This is the genius of Bach, in that...his music can be played on most anything...that if done well...can sound mighty fine, though I am partial to the clarinet...Thank You!!...
Late reply: totally right you are. Bass clarinet power for sure! I would find people to play this with, but the clarinets at my high school can hardly play half notes...makes one wonder how my school is marching band state champs 🤨
Your videos are great and I would like to repost your channel exactly on a nice platform named Gan Jing World. If this sounds interesting to you, please respond to me. Many thanks!
Toms Cruz www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ihw/Clarinet_music/Quartets/Bach%20Little%20Fugue%20BWV%20578%20Clarinet%204tet.pdf very helpful sorry this a year late 🤣
Bach being a Baroque composer, as far as I know, never wrote for the clarinet. Unlike the bassoon, oboe and flute, the clarinet as a standard orchestral instrument didn't occur until Mozart's time. Nevertheless that shouldn't get clarinetists from performing Bach because his music sounds good no matter what the timbre.
So what? It's an arrangement, not a performance. If every unknown composer had access to four music college graduates then there'd be no need for Sibelius. Turns out it doesn't work that way.
I wholeheartedly agree, and Sibelius has decent sounds as well! But to be fair, Bach is not just an "unknown composer", surely there is a clarinet quartet somewhere willing to perform this. Besides, it's a beautiful fugue.
Juan Pablo Corredor The first time I heard this fugue was when I ran a four-part arrangement coded in Atari BASIC for the Atari 800. Even then it sounded great!
This video needs to be relabeled with the correct instrument(s) playing the piece so it does not deceive the listening into thinking it is actually clarinets. At first I couldn't figure out why the top line was not slurring when directed by the music. The trill was the give-away, though. What is this? Some kind of music synthesizer? I play the clarinet and love the nuances of the sound it makes. That is missing here.
Really not a fan of splitting the voices mid phrase like this arrangement does between clarinet 1 and 3. Sounds good when its played by your computer but makes no musical sense and isnt a technical challenge either. No reason to do it
Around 2min is one example where cl 1&3 both have a C and the first clarinet doesnt get to finish the phrase and instead gets the next phrase (which should be voice 3)

Hello!
How can I get this score? Your website is not working now.
Is there a correct link to this? Other comments have asked the same but are replied with a link that doesn’t work.
Yes
@IndigioMusicBox Would it be possible to buy or get the sheet music and score for this from you?
I wish i had the money to buy this :/
Really late, but if you go on musescore and type in little fugue clarinet quartet you can find a really good piece and print it out
Natalie Alfera bruh

Good performance overall, but somewhat rushed and your bass clarinettist needs to pay more attention to reading their part correctly.
not clarinets ! electronic music

MIDI clarinet sound, there's no deception happening

This sounds like shostakovich's 2nd waltz, is it just me?
Really just you hahah
Where's can I find the sheet music for this?
