Thank you for this, Sophie. It's my favourite analysis video of the piece. I'm a guitar player of 40+ years and play it on electric and classical guitar. You have a new subscriber. Carlo
Hi Amir, yes, the G is a pedal throughout the first four measures and the chords you suggest are correct except for the "VII" chord which is better analyzed as a V chord (even though there is no D notated, it is implied and creates a stronger opening progression).
May i enquire, do you have a slightly "west country accent?" noticing the prononcition of "ay" in words like "find" "identify" ////apologize, but i am in love with the music of non-american english language accents....
I am working on the Bach Suite 6 Prelude and am having a difficult time understanding the intentions Bach had in terms of interpretations. I have listened to dozens of recordings but every single one of them is different. I am very worried as I have an audition for college this coming fall 😅
Hi Richard! The 6th Prelude is so beautiful but yes, very tricky indeed! I hope to have my analysis of the opening up in the next few weeks. Hopefully this will be of help to you. Please also feel free to reach out if you would like to set up a zoom lesson (you can message me through my instagram facebook page). All best wishes as you prepare this amazing piece!
Hi Cassie, I think there are implied elements of all three! Bach's harmony is always a leading force (implied homophony). Of course, the cello is primarily a single line monophonic instrument so that is here too, as well, I think, as the illusion of heterophony (or actual presence of it in a resonant enough space like a big church :)!)... which texture (s) do you hear?
Sophie Webber as I am taking a music class, I am just now learning of the multiple different textures. I thought it was monophonic due to the solo cello played.
@@cassieguzman5145 you are correct in the most literal sense (there is only one voice playing at any one time, with the exception of the final chord). But the other textures are implied (we can HEAR the implied harmonic progressions, polyphonic implication of more than one voice, quasi-heterophonic blurring in the cascading scales etc), and it is this which makes this music so extraordinary for a single-line instrument.
Cool analysis. I wish you have done the whole Harmonic analysis
Very Cool. A Great Piece of Music.

Thank you, Eyüp!

Hello, thanks a lot for sharing ... Can we say the G note in the first four measure is pedal? so , I, IV, VII, I?
Hi Amir, yes, the G is a pedal throughout the first four measures and the chords you suggest are correct except for the "VII" chord which is better analyzed as a V chord (even though there is no D notated, it is implied and creates a stronger opening progression).
Thanks 😊

What musical texture (homophony/ imitative polyphony/ free polyphony) is heard from The Prelude from Cello Suite no. 1?
