[@metteholm4833]

Trifonov is doing the right thing! According to J.S.Bach himself, his music is not scholarly - but for the heart. This sounds organic, self grown - freshly sprung from Bachs imagination.

[@lethalgiada]

I'm perfectly agree. Very often the contrapuntal technique is pulsating life, in Bach. I see a very strong metaphor in it, which perhaps is the one captured by this pianist. Each person comes into the world necessarily conditioned by the inheritance of the past of the person who brought him into the world and the context in which he finds himself. There are patterns that are at the same time the conditions of our existence and what binds us into a feeling of anguish. The variation, the counterpoint are metaphors of the soul that with difficulty, through its bonds, tries to build a self beyond itself to reach authenticity. A man like Bach, a son of his time, interprets in the search for God this realization of a soul that is necessarily born separated from its creator and that struggles against his limits (sin, for example) to rejoin him. In today's vision of this pianist, perhaps there is no longer a God who ensures a safe haven for the authenticity of human existence, but the sensation that each of us experiences at least once, in feeling evanescent, inauthentic if he does not test himself to go beyond what is taken for granted, beyond the "given song" remains. And I think this author's reinterpretation of Bach's work is enchanting.

This piece is new to me AND it is J.S. Bach. Since I first heard a performance of his “Jesu, joy of man’s desiring” when about twelve years old I was immediately transported into a realm of celestial, gracious beauty the likes I had never experienced. It is an indelible, precious memory that has since grown into an inspirational spark of lyricism when some years ago I composed a verse to that great chorale and sang it at a wedding anniversary celebration. I am moved by every piece I have heard by this great musical genius. PWG

This video is excellent, and the ending, which was composed by Trifonov himself is very well executed. I'm a profesional pianist myself and one thing that always rubs me the wrong way, is the rigidity of the classical music culture. The video is a very creative and personal way of expressing Bach's music, and I like that it has a certain gloom to it that is uncommon when referring to Bach's music, but tells us that not everybody feel's music the same way. Many classical music enthusiasts will get offended when they see their precious Bach being "profanated" by a video like this, which only serves to gatekeep new and original attempts at expressing old music in a new way which is very much needed in this day and age for this new generation.

[@rayevansharrell9773]

I was moved at the practice struggle with the entire Art of the Fugue, the work that Bach, blind and mind humming, is said to have dictated to his son. The wonderful TRIFONOV with his beautiful Fazioli Pianoforte 20th century instrument in a room next to the fire in the hearth, the wall filled with the score to the fugues like a detective examining the record of the event that led to Bach’s final gift to us all. The performer struggles to get into Bach’s mind and find the “Affect” for every note. It leads him to dreams and not to a machine, like the modern Pianoforte but into the organic world of all life and yes to the tree as well, but most of all the resolution to the question Bach posed for us all. Bravo to the artists involved in bringing this heritage of western civilization into the present when it was not so long ago mankind’s political ego and warlike nature bombing the libraries, architecture and paintings that was the legacy of the past to the world. I’m thankful for the shards that are left as we still contemplate war for fun and personal profit. Ray Evans Harrell,

[@producaoosmusicosdotejo2373]

8:41 is Trifonov's part. The playing is very good I, really think, but I disagree that it's "a seamless, stylistically respectful conclusion worthy of Bach’s genius", it's simply a small addition to just conclude the work, with "not stylistically respectful" octaves on the left hand, for example. If it were to really develop what Bach has set out with his materials, I would imagine that he would still go a long way, a long path of combinatory development, since Bach never shies away from profound and exaustive "florescence" of all the seeds he plants in a way that still amazes us. I appreciate the tree metaphor, but promotional talk should not get too excited, sometimes. Pianists like Trifonov are great players/musicians, but the distance to musicians of the past that could not only play, but compose and improvise is huge. This to show that some current adulation sould be put in context and moderated.

[@pedterson]

I agree that it isn't a seamless or stylistically consistent conclusion. I don't even think that was Trifonov's intention here. You hear an immediate stylistic and athmospheric shift when his part begins, as if he wanted to make explicit that everything thereafter is but an echo of Bach's piece in the same way that much of music history is an echo of Bach's genius. Personally, I find that more respectful than attempting to imitate Bach.

Bach left this final fugue from The Art of Fugue (BWV 1080) unfinished at his death. Bach’s notation ends at measure 238, after which Trifonov’s completion of the work begins. Beginning in m. 235, Bach spells out his name as a countersubject. German notation includes the letter H in its musical alphabet, making it possible for Bach to ‘write’ his name in the music, which he did in a number of works. Thus: B = _B-flat_ A = _A_ C = _C_ H = _B natural_ One tradition holds that Bach died just after signing his name in music notation. When this last fugue is performed in concert, the artist/s will often let the work taper off as written. It is a very touching moment. Some additionally suggest Bach spelled out his name in the music as a final ‘Musical Offering’ to God before dying. Another tradition maintains that his final work was actually the organ chorale “Vor deinen Thron tret’ ich hiermit” *(Before your throne I now appear) (BWV 668).* The story goes that Bach, after enduring a second operation on his failing eyes, *(possibly diabetes-induced blindness),* was unable to continue work on The Art of Fugue and instead dictated this beautiful organ work from his deathbed. The organ piece was included in the 1st printed edition of The Art of Fugue in 1751. Bach’s music ends, and Trifonov ‘s begins at 8:38 😎🎹

[@kieselsteinchen9795]

Dramatic Moment. Thank you for that Information.

[@jaikee9477]

@Quid Est Veritas Bach researchers came up with lots of adventurous theories as to why he didn't finish the piece. I believe that the simplest explanation is still the best and most convincing explanation. The best evidence we have is what his son wrote down on the final page. After all CPE Bach was a rather principled man. Mozart considered CPE as a role model and father figure. Mozart greatly adored him as a character, so who are we not to trust his words?

[@stephaned.2135]

I am sure that Bach has voluntarily left this piece unfinished i like to think that it was a kind of a challenge that he left to the best of us. Like the Poincaré Conjecture it will take a while before someone find a good solution...:-)

[@sebastianchand8392]

the exact point at which Bach´s manuscript stops is when the three themes of the fugue, appearing for the first time together, end at the same time. it seems calculated, and it also links well with the g major chorale, which itself ends spectacularly by making the last bars a polyphony of only one subject. the annotation of CPE Bach on that page may very well be a request from his father. Old Bach did love riddles, and having his name as last subject and leave the piece unfinished seems to me as a perfect signature after his monumental life´s work

Я понимаю и тех, кто пишет, что музыка Баха намного глубже, чем какое-бы то ни было изображение её в видеоряде. Но, с другой стороны, мне понравилось, как с момента, где началась часть, сочиненная Даниилом, звук как-бы "провалился в сон", и ещё что когда он дописывал ноты в лесу, он рисовал только паузы и дорисовывал палочки, обозначающие длительности к листикам, которые уже были на бумаге, как-бы метафора того, что музыка уже растворена в природе и "берётся, добывается" из неё. В общем, если рассматривать эту работу не как попытку передать музыку средствами кино, а наоборот, как мини-фильм (клип), в котором звучит музыка Баха (звучит же музыка в фильмах, раскрывая нам смысл происходящего на экране глубже), то это интересно.

Nobody cares about John Harrington being convinced. If you want to write your ending, go for it. I just can't stand armchair critics that can't find anything better to do. Who else in the past 300 years ever even Attempted to write an ending for this piece by Bach, let alone Complete one, Record it and make a Video of it for our benefit? So I guess Trifonov is still Way Beyond what You've accomplished in our lifetime!

[@fiandrhi]

@@kevindavidson6242 numerous people have completed this fugue. The fact that you're unaware of that reveals your complete ignorance. I'm as entitled to my opinion as anyone else is. I don't make my career in music, so of course I wouldn't attempt a completion of this fugue, however, if I did, I would make sure that it was as close to Bach as to be indistinguishable from Bach before I published it or performed it. Anyting else is merely an exercise in ego. As to ego, the ridiculous histrionics in this video speak for themselves. Finally, if I did perform it, I would brace myself for criticism. If I couldn't take criticism, I wouldn't perform it.

[@LegalmenteParlando]

@@kevindavidson6242 So you don't know of other attempts to complete this fugue? 🙄

[@vaadwilsla858]

Wasn't it likely intended to be the only 4-part fugue in the set? The piece would have concluded with the 3 subjects of XIV finally combined with the main subject of the Kunst der Fuge. I don't know if Trifonov's ending achieves this, you'd have to listen extremely carefully with the sheets in front of you. But I definitely heard the main subject being introduced at some point. In any case, being able to convincingly complete this composition is a stellar feat in and of itself! Have a good day!

[@draganilicveljko]

@@vaadwilsla858 absolutely wright! you need to follow carefully music sheet in front of you and analyse subject and counterpoint, but in slow mode as possible.

Deutsche Grammophon is the best classical music label, Trifonov is the most outstanding pianist of our time. I appreciate his capacity to adapt and put himself in new artistic/ "cinematographic" situations, it is an added proof that he is special and unique. Except for that, no one notices that it is a musical video without any add, for the reason that it IS an add: Deutsche Grammophon is auto promoting its new product (Trifonov's cd) and more simply they chose to not cut the music and spread a two minutes video, that would have sponsored the CD but also killed the music. We shouldn't take for granted such things like sitting on the sofa and listening to one of the best musicians of our time playing a masterpiece three hundred years old, for free. Thanks Deutsche Grammophon, thanks Daniil; now, you critics, go and buy a CD, or better, a ticket!!

I have the utmost respect for Trifonov in opting to dedicate so much time and effort to The Art of Fugue. His interpretations often stand with Sokolov's, Gould's, and Zhu xiao Mei's. I particularly love how he sheds new light on the contrapuncti 8 and 11 with his carefully placed rubati and demonic drive. However, I find the existence of this video utterly flabergasting: if someone didn't already appreciate (or wasn't already capable of appreciating) THE ART OF FUGUE, would this jumpy dream sequence in which the director chose to cut every 2 seconds help them in doing so? Conversely, if someone already did appreciate the music, does this add anything at all to the experience? Why is the accompanying video to one of the most profound pieces ever written as _about_ the process of the performer's learning it as possible? Can you for a moment see Richter, Gould, Zhu Xiao Mei, Sokolov etc or many other great artists agreeing to such a video and putting _themselves_ center stage in one of their performances? Would not a simple video of the performance have sufficed? Like I say, I have the utmost respect for Trifonov but simply cannot understand what this video is supposed to add, or why it exists.

[@SergieRachmaninoff]

It's almost as if different people enjoy different things? Perhaps the video and the atmosphere it portrays could resonate with someone not currently 'into' classical music. Or perhaps some people just enjoy music videos? You're able to purchase and listen to this CD without any distractions, so why is it such an issue that it's available in another form here, that is both free, and optional to view? I'm not one for music videos, but your comment just screams narrow minded elitism and being completely out of touch.

[@PUREATMOS]

I usually don't like it when pianists constantly play out the fugue subject while keeping the other lines hidden in the background. However here it has the effect of a chorale theme soaring over the other parts which I think works perfectly for this piece.

[@saidtoshimaru1832]

[@허준서-n3z]

some of classical music supporters don't agree this musicvideo-like stuff. It is reasonable that they think those scenes are distracting our consciousness from music. However, DG is providing pure music and we have opportunity to choose. Also this movie might be unnecessary for music but in the point of this movie the Bach music is essential. So the point is, we should see this video as a short firm that inspired by Bach. Not a representation of Bach music itself. It is honorable and understanable that people of other areas inspired by great pieces. As we are moved by those pieces. In the realm that not harming (modifying etc.) music, we should welcome the products that including classical music. It is good for both. P.s in my personal think it is fun to observing trifonov's acting... I can definetely say he is better actor than D. Garett...

Daniil Trifonov has told about his search for Fibonacci numbers in Bachs music - as they are a principle in nature. That is what makes Bachs music so organic - so like growing organisms.

Maravilloso video. Maravillosa interpretación. Una pena que en KZbin, a los pocos minutos de música, éste video fue interrumpido por una ruidosa propaganda. No sé si la propaganda es aleatoria, pero es un crimen interrumpir una música que transporta, con un reclame indeseable y totalmente inapropiado. Daniil Trifonof un genio.
