      @@bargledargle7941 Before hearing this I only really knew Bach through learning his inventions and fugues for piano. I never really got a chance to appreciate his music, and understand what made it so special. This piece in particular spoke to me, since usually Bach is a little bland to me but this piece just seems very harmonically interesting to me.

      I think Bach's inventions and fugues are his best work probably, specifically the fugues but his inventions are incredible. I understand now, you didn't understand something new about Bach but you just found a piece you like by Bach. I was confused earlier because appreciating Bach by this piece is like appreciating a chef by the choice of his shoes.

    It's like bach explored all the musical possibilities that the future would later try. The harmonic pivot at 2:00 is 200 years ahead of it's time. I mean, I guess it isn't since it's right here, but I honestly feel Bach is one of the only composers that I've yet to feel despondent towards someone's unyielding awe of him; cos I agree. He was a visionary that experienced the realm of musical potential with superhuman fidelity that far surpassed the socio-musical zeitgeist of his time. As much as I adore many other composer's piano music, I constantly feel myself unable to find much that surpasses bach's output in terms of continued excellence in compositional pacing and movement.

    • @achenarmyst2156

My time stamp was chosen to prepare the ears and provide some harmonic context, should anyone have read my comment. However, I recognise the choice of timestamp is misleading.

    When I first heard this, on an LP by Peter Katin, I was amazed at how modern it sounded. How could this possibly have been written in the first half of the eighteenth century? I thought perhaps that the pianist was improvising, you know taking cadenza-like liberties because it was a fantasia. Possibly being played on a piano rather than a harpsichord also made it sound modern. But the more I learned about it and realised that every note was composed and all those chromatic harmonies were there in the original, the more amazing and timelessly modern the piece became. A sort of musical virtuosic miracle.

    It is such an amazing composition that it does not seem possible to be by Bach.
    Obviously we must remember what he writes for solo violin or in certain preludes or fantasies for organ, or the portentous and wild toccatas for harpsichord, where the harmonic labyrinths that he manages to navigate are as if they sprouted from a Baroque imagination so personal as to suggest a possible romance. Yes, but which Romanticism? Which composer?
    The chromatic fantasy is a prodigy of harmonic inspiration and timeless melodic sensuality.
    Every time you listen to it you are as impressed as if it were the first time.

    Parts of the last page of the Fantasia sound like a precursor of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde overture (ie. the Tristan chord, eg. 6:05). I believe it was Bertrand Russell who said that 'The history of Western Philosophy is footnotes to Plato'. I wonder whether it cannot also be said that 'the history of Western Music is footnotes to Bach'.

    • @0live0wire0
      @0live0wire0 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      It's just a half diminished - seventh chord built on the seventh degree in major and second in minor. It was pretty common in baroque and classical, and especially in romanticism (Tristan chord). The first chord, diminished seventh is even more common.

      @jackdomanski6758 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      The piece is ultimately centered on D minor, but has a great deal of chromaticism. Heavy usage of chromatic melodies and harmonic twists does not necessarily preclude tonality.

      It's chromatic, not atonal. Chromatic means borrowing notes outside of key, atonal means no key.
