Bach Prelude and Fugue No.9 Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1 with Harmonic Pedal

[@saigemakesmusic]

This was my first Bach Prelude and Fugue I learned and I quickly fell in love with the complexities of these pieces. I’ve decided to learn the entirety of book 1 of the well tempered clavier before I die lol

[@aravindshandilya4650]

this is also the first Bach prelude and fugue I'm learning, and it's so intricately woven and beautiful! I may take up a similar challenge.

[@chrystalzhou8274]

It’s great, isn’t it? So… well-tempered.

[@kooksonboards]

This is my 4th P&F.

[@chp763]

​@@aravindshandilya4650This is not a very suitable prelude and fugue to start with...

1:27 Gmaj7#5, early 18th century. Some say that Bach was one of the first Jazz composers.

I would like to request a tutorial on improving trills with 4 and 5

[@PaulBartonPiano]

To improve trills with fingers 4 and 5, I'd recommend Chopin Etude Op. 10/2. The trill is part and parcel of the articulation of your hand and 10/2 is the most effective study of all to develop the weaker fingers and articulation across the whole hand evenly. Alternately, the chromatic scale with fingers 3,4,5 is also effective. I demonstrate it here: Chopin Etude Op.10 No.2 "I Hour Daily Practice Routine" kzbin.info/www/bejne/maG7opd4gLiGfNE Other than that, in the keyboard music of Bach's time, you start the trill on the beat, on the upper note, and a tip is to add a bit more weight to that upper note, as if you were trying to accent it. Don't over do it of course, but thinking of the upper note as you play tends to make trills sound brighter, have more consistency from start to finish, and unify the trills collectively throughout the given work. Also, if you use sustain pedal in Bach - some do, some don't, (I don't) but if you do, it's best not to pedal the trills. Trills need to be played confidently -- shy, muffled, pedaled trills don't really work in baroque music. In the faster trills, try for as close as you can get to a staccato touch with finger tips, rather than blur the notes together in legato. I hope to return to tutorial-making soon, now my baby daughter is a little older, and have noted your request.

really well done - I get the impression you've had that fugue under your fingers for while.

yes, learning a fugue this well is really time consuming

Interestingly, an abbreviated version of the Prelude was used as Microsoft Office sample music: Vctrn_01.mid on the Publisher disc

[@jackschleich9475]

this was the cute piece I learned after prelude and fugue part 1

[@jackschleich9475]

I have hope after watching all these Paul Barton videos, no matter how hard the music looks, it's really not that hard. I can see how the right and left hands are close most of the time.

Good afternoon, could you give me a theoretical explanation of why you interpret the baroque mordent in that way?

[@MarziaGaggioliOfficial]

Just wonderful!!!!!!!!!

[@mattersofheart22]

killer, as always

[@nylehotaling675]

Zeygunug, which is the Sign of Germany, in proto-Celtic, so similar to Segnung, German... The best tempo, for both the E major Prelude and Fugue, M.M. 50. The rasa or sublime mood-time, second decan of Taurus, called often Material Success. Eunomia, Good Order or Pasture, of the place called Understanding or Love, Hokmah. Bach achieved the level of Saint- Saint of Eunomia, divinity is correct...

Can someone pleas help me how to better listen to left hand melody. I have a Bach pice which has 2 melodys. I can listen to the right hand one but my teacher says that i don't bring out the left hand melody.

[@chrystalzhou8274]

Shadowing is a great technique for this! Just shadow play your right hand melody while playing the left hand ones and gradually, the right hand one will be quieter.

[@Kraken1000]

Short, but very sweet.

[@jasiuk6818]

I admire! Mr. Barton, you're a brilliant pianist. Your videos are great too. I want to play like you !!! :)

[@Nikola5982]

Could you do a tutorial on Chopin`s etude op. 25 no. 1 aka the Aeolian Harp? That would be fantastic!

***** Could you play the 5th sonata of mozart?I am going to do an exam to the conservatory and your performance could help me playing! I am a big fan! Thx for your work, and continue! :)(sorry if there is any mistake,but i am not really god at english '_' )

The cadence to C#m measure 16 of the fugue is a bitch and a half to play. But the following 2 bars are such a relief (ergonomically and harmonically).

One of my favorite pieces, the prelude sounds somewhat otherworldly. It s there s this sacred place where nothing really matters.

[@nylehotaling675]

I think this is very good- it shouldn't be too fast; the best tempo for both Prelude and Fugue, M.M. 52... there might be meaningful numerological associations of 52; Prudence, Growth or Gradual Development; Yenh and Yearning; Hampering, as in the gentle constraint against destructiveness, hate and violence- much damage has been done, a pacifying, healing influence is helpful, etc.... The work is very profound. The rasa or mood, Second Decan of Taurus, called Material Success... The attribution for that old Pisces aeon, very much C'penta Armai'j, called Faith-Devotion, the same as Barbhelon, Mary or Marah; this divinity is no longer there, Viraj is accordingly correct. Eunomia, which means Good Order, or Good Pasture, attribution with Understanding. Everything just right in society; the errors or mistakes of some can influence negatively, generally. The Poetic Value of 52, 10 suggests The Mage...
