en effet !! mais franchement à l image de toute sa musique, si céleste. personnellement je trouve ses 2 autres mouvements incroyablement beaux aussi. Au fait, quand j ai découvert Bach, je dois avouer que les concertos pour plusieurs claviers m ont donné encore plus d' émotion, jusqu' à me faire verser des larmes.... c' est pas rien non plus ces concertos ! Mais bon on peut pas tout citer de Bach, ce serait trop long....

Favorite Bach piece of mine, I listen to it every day. Probably one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

[@tomraspanti2755]

This is easily some of the best music I have ever heard in my life. You can't even touch Bach with his creativity, expression, and beauty. Such a boss.

[@svetsarkirurgen2]

Bach is beyond genius. It's just unfathomable. It's like every note and idea he put on paper transcends

[@gustavogutierrez5482]

To think that each and every note of every instrument was conceived, arranged, played and painstakingly written note by note, each with its proper tempo, cadence, duration and tone is simply mind numbing. Twenty two minutes and forty one seconds of an absolute masterpiece. The amount of knowledge, hard work and extreme genius on the mind and hands of a single man. Congratulations on the video, is breathtaking to try to follow each note and to think of the virtuosity of the players that not only follow and see the score but also execute it with mathematical precision and play it with passion. Great!

[@keithramsell9955]

Fifty percent genius: 50 percent bloody hard work! I don't know about this work, but I am very familiar with the original m/s of the 6 solo violin sonatas: not a single correction, erasure, or error of any kind, written with ink and a quill, probably by candlelight. SUPERHUMAN!!! And his dear wife and helpmeet Anna Magdalena, whose m/s of the 'cello sonatas we possess, equally beautifully written.

[@tj-co9go]

​@@keithramsell9955 i think Bach used sketches and practiced writing the piece before doing the final version. This is not to diminish the genius of Bach: he clearly thought carefully beforehand what he would compose and would present it only when he was completely ready with the piece

Gerubach, Thank you for helping me to improve my sight reading. I've been wanting to get back into playing for years, but never really quite got the hang of reading music. The scrolling scores and the beautiful pieces you chose to share have all contributed greatly to my appreciation and education of the music, the different styles of the classics, and the great composers who wrote them. Thanks again

[@nickhiggsthesinger]

I have been a subscriber of this channel for many years now. I cannot tell you how much you have helped me improve my ability to interpret and understand music. As a professional singer, one of the skills we don't often spend enough time perfecting is the ability to hear how instruments interact with each other. As a visual learner, your scrolling score videos have allowed me to fully experience the counterpoint (of which Bach is the master). When I sing with orchestra, I'm now better able to hear and understand my relationship to the instruments around me. THANK YOU!

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I listen to melodic and symphonic black metal, melodic death metal, folk metal, anything with roots in Baroque music. But for 22 years now, I've thrown on Baroque, usually with Trevor Pinnock at the panels, for my "heavy" fix without offending the neighbors 😂 This first movement is one of the heaviest movements and I love it so much. I even love the super slow movements that make me think of magical forests, starry night skies, or even the Age of Sail for some reason. Handel and Bach are my go-to metal bands. 😎 Btw, I've been teaching myself the transverse flute for a few years and play along with your sheet music videos gerubach (at very slow speeds 😂), thank you!!

The 1st Movment is the sinfonia of BWV 146, the 2nd Movement is an instrumental version of the 2nd Movement of BWV 146, and the 3rd Movement is the Sinfonia of BWV 188. What they did is replace the Organ with Harpsichord but yeah it can be played on any Keyboard instrument. BWV 1052R is a Reconstructed Violin Concerto in the Same Key of D Minor but I've decided to play the Solo Violin part down an Octave on the 5 String Cello w/ a High E String.

[@jacktheflyboy]

That's so true

[@robertgreene2684]

If you can play that violin version on the cello(even the five string cello)--well I am impressed. It is really tough for the violin--as reconstructed at least, it is the toughest concerto before the 19th century. I find

Leaving Manchester University July 9th. 1951, I started busking 5 hours every night in a shoe-shop arcade in Leicester square. 100 or so people would listen in open-mouthed silence as I played the 6 unaccompanied violin sonatas, the 2 concertos and sometimes, with a friend the Bach "Double". November 6th. the same year I bought my first house with the proceeds. Very few, I'm sure, were familiar with Bach's music and most had probably never heard a violin close up before. People were absolutely RIVETED, hypnotised simply by the self-evident greatness of this extraordinary music.

I heard that Joshua Bell was unsuccessful busking in New York. Maybe he should have tried playing Bach!

People: "Bach never uses parallel octaves" Bach:

[@yaboibobby7776]

I've never seen a man make and break so many rules at once until I looked at the music of Bach

[@Alekos95]

Malcolm Bojangles Orchestral/textural unisons/doublings are not parallel octaves.

[@jbik140]

but he didn't

[@pietersmal5903]

But he didn't! Parallel octaves are forbidden in 4-part harmony (choral music). But orchestral texture is different, because the sound is different from that of a choir! So, strictly speaking, Bach never uses parallel octaves!

[@acrid8952]

Consonances moving in parallel are forbidden in strict counterpoint - they cause two voices to lose independence; however, if the voices were not applied in counterpoint, it is acceptable for them to move in parallel. P8, P1 are just doublings at the octave.
