I'm here just to say a humble Thank You for your fantastic work. Bach is the greatest of all the composers and his unmatched musical achivments must be known by anyone. I'm shure that your work will gather in short time a great number of people. BRAVO!!! Please, go on!!
It is I who have to thank you for your moving comment. Really, I'm deeply moved by it. As I've said to others, it's exactly comments like yours that give me the courage to continue. I've never expected my series to become a big success, but it's a story that I wanted to share with the World and perhaps to make Bach more accessible and more fun for young and old. With your comment, I feel that I have achieved everything I wanted. Thank you.
And so it happened, give or take! Bach's godly and quite real humility versus Marchand's braggadocio and poorer musicianship--not to mention the abusiveness of Versailles itself. How many times I've wished that Handel had consented even once to meet Bach! That coda is a nice touch--and the fugue notation bit is just right, not too didactic, not too weak, but spot on. But Bach, by all accounts, really was that humble. Thank you again!
Wonderful episode! I love how much detail you put into even your minor characters, such as the Embassador. Only a few seconds, but he has an obvious history of clever maneuvering as well as suffering.
Thank you! Obviously I can't put in as much detail as I'd like. The movement of the lips is automatic, the drawings are too sketchy and even rudimentary at times, but otherwise it would take me years to finish an episode. Thank you for appreciating my work!
At 5:30, what was the symbolism of the lightning flash illuminating the back of the crucifix? It seems Sebastian must be heading for divine retribution? Perhaps he hasn't attained the humility that he wants to think he has?
That's exactly what I intended. Bach must have had a troubled relationship with his faith. On the one hand he was extremely devout, as his upbringing and his environment would expect of him. But on the other he had a lot of suffering in his life and at a certain point he even stopped writing religious music altogether, even though it was his main duty in Leipzig. So I'd like to portray an ordinary man, with his weaknesses and even a bit of arrogance e.g. when he wants to defend his friend, and who therefore ends up in conflict with his faith. According to me, but that's personal and we actually know only very little about Bach's personality, this would be closer to the truth than depicting Bach as the perfect man with a perfect faith.
BRAVO! BRAVO! Meanwhile it has become hard to decide which sub perfection is the most perfect of all perfect criteria. As the level of quality remains the same, episode after episode. So, every discipline gets an A grade - if we still were in school - however in this 11th episode I like the thunder storm sequences most. Sound and film. Already outdoor they are cool, but indoor it’s even better. A masterpiece as an episode in a masterpiece as a whole. Plus, you are right … I wouldn’t have watched the very end of the video after the producer’s info! Thanks for the hint! Good job, Peter, actually a top job Best
Thank you very much!!! Yes, this episode has taken far more work than the others, but I wanted to tell this particular story right (although I have put it a few years earlier in Bach's life in order to make the transition smoother with what'll follow). All my best wishes to Renate and you too!!! :-)
Thank you very much for the lovely comments... they mean so much to me. 😊 The piece you were asking about is Bach's prelude/fantasia in A minor BWV922.
Is there a link to the recording of the piece Bach is playing when Marchand overhears him and panics? Even just the name or BWV number would be appreciated.
It's Bach's Fantasia in A minor BWV922. The recording was made by me and it's not available online, but here's a much better performance of the work: th-cam.com/video/jtkERQx7GGk/w-d-xo.html
So creative and educational. Very worthy of its extraordinary subject. Thank you.
That's a wonderful compliment. Thank you very much! 😊

Speaking of the Frenchies, Couperin wrote some wonderful stuff

Thank you! It's always a risk portraying someone about whom we actually know very little, apart from his music and whereabouts. :-)
"C,D,E,F and so on..." :) Another excellent episode, thank you!
Hahaha! Thank you! 😆
Bach shouldn't have demonstrated before the duel. But it turned out well anyway. This series itself is a beautiful work of art.
The story was really that Marchand heard Bach practise before the contest and that he got so scared that he fled head over heels back to France. 😊
I love your incredible work! Please continue!
Well, I promise you I will. It's exactly the incredible comments such as yours that keep me motivated. Grazie mille!!!
@@BachTheAnimatedSeries Di nulla!
Bach loved the leading seventh : ) diminished august
Your artwork is amazing!
Thank you! A comment like this from a fellow animator means a lot to me. :-)
@@BachTheAnimatedSeries You are definitely very talented!
@@jlanimationstudios1082 Talented I don't know... I'm just a small amateur... but it's a story I'd like to tell so very much. Thank you!!!
@@BachTheAnimatedSeries So are we, and us small time animators need to stick together. We were very impressed!
@@jlanimationstudios1082 I've subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see more! :-)

How did I not know about this??? ❤️

I like the style of animation. Well done!

Great episode
Thank you very much! 😊
Cool ❤️❤️❤️
Many thanks!!! :-)
What piece at 9:25 ? Also thank you for this series, I'm really enjoying it!
Thank you very much for the lovely comments... they mean so much to me. 😊 The piece you were asking about is Bach's prelude/fantasia in A minor BWV922.
@@BachTheAnimatedSeries thanks again!
Fantastic as always ! Could someone tell me what piece Marchand is playing at 2.30 please ?
Thank you very much! 😊 It's a piece from Louis Marchand himself... his Rondeau in D minor. Cheers!
Even in that first fugue there is always the dance with God.
Thank you for your comments, Neil... it's great to hear that at least someone watches all of my animations to the end and even likes them! :-)

1685: Scarlatti, Händel, Bach.
A magical year. 😊
Handel aveva ragione nei riguardi di Johann Sebastian Bach.
Sì, sarebbe stata una bella sconfitta per lui. 😊
J S. Bach " caro" Marchand non era posseduto da Satana ma era posseduto da Dio.
@@emanuelecicchino7256 Hahaha, vero! 😆
