when he was shown to be right. So, I imagine that he'd be happy for people to have his level of insight into his music.

These just keep getting better and better!

Looks like Bach is playing a bit of Scarlatti's here 😅... Once more beautiful work Smalin...not a surprise!

Fantastic rendition: video & audio go hand in hand.

The ideal music to start into the office day. No joke.

[@h3rotor783]

Outstanding. Thank you.

Excellent video! The fugue is so playful 😀

[@smalin]

Isn't it!!! I think it's Bach's funniest fugue, with the countersubject filling in the hole in the subject, kind of like a nyah-nyah-nyah.

[@simonminay5177]

@@smalin Yes, it's definitely Bach at his least serious! 😆

[@AlessandroSimonetto]

Another great rendition!

[@MaTT-oo8de]
