I enjoyed this entire documentary very much. Thank you for uploading it!
Ms. MacGregor makes the point that Bach died before completing this fugue. This is the popular belief, but as Wolff emphasizes in "The Learned Musician", it would have been impossible to compose a quadruple fugue without having first planning the final section where all the subjects are combined. Thus, Bach most likely did indeed finish the fugue, and the final portion has simply been lost rather than not completed.
Thanks a lot SoliDeoGloria8550 for post this greay great video, it made me cry, I don't know you in person but I love you. Thanks again !
Point 2: Bach used the theme BACH in some compositions before that, the point is that was the first time he used as a subject of a fugue. In the video that is said with all words.
Very good documentary, thanks a lot 🙂
Thank god Bach existed!!!
And God may be glad that Bach exists, so there's someone who can show the beauty of his creation in such a wonderful way.
I agree. I have found BACH several times before this final fugue. A good example is in the unfinished fugue BWV 906. The countersubject uses the motive (m. 3-4) although transposed. Also, Contrapuncti 8 and 11 use BACH extensively in all its permutations.
If you listen to his Brandenburg Concerto No.2, you can hear it in the Bass line of the 1st Mvt
Thanks for posting this... Well done... I'd like to recommend Anthony Newman's Brandenburgs. The ornamentation is superb, unlike any others, just a tip.
Such an extended review of Bach's music, yet they barely touched on Bach's absolute mastery of instrumental counterpoint via his instrumental works. No other classical musician could claim to be the undisputed master of his particular form other than Bach, and his mastery of counterpoint. The WTCs, all the organ works, the Musical Offering, etc.
That last Chorus........
Good point, if true. But how do you know Bach didn't have drafts?
Itis known that Bach didn't have drafts of his compositions. Probably he knew how the fugue would finished with the superposition of the 4 subjects ( 3 or 4 subjects? )in the final section. I think he just didn't have time to transmite that from his head to the paper.
if js bach can life another 10 years it will make more magnificient masterpiece.
I am reading the comments I did here 10 years ago and I disagree with all of trem. :) 10 years reading and studying Bach made a lot of improvment that I thought about Bach. The Christof Wolff thesis about why we didnt find the famous quadruple fugue finished is very plausible for me today. He finished the fugue, and because was probably blind in that time he dictated to someone, and that was lost, like a lot of obter Bach’s works were lost across the time.
thank you
I believe she meant that it was the first time B-A-C-H is used in the Art of Fugue.
I think she means that it was the first time B-A-C-H was used as the subject of one of his fugues... i know he had snuck it in other things before but i dont think he ever used it as a subject until then
Anyone else think the woman with the Afro-resembling hair is quite attractive?
BACH GENIO DE GENIOS
Reading the texts about him and because was not found . I don't think that Bach in a fugue to 4 voices would need some draft.
Mozart had also few drafts, but he made some ones, sometimes. Beethoven for example was the oposite: had a lot of drafts. The drafts of the Symphony 9 have 900 pages! , I read once.
Why is Donald Trump playing the trumpet at 1:26?
🤣
It´s very seducer and romantic to say Bach never used the |B A C H theme in a own composition before the famous Last Fugue, but in fact that is not true.
Anyway, B A C H theme is not a tonal theme. I Mean, it doesn't sounds like a tonal motiv. The composer have to have a lot skill to becoming into a tonal one, and more, a tonal subject of a baroque fugue.
Trump? More like Trump-et @7:59
Yeap, TOTALLY
