I love how Bach breaks the rules with this too. The fugue: he adds notes into the percussive accompanying chords that immediately take it away from pure counterpoint. Music is greater than the rules and Bach, famous for his musical respect of form, again shows his unbelievable status.

I play or study Bach almost every day and he breaks the rules continously. God bless him! I like very much this fugue/tarantella, it's a great idea making a very complex piece from a folk dance.

I'm surprised by how often Bach uses dissonance against the rules of counterpoint. In his invention in D minor, he uses a tritone followed by a Major 2nd.

This piece, this bloody piece. What am I even supposed to say? I have listened to this almost every day for over a year, sometimes listening to the fugue for over an hour on repeat. I am completely infatuated by it. Look at that subtle glance Richter gives whilst he shreds the chords, oh my God the tasteful thickness of it, it sounds like a steam train descending down into the depths of a Jovian metallic rainstorm, although it is merely a keyboard, I can somehow hear the grinding and the churning of the mechanisms, and the coal being shoveled into the furnace, as soot and steam engulfs the room and mixes with the sweat on the end of my chin, and when Richter moves towards the finale, relief washes over me in an awesome way, as cool, smooth, liquid gold is poured onto my scalp and trickles down my spine, where it finally forms a pool, and leaves me in a state of complete contentment.

Esta fuga monstruosa y la Giga de la Suite No. 6 in D minor, BWV 811 son dos enormes transgresiones al Barroco, de un valor incalculable para todo lo que vino después. Es como escuchar a muchos compositores al mismo tiempo, así de enorme era el dios Johann Sebastian Bach, el más grande de todos los tiempos.
@MichaelCWBell5 жыл бұрын
Of course we know the fugue is the highlight of this piece. What marks Bach the summative foundation of Western music is that he paved the way for its entrance. He prepares us for its entrance. It’s about understanding rhetoric, communication. An architect. Always there is context and structure to well- informed ideas.

Back again for this. Back again for that fugue. Back again for my fix. I think it must be my favourite fugue subject in all Bach. Ascending 4ths up to the minor 6th, and then with an unmerciful pull back down to the tonic... tonic... tonic. And then the prodigal fiasco that follows. It’s a strange thing that the best of Art misses the attention of most people.

@AlessandroSistiMusic4 жыл бұрын
@@moe5201 Neither. André Gonçalves is saying that this work is known as the "Toccata in G minor". Bach's early harpsichord toccatas were free-form works with multiple sections, usually (always?) ending with a fugue, as in the case here. There are other works where a toccata is formally divided from a fugue in the sheet music and the fugue is titled separately, but you won't find that in BWV 915.
