Whow.

[@bikenoobcircle]

Finally another video after so long! Would have been perfect if both wear rings haha shows unity

[@GenuineBloodProductions]

bravissimo!

[@AlbertoSegovia.]

Excellent technique, sensibility and love for the music and the Art of presentation. Thank you for this gift. But the music is too fast. I cannot fathom or believe that people back in 1600's and later enjoyed our lightning-speeds of playing.

[@chrish12345]

this is not Bach's original, its a semi-transcription

[@noahmay7708]

This can be performed by one person as well, no?

[@foodballgodisgood32]

did Bach do this with two hands?

[@F4sT]

Yes

[@polszik]

+Andrew Koh And two feet also, he played organ

[@ThePrime125]

+Paul Szikora Its playable on piano with no prob, even i did it

[@ThePrime125]

MarcusHK1 Its obviously for keyboard, just play it you'll understand. open score writing for fugues was common at the time for fugues, even though they were for keyboard

[@MarcusHK1]

As in the score the 4 voices are written separately, I believe we don't really know, nor for what instrument it was intended, or even if it was meant for any instrument at all, rather than just a means for studying the fugue.

[@lukeluke7082]

0:22 mistake or re create?

[@polszik]

Love the video ! I don't like the cut at 2:09 it break the music...

[@jbbufto]

Le tgv de Bach ...

[@MK-ok6xr]

Why do they move their heads so much and make ridiculous facial expressions? It is so distracting. Nice energy, though.

[@vasanthakumarniles4431]

Agree. Good playing . Bach does not need these theatrics.

[@sascha20011010]

It's a video. As in something you watch. As well as listen to. Acting skills to go with playing skills.

[@miket7281]

too fast

[@joselcioppa]

Good lord, what can you even say?

[@romanstrode1085]

thats cheating! its supposed to be done by one player!

[@kristjan.v]

no it's not

[@arjenbij]

Yes, on organ not piano.

[@MarcusHK1]

In the score of the Art of the fugue it's not really specified, as the 4 voices are written separately. For that matter it's not even indicated for what instrument it is supposed to be played.

[@EcstasyJesus]

It was actually written for 4 voices. In harpsichords that would equal two harpsichords intended to play this.

[@MarcusHK1]

It seems to me that it is sometimes played on one keyboard. If so how does the performer manage do do that?

[@ejb7969]

Why does the guy keep giving the woman angry looks? It's very distracting and unnecessary.

[@judymoody5438]

A mon humble avis, ça manque un peu de nuances, à l'image de David Fray pianiste français qui se refuse d'interpréter Bach comme une mécanique. C'est dommage, parce que leur technique est irréprochable. Question de goût comme dit David.

[@CleverDjembe]

Sounds beautiful but I hate the fake, jerky movement of the Viet Cong girl. Why do some pianists feel they need to act unnaturally?

[@dagadbm]

gould does it better. with 2 hands only :D
