Even without the edits, these videos have value. The important thing is that you're sharing your thoughts. Between this and discontinuing the series, I think that would be worse.

When I chose prelude and fugue in fm for my diplcm exam, I didn’t even notice that those years were one of the darkest points in my life. Passing the exam and looking back, I am so impressed that Winters reminds me of those bittersweet moments.

Thank you for the sharing of the most delicate intricacies of the harmony...my amygdala is immensely activated .Bach is both a mystery and a miracle .

Great men teach freely (e.g.Liszt) sharing their insights. Thank you for continuing these master classes that will be appreciated in many years from now whilst your hair is not even grey! Also thanks to Ana for her understanding and support.

Disclaimer: not entirely sober. Late Renaissance music seems to have a kind of black magic, and Bach seems to be the last magician. They had an approach to harmony that was more emotional, direct, than what the Classical era could ever do.

Beautifully said. "The Last Magician" captures what separates Bach form his successors: while Beethoven had a genius for looking into the future, Bach found Eternity.

Wasn't Bach a deep God believer? Bach a magician? interesting EDIT: just read what you said in the beginning..

Thank you for the video! Great music

Love your videos- I am already familiar with the score so your exegesis is important. It so happens that this is my favourite prelude with the alternating minor/major character. I am studying Jazz and am convinced that Bach's harmony were just as sophisticated as the common chord extensions played sequentially.

This is a phenomenal video, and the more organic nature of it was equally as informative and valuable as the annotated format with notation. thank you!

I prefer this more old school simple style of „behind the notes“ to the more edited ones with a lot of cuts and drawing on the score. What I liked most of all was that you played all the examples live and not from your recordings.

My 2c I really like the overlays as I got something out of it as well, I liked your explanations with them but if you don't have the time I get that too, I have WTC book one on PDF :)

I am (‘also’) a JS Bach fanatic, and very religious; I really enjoy your insightful analysis [which does mean in Greek to “loosen up”], but it doesn’t diminish Bach’s music, at all. Rather it is like the detailed emphasis on gluons, quarks and hadrons in cosmological relativistic physics and quantum string theory, it is searching, nay even, yearning for that which seems like the unknown Unified Field Theory, but in our deepest essence suspect that it cannot be found, …but, we persevere nonetheless.

Sorry to come up like this, but research Hanmes Alvfen, Anthony Perratt and the “Electric Universe”. You might get a unified view,

I'm aware that your current projects heavily involve the works of Bach, and the WTC in particular, but is it on the cards to do Beyond the Notes episodes for other composers?

Did u ever mention that Beethoven’s metronome could have been faulty and the design had a vulnerablity to inaccuracy by displacement of the counterweight which would mathematically account for the discrepancy ?

@AuthenticSound 3 ай бұрын

no, because it wasn't!

@surgeeo1406 3 ай бұрын

That is a popular "explanation..." I'm afraid you won't find a lot of patience for this Broken Metronome Theory in this community. There are many surviving metronomes from Beethoven's time. By the time they hit mass production, they were very accurate. Also, everyone who cared about Tempo were counting the beats by checking their pocketwatch. Any errors in metronomization would be caught and corrected before printing the scores.

@DohcHama 3 ай бұрын

Andrew- a good analogy would be to play a 33 rpm at 78 rpm- It is very obvious with most records things become unmusical quickly.

@@Andrew_from_Oz_Vinyl_Landscape Then you won't be spinning vinyl. And your eyes would track the path of the metronome unless you had cataracts(Bach and Handel). If you need a challenge just consider the tunings and temperaments that derive from a 12 note scale within an octave.
