Bach: Toccata in F Sharp Minor, BWV 910 (Mndoyants, Peterson)

[@hassansoliman970]

Absolutely speechless, I've always been blown away by Bach's music but this is just overwhelming.

[@Philobach]

ces toccatas pour piano c a été mon oeuvre pour piano de Bach préférées. mais pas Glenn Gould il faut écouter. Moi aussi Bach est mon idole en fait. le maitre de la Beauté , de l inspiration mélodique , déjà.

Extraordinary! This could aptly be described as advanced musical calculus! Thank you for posting. The pianist must have a brain like a computer!

Lo más impresionante de Bach al piano

De toute beauté! Bach dans toute sa splendeur. Merveilleux.

I'm putting this in a playlist for later reference the next time someone asks what B♯, E♯, and double sharps are for.

I still don't get it but :D

[@southernhawkstudios]

@@itsohaya4096 It's for "ease" of reading when you have lots of sharps or flats, or in less familiar keys, like it's usually a G, but actually it's in C sharp Minor so it's a G sharp, but you want a g natural, but if you write it it'd look confusing in that key, so an F double sharp would go instead (more apropos for arpeggios and scales) Chopin loved double of anything, I don't think Paganini wrote one double sharp or flat cause he knew that shit was taxing and sort of unnecessary in the long run, but it does make reading some musical passages easier.

1:30 At first, this sounds like the start of a fugue.... but bach didn't continue with that idea.

Maybe could upload a clavichord/harpsichord version of this?

Interesting he did NOT use a piccardy third and end in A Major.

[@clarkebynum4623]

So if he had ended in A major then he would have been ending in the wrong key actually. This is in F# minor and A major is the relative major to F# minor. It is unmusical to end in a different key than you started (outside of the major of the key, such as F# minor and f#major) So in this instance he actually did end in a Picardy third by ending on an f#major chord. A Picardy 3rd is just when the 3rd of the tonic (home or 1st) chord is raised to become major.

@@maliziosoeperverso1697 I am of course open to being wrong but this is my understanding. If you'd like to provide baroque examples that are not wildly obscure that end in a different key than they started then I would love to listen to them!

[@maliziosoeperverso1697]

@@clarkebynum4623 I'm not trying to prove that it's common. I'm poking fun at your choice of words. It's not "unmusical" anywhere, although it may be _unusual_ in the baroque era.

The haunting chromatic scales sound better on a harpsichord, this is serious business and not Mozart.
