BWV 539 - Prelude & Fugue in D Minor “Fiddle” (Scrolling)

[@ALRuble]

That fugue is wonderful on every instrument.

[@leo_vccr7270]

Andrew Ruble Yes

[@albertomarcantonio3179]

That's Bach music for you! :)

[@stevetillery2432]

Oh yes!

[@wuillymay8815]

Lol

[@fpm1979]

The well-tempered tuning of the organ plus the tremulant and the softer registration gives this piece so much more character.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Bach's music is so good, he transcribes his own music for different instruments! lol

[@KennyCnotG]

Bach was the king of recycling music lol, especially chorale harmonizations and cantata parts. Part of why his output is so massive.

[@khgkfghru858dfh]

Είναι προφανές ότι είστε άσχετοι από σύνθεση. Οι συνθέσεις έχουν μια συνέχεια, από τη μία στην άλλη. Όλοι έτσι έκαναν πριν και μετά από αυτόν. Όχι μόνο στη μουσική, γενικά όλοι οι καλλιτέχνες. Μάθετε την έννοια της παραλλαγής, παρακαλώ και την ικανότητά της να προσδιορίζει το αρχικό θέμα

[@pseunition6038]

@@KennyCnotG I'd say Handel was the King of that.

[@KennyCnotG]

@@pseunition6038 yeah he's a contender for that lol but it was definitely much more common to unashamedly rework pieces back then, compared to more modern times like 20th century to now it feels like. Unless your Eric Whitacre ;)

[@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven]

Liszt (and I) did that every so often as well!

[@renan1033zinho]

he really liked this fugue

[@organlover7893]

Very elaborate fugue Bach is the ultimate genius

[@PointyTailofSatan]

BTW, if you are wondering why it's nicknamed the "fiddle", it's because the fugue is from Bach's Sonata for Violin BWV 1001.

Fuga 2:05 = Fuga from Bach’s 1 violin sonata?????

[@thekathal]

I think thats why its called the fiddle prelude and fugue, but this would have come first

[@thereyougoagain1280]

Spitzflöte15 4 why would this have come first?

[@thereyougoagain1280]

@Andrew Aiello maybe, but the fugue doesn’t really sound like it was composed for organ. The arpeggios in the top voice are very typical of violin compositions, the piece in general seems to not take advantage of the organ’s power, which is unusual for Bach’s organ fugues, not to mention the pedals are noticeably sparse, which is again unusual for Bach, who was known for complex and clever pedal work, but this would make sense if it were arranged from violin. In general, though, violin pieces, particularly fugues, need to be composed with the capabilities of the violin in mind. There are chords and intervals that can’t be performed, or if so only with extreme difficulty, on a violin that would be simple on a keyboard. Violin pieces are more frequently transcribed for other instruments than the other way around.

[@haydnschlinger6740]

@@thereyougoagain1280 Also the chords in the lower voices are typical of his violin sonatas and partitas, but not in his keyboard style.

[@adanayup9268]

Esa maravillosa fuga se escucha en la sonata para violín de Bach en sol menor la número 1

[@victorheredia7185]

El rey del organo!!!

[@yuk_notkim7658]

JS Bach was truly one of the most perfect composers.

[@SusanneStechow-r6n]

This fugue is the fuguein G/ minor from te G minor sonata No. 1 from te Six sonatas and partitas for violin solo, only transposed to D minor. It is especially interesting for me, because I am a violinist. Therefore is the fugue's name, probably, "The fiddle"l, because it is reworked from a violin piece. Bach was also a great violinist and ad a great and deep understanding of the instrument of the violin.

[@marinromer]

Thank you for your work

[@12semitones57]

Happy Christmas Eve!

Those last two bars really look like they're going left. I know it's that weird psychological effect, but even so :P

[@turiddudegaetano8725]

Lovely! Many thanks!

Wonderfull organ, or registration only? :-) And greatly played ...

[@victorpaesplinio2865]

This is a 5 voci fugue? Wonderful!

[@authenticmusic4815]

Yes, except that all the 5 voci are... Silly and don't even sound like melodies lol

[@infernal-toad]

If this instead of BWV 533 in E minor COULD be the sample of the Organ segment in R1 Place in the world fades away, then I still can’t find the exact part that was used. But it’s possible Leyland Kirby added multiple layers in it or scrambled with it such as the earlier Post-Awareness tracks.

[@yaboibobby7776]

Is that fugue from his violin sonata, or is the fugue in the violin sonata from this? Also, thanks for uploading!

[@einSteppenwolf]

Obviously the former. As string instruments are ill-suited to the complex polyphony of a fugue, such compositions are tailor-made for the violin.

[@alexanderweisman3040]

I recognized the fugue but had no clue where it came from. I'm so happy you told me where it came from.

[@tttttt2300]

it's the fuga of the 1 st sonata

[@sykhro]

Based on the BWV number, this fugue got transcribed for the violin sonata.

[@12semitones57]

sykhro BWV is organized by genre, not by date. BWV starts with cantatas, masses, organ works, keyboard works, solos, orchestral works, etc.

4:36 - - - - Toccata und Fuga im D Mol...

[@kino4653]

Yes, I thought the same when I heard that section, but I think it's quite commun in J.S.Bach's music to reuse melodies.

[@svetsarkirurgen2]

@@kino4653 it's not yhe same but they are passages of the same violin technique so they sound similar. Both pieces are violin transcriptions

[@CarloTheImmortal]

Is it me or bach basically added a chorus to the fugue? Lol. Also that preludes one of the most underrated pieces of all time.

[@tjpj111]

Either I need a hearing test or some of the choices here lack clarity in the pedal part?

[@mullenenterprises]

I know that ive heard this exact fugue before but i dont recall listening to it independently. Its like something you hear in movies, you just cant say where its from. Anyone know?

[@fredericfrancoischopin6971]

Idk which movie is, but I know this fugue from ,Bach's another masterpiece, Violin sonata G minor Fuga part.

[@konstantinkrystallis8484]

What is the organ? Could someone please tell me the registration at 2:49 and 3:55?

[@berttenhaken7878]

@Gerubach: why did you pair the prelude played by Peter Hurford with the fugue from Michel Chapuis? I think the original recording of Michel Chapuis is second to none, listen to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn2cmZmqbpuCmLs Especially the notes enegales (pointed rhythm) used here are very beautiful. The organ is the Arp Schnitger from the Saint Michael Church in Zwolle, the Netherlands.The leaflet does not state the individual stops used for these interludes. There is also a master class from Michel Chapuis on KZbin where he analyses BWV539...

[@keescanalfp5143]

the rather special registration could include a stopped flute 8’ and a soft double octave 2’, perhaps even triple octave 1’, in that case without the 2’.

[@joshscores3360]

0:17 - Prelude 2:05 - Fugue

[@giobrach]

What is the temperament of this organ? Seems to be not equal at times, like the beginning of the fugue.

[@Elhombresombra]

Definitely not equal, but can't tell what it is... maybe a Kirnberger III?

[@Garettmwest]

From 2:49-3:24 & 3:54-4:21 I feel like i'm in the backrooms

[@erictesteguide4027]

Is it Cliquot organ of Poitiers cathedral ?

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Don't often hear the tremulant in a fugue.

[@albertochaconrivas9761]

Cuando te mandan leerte un libro en clase pero ya tienes el resumen del libro el de el año anterior y lo copias ;)

[@felixmendelssohn4301]

So the fugue was later used in bach' s violin sonata no.1 ?

[@felixmendelssohn4301]

Henri Roy cool but I think that the violin fugue sounds more wow

[@thereyougoagain1280]

Felix Mendelssohn it’s the other way around. It’s originally from his violin sonata 1.

[@boqin4411]

I like the registration used in Ton Koopman's version of the prelude better. I think this version has too many overtones for the prelude which is manual only and a rather elegant piece.

[@larikipe940]

I love and adore the tremolo, BUT NOT IN THIS FUGUE FOR CHRISSAKE!
