St John Passion: 34-35. Zerfließe, mein Herze, in Fluten der Zähren (piano transcription)
มุมมอง 5697 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
The tremolo and descending scale from the previous movement are elaborated in the Arioso, which ends on a dominant chord. This leads into the Aria that in some ways is similar to Erbarme dich from the St Matthew Passion, especially the melodic skeleton and chord progression at the beginning. The turn-like 32nd notes can be seen as a derivation of the 16th notes in the opening chorus. My figured...

Although this piece is mostly in two voices, it is truly a litmus test on the keyboardist's finger evenness. For me Hanon Nos. 1-20 in all major keys were immensely helpful, and I highly recommend at least No. 1 in all black keys to those of you who want to learn this piece. (Disclaimer: I am not a piano teacher - please consult with your own for personalized technical guidance.) The dotted rhy...

Most of the pieces in Book 2 are not related to their counterpart in Book 1, but here we have an exception: the theme of the Prelude from Book 1 is turned into a countermelody in this trio. The lyrical and melancholic nature reminds me of an ancient poem by Li Yu 李煜 (937-978): 問君能有幾多愁?恰似一江春水向東流。 which I loosely translate as "My sorrow is like a river in spring, ever flowing toward the east."

The two treble voices, with their syncopation and imitation, remind me of the two oboes in the opening chorus and the first aria of the St John Passion. *Prelude in B minor, BWV 869 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)* Piano: Ruoshi Sun (2024) on CLP-785 Temperament: Werckmeister

The closing chorus shares many similar features with that of the St Matthew Passion: both have a meter of 3/4, a rondo form, a somber atmosphere, descending arpeggios, and are in the same key of C minor. The difference is that here it is followed by a hymn in the relative major. For this movement I did not differentiate between the vocal and instrumental parts using colors or font sizes. The te...

Actus Tragicus, BWV 106: 2d. Es ist der alte Bund (piano transcription)
มุมมอง 718หลายเดือนก่อน
A very unusual structure that alternates between a fugue, sung by the choir, and a soloist. If the fugal subject sounds familiar, that's because it's basically the Fugue in G minor from WTC 1. The ending is also very unusual in Bach's corpus, fading away into an unaccompanied Picardy third, as if the soloist breathed her last, in accordance with the "old Law" that "everyone shall perish." The s...

The most angular and intellectual fugue in the entire WTC. The subject itself is _almost_ symmetric - its retrograde is largely the same as its inversion. The stretto unexpectedly works with an offset of one beat within a triple meter, against the subject (bb.27, 33, 67, 73) and its inversion (b.80ff), and also when both are doubled by thirds/sixths (b.96). The middle section of the subject wit...

Book 2 opens with a stately prelude, full of surprising harmonies and finger pedaling. After a highly chromatic and harmonically unusual sequence in bb.18-19, around the golden ratio the music returns to the first section but shifted by half a bar. I commend the choice of this piece for the Voyager Golden Records, as it signifies Bach's exploration of the musical universe and his revelation to ...

Two brisk and cheerful dances to conclude the Suite. (The movement number is different in the score because they put the Menuet at the end. In the Henle edition and most performances it is before the Bourrée.)

In the centerpiece of the Well Tempered Clavier Book 1, Bach breathes new life into the cantus firmus by exploring a highly chromatic fugal subject. This leads to some of the most original harmonic progressions I've ever heard from this period. *Fugue in F minor, BWV 857 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)* Piano: Ruoshi Sun (2024) on CLP-785 Temperament: Werckmeister

is Beethoven sonata 29 based on this?
Amazing.
Extraordinario. ¿Podemos conseguir la partitura de este arreglo?
Thank you for your interest! I can make movements 33-35 available on my Patreon for $3. Would you be interested?
You can hear how Bach got some of his ideas for the C Minor Passacaglia from since he admired Buxtehude.

Thank you. It's so beautiful compared to the Busoni torrents.
Loved it!! Thanks!! Special thanks for the score!!
This is really phenomenal and such a pleasure to listen to.
Remarkable cadence.
Gorgeous. Thank you!
Отличное чувство ритма, прекрасные 32-ноты. Невероятно красиво и море полифонии. Очень понравилось, спасибо Руоши.
Good job Ruoshi! Thanks.

This is superb

Wonderful Performance ❤ i enjoy This piece / See you soon 🎹❤❤🎉
A seemingly easy piece, But in truth it needs very good control and independency on all 10 fingers. You performed this piece brilliantely!! Keep it up😊
虽然不知道具体的写作时期,但是还记得这一首第一次让我认同“第二卷比第一卷更成熟”的说法,第二卷中例如c# 和这首真的让人忘记这其实是三部创意曲,如此流畅……很孤独的曲子……话说什么时候弹第二卷的升c小调前奏曲呀:D
很遺憾我的平均律之旅有可能今年底會暫時告一段落⋯⋯如果到了明年一月還沒錄成,那就不知道要等到甚麼時候了。儘量吧!
Good evening Ruoshi さん。You have always passionate about music. How is your fingers ? :) It’s getting cold day by day. Take good care of your fingers. Have a lovely weekend dear Ruoshi さん :) ♪
Thank you Mayumi! My fingers are fine. Enjoy your weekend too!
I find it very interesting seeing how Bach revisits the idea of a WTC 20 years later, and how his preludes often get more complex. Both books are masterworks but you can see a change in Bach's compositions as he ages. Comparing the opening C major preludes is maybe the most obvious way of seeing this difference, but you can see it in B-flat minor as well. I think you can also see him evolving through comparing St. John's Passion and the Matthew Passion. In the Matthew Passion, Bach adds these halo effect-like strings any time Jesus speaks. It's like he is always finding some new meaningful way to compose and improve as he ages. Very well played!
Как Течение реки, в которой отражаются облака, невероятно красиво. Спасибо Руоши.
one of my favorites by Bach
Bellissima trascrizione.

Where can i find the sheet?
Thank you for your interest! I originally hoped to release my complete transcription of the Passion once and for all, but it's been taking a long time and I have received requests for specific movements from enthusiasts in the meantime, so early releases of specific movements can be found on my Patreon. (Part 1 is complete.) I'll be happy to put this score on my Patreon too, but note the minimum list price is $3. I can bundle #38 (recitative) and #40 (the final hymn) as well. Just let me know and I'll be happy to set it up.
@ would be really nice
It's available now at: www.patreon.com/RuoshiSun/shop/st-john-passion-movements-38-40-piano-624964 Thank you for your support!
I would listen to this version for hours, thank you for your great work!
Good job, Ruoshi.
Thank you for your arrangement and interpretation of this phenomenal chorale from Bach’s Johannespassion. Technically very demanding! Sorrow and sadness speak from every note. On this All Soul’s Day, to all who have passed away: Ruht wohl.
Didn't realize that - how befitting!
Чистая скорбь. Баховский минор просто разрывает на молекулы всю вселенную. Браво Руоши и спасибо.
Thank you Volodia. Unlike the St Matthew Passion, here the text reads "I shall weep for you no more," but the heartbreak is all the more so.
Increíble muchas felicidades
I looooooove your taste in transcribing. And of course needless to say what a nice performance..gorgeous to the core. You made my day
And so did your comment; thank you! I uploaded my transcription of "Ruht wohl" from the St John Passion yesterday. It is another major work that I've spent quite some time on.
What a powerful piece, so wonderfully arranged and performed!✨✨✨
Exquisite!
Fun fact: Materia Primoris roughly translates to First Matter. Very good name for the theme if I do say so myself.
Beautiful 😭🙏
I am also absolutely fascinated by this. Great, great transcription and very good piano playing. I would love if an elite pianist would perform this.
