Curious about all forms of music, Bach did not merely seek to acquaint himself with them. He wanted to understand, to penetrate the thought behind them, making copies, and even transcriptions of Vivaldi, Couperin, Handel, Telemann, Frescobaldi, Pergolesi and many others; there are numerous examples, all more or less well-known.
Less well-known is the adaptation he made of a work by Reincken. While still a young man studying at the Lüneburg Gymnasium, "[Bach] would sometimes go to Hamburg to listen to the then celebrated organist, Johann Adam Reincken, in the church of Saint Catherine" if we are to believe his second son, Carl Philipp Emanuel. The music of the Great Man of Hamburg was thus an early focus for the young musician's admiration, and it was no doubt during this period that he came to know Reincken's "Hortus musicus" (Musical Garden), published in 1687. This was a group of six sonatas in four parts, for two violins, viola and basso continuo.
Bach appreciated them sufficiently to have made copies and then transcriptions for solo harpsichord of two of them and a fugue of a third. But as was his wont, in reducing the instrumentation to a single harpsichord, he also enriched his model, adding here a new voice, there new developments, and a level of overall ornamentation lacking in the original: re-creations in the purest sense of the word.
This attitude was characteristic of him, as can be seen in the adaptation of the first sonata in the collection, making it his A minor sonata (BWV 965) with its considerably amplified fugue and gigue, compensating with density what the work lost in diversity of colour.
At any rate, this is a fantastic performance by Sokolov, who always seems to be able to communicate all the many layers in Bach's work. - เพลง

JS Bach was, without doubt the greatest composer who ever lived. Thank you for this rendition.
But it was actually Reincken who composed this
@@tarikeld11 you're completely missing Bach's genius in this work
Can you even begin to appreciate and imagine such a mind as Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven or Brahms? As a choirmaster and organist, violinist, violist, teacher and composer myself, I often have wondered if anyone sitting in any of the great and small churches I have played in, even appreciated me for example. The vast major of people just have nooooo idea as to what it takes to not only perform on this level weekly AND to compose; creating works like this week after week. Each composition and its performance a miracle of the human mind and spirit AND all in homage to GOD!
YES!!!
Yes, there's something about the god idea that seems very important in the work of Bach. Mind you, that's not the case for every composer, but with Bach it just fits.
Bach is SUCH a genius in the way he arranged this. Don't forget how much he learned from and admired his contemporaries like Jan Reincken, Dieterich Buxtehude, and François Coupérin.
Don't forget Vivaldi although. Bach took everything from Italian, French and North Germany styles and made the perfect synthesis in his art.
@@ThibautKurt23 Oh yes, Vivaldi had an enormous influence on Bach's openings, his characteristic themes, and display of violin virtuosity.
Having listened to JS Bach's complete works (160+ CDs), when I heard the Vivaldi influenced works it felt as though Bach had already far surpassed him in contrapuntal sophistication. I recall his employer asked him to investigate the fashionable Vivaldi's work. I would suggest any influence was limited compared to that of his first fascination - the North German and Dutch organists.
@@gustinian I agree that Bach surpassed Vivaldi in contrapuntal sophistication. However, I think the Italian influence on his work is substantial, and not limited to Vivaldi. Other composers from that country said to have influenced him greatly include Corelli, Albinoni, Frescobaldi, and Palestrina. Several suites for keyboard would be far poorer if not for the Italian style and themes he used. However, I agree about the substantial influence of North German and Dutch organists, too, which may be far greater.
The fugue is perfect
Another Bach's masterpiece
Never heard this fugue before! Such a rarity for me to encounter a Bach fugue like this unknown to me! What a delight! Thank you! Simply a gorgeous "long-themed" fugue!
This isn't Bach technically.
@@xmvziron I think Bach definitely composed this fugue himself, using source material from Reincken. Other movements, I think he extemporised on Reincken.
The fugue! So Gould like! Wonderful! The voices are so clear! Reinken would probably been amazed! And composed by Bach when he was only 20! Still a teenager!
According to a reported quote from Reincken, the composer was impressed when he met Bach in Lüneburg: "I thought the art was dead, but I see it lives in you." This apparently occurred when Bach improvised on the chorale, „An Wasserflüssen Babylon“. I can't confirm the veracity of this quote, but we do know that Bach studied with Reincken.
I've now seen you on multiple Sokolov videos commenting about Gould. Guess you're also a huge fan of Glenn and in search of his best modern approximation, eh? ;)
@@jernejoblak7633 I met Gould a number of times when I was young. I used to eat at the same late night restaurant, Fran's. Thanks to him, I became a Bach fanatic. Even my car license plate has Bach in it. I visit his grave every year on his birthday. Last time four days ago.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 Yes, it was mentioned in Bach's first biography by Forkel.
Beautiful Sonata. Brings an easy sadness ....
Yeah!- strong stuff..... but I even dream in bachian, if feelings are strong enough.
Thank you, Olla-Vogala for this beautiful sharing. I confess I simply didn't *know* this magnificent and so interesting work.
J.-S. Bach's masterworks really are inexhaustible.
This is merely a transcription. The composer is Reincken.
@@xmvziron I haven't looked at Reincken's original, yet I hesitate to believe this is merely a transcription. It's too keyboard oriented for it to be a simple copypasta.
@@adonisadmirer2752 The fugue is different though.
@@xmvziron Precisely my point. Thanks for clarifying.
@@adonisadmirer2752 Very few of Reincken's works have survived - but the Hortus was one --- it's a collection of six trio sonatas in multiple movements (typically two violins and continuo). You can consider this 'arrangement' as an extension of the original - adding some passages such as episodes to the fugue and embellishments and figurations to the rest. But it is a fairly faithful transcription in many ways. Reincken, who knew Bach, said "I thought my art was dead but I see it lives in you" --- he lived to a very old age!
Thank your for sharing this beautiful work with us.
Wow! That gigue was played as it should, masterful.
Прекрасное исполнение и видение И. С. Баха. Штрих - Чудо! Спасибо! Алекс.

Grigorij Sokolov-zongora
Brilliantly performed!!! Bravissimo!
A beautiful creation
La vida sin música no tiene sentido y con Bach.... Bufff
....staggeringly beautiful.
Id didn't know this marvelous piece! Many thanks olla!
VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! THANK YOU!
Thanks for uploading!
Gloria eterna para el màs vasto y sublime compositor musical de todos los tiempos.
Fantastic!!!
Too much beautiful to me.
Thank you.Thank you
+Mercer Peter You're very welcome! :)
Sokolov performance reminds me the touch of Gould. Simply emotional. And, yes, it's Reincken, but ..... only JSB could have generated a masterpiece out of a good, honest sonata.
The #2/Fuga and the #8/Gigue are at his most exciting heights but the entire suite is worth to be known by all JSB lovers
.... in a way .... jazz mindset of variations over a standard has been invented centuries before ... you are right re Bach's Passacaille .... however even the great Masses built on standard Gregorian songs are also put together using same concept .... FYI I am addicted with minor Baroque composers as well as you seem to be ;-)
This man is not only the best pianist alive. I rank him in the all time top 3
Yes, the fugue in particular. The way Sokolov separates the voices is amazing. So many others use rubato and make it sound terrible. Sokolov knows a Bach fugue like this needs a driving solid beat.
@@PointyTailofSatan Sokolov is brilliant!
Gould-infatuation is especially irritating vis-a-vis Sokolov. Sokolov is in an entirely different class.
Extraordinaire...
¡Genio irrepetible!
Oh maestro Bach!!!!
Bravo
Hermosísima obra y no la conocía
Tampoco yo...pero es de gran categoría! [Saludos de Puerta Aventuras, México]
graciaaaas desde argentinaa!!!
Bach siempre estuvo interesado en la musica de sus contemporaneos, hubiera sido fenomenal que hubiera conocido a D. Scarlatti e intercambiado ideas.
L'adagio sotto le mani di Sokolov è qualcosa che non si può descrivere
I believe I've heard the Reincken melody after which this was modeled on thr Deutsch Kammermusik vor Bach CD.
3:22 - 3:33 this is what i love bach for
some parts sound a lot like bwv 904, i like how all composers and musicians have this pattern thing going on through out between their music.
I would prefer to say that he re-emphasized an idea, but under a different light, and in a different context, with a different emotion, and a different reason. Older, and wiser, returning to the same road, 20 years later, to discover everything has changed, apart from its essence, which is its soul.
@@schoenbaard BWV 965 is 20 years after BWV 904, then? I imagine that means the order is thematic rather than chronological?
totally unknown obscure Bach. Wonderful. I'm going to print off the music and play it. Thanks for the uploading. Sokolov plays it very well.
Yes-- but do give credit also to Jan Reincken, whose "Hortus Musicus" is sampled and improvised in this work.
Wow
Sarabande is so good
I put sokolov in the top 10 pianists ever
Sokolov's interpretation of "The Art of the Fugue" is masterful.
Est-ce ma fête'cesoir enfin dpuis minuit ou une simulation...
C'est Magic. POUR Moi tt CE WASH IT ?
It is still a mystery WHY Bach wrote all this marvellous works. For the cantatas I can understand, it was part of his contract. But all this clavier music wasn't even published, he didn't earn a penny more for all this hard work.
For God. Of course he knew many of his works would never be performed for years if ever at all. He did it out of his own enjoyment surely and out of the belief that some divine entity will hear it as he hears it.
As Bach said, it was to "the glory of God". Furthermore, it was an homage to composers that he admired. Jan Reincken had a huge influence on Bach, who studied with him in Lüneburg.
5:15 reminds me of Chopin's Torrent Etude
:'3
possible inspiration for BWV 542?
It is very different from s Classical Sonata.
4:52
Misprint in the description. Bach was born March 21.
No misprint. The 31/03 date reflects the Western Calendar, and the March 21 date reflects the Julian calendar.
Nicely put. Know thy calendar. @@Musicienne-DAB1995
What the HELL why isn' t this more popular! I thought I knew most of Bach' s best works (I think every single thing Bach wrote is a blessing to the whole of humankind), but I had never heard of BWV 965 until one of my pianists colleagues, who likewise was pleasantly surprised, recommended it to me.
Anyway the Fugue goes hard as fuckkkkk, I' m istantly off to learn it! (not a native english speaker, forgive me if I made mistakes)
The only mistake is saying "one of my pianists colleagues". It is "one of my pianist colleagues". Makes sense your way, but we don't agree plurals in such a manner. It's referring to one pianist (who is one person among your many diverse colleagues). The rest, with your adept use of idiomatic expressions, etc is perfect! The misspelling of instantly is obviously a typo. Hope the Bach goes well and isn't too hard !
