Bach/Stokowski - Little Fugue in G Minor, BWV 578 (1707)

Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 - 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the late Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Cello Suites and Brandenburg Concertos; keyboard works such as the Goldberg Variations, The Well-Tempered Clavier and the Toccata and Fugue in D minor; and vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival, he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music.

I've been punched in the face in my life and none of them hit me as hard as that last entry of the bass voice.

[@Bassocontinued]

Awww I’m sorry you’ve been punched in the face before… 😢

Also horns and treble instruments' syncopes preparing that entry... everything perfect 🥶

[@adonisadmirer2752]

I think *that* a minor organ fugue would be great for an orchestra transcription.

[@bassoonmaster]

Where can you order sheet music of this transcription? Thanks.

[@bartjebartmans]

You can download the sheet music for free from the IMSLP Petrucci library site.

[@bassoonmaster]

I couldn't find Stokowski's transcription there.

[@bartjebartmans]

Oh the transcription. Try this: stokowski.tripod.com/transcriptions/transcriptions.htm

[@brolaire8851]

You could probably go online to musescore and find some there.

[@ckeledjian]

That last D thrill in the horns is the most sublime and unique orchestral moment ever written

Carolina Crown brought me here.

[@renservice1725]

Просто невероятно...

[@PureGonzo]

Is this the Erich Kunzel, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra version?

[@treewalker1070]

This is great that you included the original organ score with this piece, because (like all Stokowski's Bach orchestrations) the arrangement completely loses the sense of the four interweaving voices of the fugue. But the four voices can be followed with the score.

[@renservice1725]

Не согласен с Вами.

[@jjgeoffphhcinkkllee]

completely loses? hardly, until like the last 10 seconds maybe
