I think we know a lot about Bach as a person; one thing that wasn't mentioned in this video (which, respectfully, should have been mentioned) was Bach's deep religious conviction. He was a devout Lutheran Christian and commended his music to God. That is why so much of his music is filled with a deep spirituality. And although Baroque music wasn't as emotionally raw as Romantic music, you can hear profound and controlled emotion in many of Bach's seminal pieces: his Chaconne (from Partita No.2 in D minor for violin) is widely considered one of the greatest pieces for solo violin, and was composed shortly after Bach learned of the death of Maria Barbara Bach. So we actually have quite a complex man-- yes, temperamental, strong-willed and stubborn. He was also a delinquent in his youth and was known to get into fights. However, he was deeply devoted to Lutheran Christianity, devoted to his music, a strict and attentive father, and a man affected by loss throughout his life: he lost both his parents, his siblings, his first wife and 10 of his 20 children. That's a lot of grief, which he channelled into his music.

Skipping through all the details, Bach was innovative in 2 ways: the first was the idea of Well-Tempered Clavier or well-tuned keyboard. Keyboard tuners tended to do a good job on the natural keys but not the sharps & flats. Keyboard used to be painted the other way around with the 7 natural keys as black and 5 sharps/flats as white. He intentionally wrote 1 piece for every music key to make the point every key on the keyboard needs to be properly tuned. The other is putting the keyboard as a solo instrument in a concerto. Before him, there was a lot of Concerto Grossos out of Italy featuring more than 1 solo instruments. Vivaldi wrote many concertos featuring 1 instrument but the keyboard was usually in the background to accompany the ensemble (as continuo). The 1 piece that stands out was the Brandenburg Concerto #5 in the first movement there is a keyboard solo cadenza near the end where the keyboard would perform an entire section of music without accompaniment. Solo cadenzas became common with later composers like Mozart but not at all during the Baroque. The 1 type of composition that is much more synonymous with Bach than any other composer is the fugue. These are compositions with several similar melodies coming in and out at different times to form interesting harmonies. They were mainly performed on an organ but many have been transcribed as orchestral pieces with different instruments playing different parts. Dmitri Shostakovich was inspired by Bach and composed fugues. Bach's music was hidden away in the attic somewhere in Germany for many years. In the 19th century he was rediscovered by Felix Mendelssohn in the 19th century. The 1 piece that inspired Mendelssohn was the St. Matthew Passion when he wrote the Italian Symphony.

@Musicienne-DAB19956 жыл бұрын
Great information. However, Mendelssohn did not rediscover Bach. The Cantor of Leipzig's music was known after his death, but only to music connoisseurs. Before Mendelssohn, composers such as Mozart and Beethoven admired and played Bach's music regularly. Beethoven played the Well-Tempered Clavier daily and mentioned Bach's brilliance frequently. Indeed, Mendelssohn himself found Bach through his own relatives, who attended a Bach society, which gave him the idea to perform a heavily-redacted version of the St Matthew Passion, which spearheaded a revival of his music.

Bach was born 4 years after the term "Well Tempered" first appeared in print regarding the new tunning system allowing for all 12 musical keys on the keyboard to be playable without retuning. Like today!NOW this fact is important because that "new" availability of all those pesky subversive notes outside the key provided the basis for the next 300 yrs of musical evolution which absolutely could not have taken place otherwise. Bach's great genius is demonstrated by the fact that he is the "only" Baroque Composer to appreciate and fully embrace this new astounding universe of chromatic possibilities. Not Vivaldi not Handle not Correlli not Telleman etc. Bach entitled one of his towering compendiums of compositional genius The Well Tempered Clavier Books l & ll knowing full well what he was doing. 48 preludes and fugues in all 12 keys both major and minor. Each piece an exploration of harmonic and polymelodic possibility in itself. Some of these pieces establish certain kinds of advanced uses of harmony not to be revisited untill the late 19th century. Check out WTC ll #22 in Bb minor Gould calls it a harmonic masterpiece. But there are many more for various reasons. So Bach set the stage for the rest of Western European Art Music. So that the next 250 yrs could accuratly be discribed as a ,composer driven high speed power dive into higher and higher levels of chromaticism eventually generating the 20th century crisis in tonality leading to the modernism of Schoenberg and alternatively Stravinsky. So it was Bach who let the Chromatic cat outa the bag so to speak. If I wet your whistle and you want to pursue this subject further then Type in (The Unanswered Question by Leonard Bernstein lecture one Phonology there are 6 1973 lectures all orbiting these ideas) all free on You Tube on various channels.

Interestingly, while Bach was deeply revered as a composerby other composers and connaiseurs early on, during his life time he was mostly known for his organ performances. Looks like then and now, it took some time to get a knack for his polyphonic weave. As I was younger, this weave sounded to me mostly like a more or less uniform texture - while other composers of his time, like Haendel, had more rhythmic diversity to offer. But at some point, I clicked into his intricate interaction between melody lines and fell in love with his music completely ever since.

I love your videos! The details about Bach's personality were fascinating. "Upon the whole it appears, that great talents are great energies, and that great energies cannot flow but from a powerful sense of fitness and justice. A man of uncommon genius, is a man of high passions and lofty design; and our passions will be found, in the last analysis, to have their surest foundation in a sentiment of justice. If a man be of an aspiring and ambitious temper, it is because at present he finds himself out of his place, and wishes to be in it. Even the lover imagines, that his qualities, or his passion, give him a title superior to that of other men. If I accumulate wealth, it is because I think that the most rational plan of life cannot be secured without it; and, if I dedicate my energies to sensual pleasures, it is that I regard other pursuits as irrational and visionary. All our passions would die in the moment they were conceived, were it not for this reinforcement. A man of quick resentment, of strong feelings, and who pertinaciously resists everything that he regards as an unjust assumption, may be considered as having in him the seeds of eminence. Nor is it easily to be conceived, that such a man should not proceed, from a sense of justice, to some degree of benevolence; as Milton's hero felt real compassion and sympathy for his partners in misfortune." William Godwin

He had two operations on his eyes for cataracts; the second because the first had not been successful. It appears that the surgeon might not have been a quack, but that the medications that Bach took afterwards caused him harm. For a period of around 10 days, he did recover his sight, but became completely blind shortly before he died. In the days where surgeries were not performed in sterile environments, and considering the fact that Bach's health had already deteriorated very quickly during 1749, it is not surprising that these operations caused such damage.
