J. S. Bach - Prelude and Fugue n.4 in C-sharp minor BWV 849 (WTC I)

[hellomottogotto]

Awesome how the harpsicord sounds :)

[chillyam]

What a sound, high-pitched sounds but i love it !!

[WatchBlueSkies]

a great record ! A true master of the Cembalo !

[Regenbogen501]

Super!!!

[1401JSC]

Does anyone know what instrument KG is playing and the year of the recording?

In fugues, the writing is a combination of horizontal lines rather than vertical harmonic thinking.

Look at the beginning of bar 17. The 4 voices lead to a simultaneous A B C# E#.

the important thing is that intervallic disonnances are resolved.

[sedativeman]

Does anyone know where I could get the mp3 versions of these songs?

[1401JSC]

This is not a song!

Songs are SUNG by singers.

[sedativeman]

My bad!

Dont be anal about it haha.

Well, excuse me, I mean piece.

[1401JSC]

I Tunes surely has it.

Doesn't anyone buy CDs any more?

No wonder they stay expensive.

Two years ago however you could buy a boxed set of CDs the Whole works of Bach for 100€!!!!

@1401JSC

Oh I love all of Bach's hit songs.

[3NUNS]

@1401JSC good one !

[wcbroccoli]

@1401JSC But the ear doesn't hear this as a tone cluster. The C# E# and A form a triad in F# minor. The B is simply a dissonant "suspension" held over from the previous measure where is was part of a G# B D# chord.. The B resolves to an A in an F# minor chord in the 2nd half of the measure.

This is a motet style fugue in the stile antico.

Palestrina introduced and resolved dissonances in exactly this manner.

[MusicPredominates]

@wcbroccoli : Good observation !

[hellomottogotto]

It says harpsicaor right by the name dumbass.

[JSC1401]

@hellomottogotto

Learn to spell!

I was asking about the date and maker of the instrument, as any intelligent reader would know.

[DeMars3]

OMG at 6:01 - that's an Augmented Chord!!! What a genius!

[UserID20]

yupyup, an Augmented C# major without a third under an inverted C# major with no augmentation. I spent like 10 minutes playing that chord over last night just to get the feel of it, it truly is genius.

als könnte M irgendetwas ausgleichen... *lach, er muss wohl erst mal maennlich stolz daher kommen, um zu erobern...

4. Thema: spielerische Herausforderung zum erotischen Kampf

W beginnt M zu verführen, Animation, ab der Mitte übernimmt M und verweist W in ihre Schrankenwill ausgleichen und beschwichtigen, tönt ziemlich tragend (zäh bis abturnend oder eintönig und saturnisch)
