Thank you. I've learned new things through it. Every time I stumble on one of your videos I understand something new. your graphic renditions gives me a lot and I am glad you take the trouble and devote the effort in making these videos. Thank you.
Very interesting vid for those of us who like the noise music makes but don't have a great understanding of what's going on. It's interesting the impact that the Art of Fugue has when I hear it.
Absolutely great. actually the type of display is especially suited for this type of music. It is an enhancement for me, although I normally have a similar picture in mind when I am practicing such a piece.
I enjoy the education I'm getting by watching and listening to your videos...I am SO glad I've subscribed! This way, I don't miss anything! Thank you...
@flippert0 The one I play from is the Peters Editions, but that's just because it's the first one I got and it has my fingerings in it. I wouldn't recommend it, though. Any clean urtext version would be better.
@HerlockSholmes123 I hope to do all of Art of Fugue eventually. I picked this one for a variety of reasons: not as well-known as the first one, fairly short, adequate for this exercise, I knew the fingerings, I like it, etc.
Fantastic! Yet another visual indication of this ultimate masterpiece is the change at 2.18 as seen on the Youtube playback head (and taking the 15 seconds of intro into account), the relation between past time and and anticipated time has near perfect Sectio Divino dimensions.
Gorgeous piece, and an awesome performance and visualization. I've tried a few times to properly get my head around counterpoint but I've never quite grasped it... this is definitely helpful.
One thing I noticed is that the counterpoint only shows up a couple times, and briefly both times. If you can dumb it down a little, what exactly *is* the counterpoint? What does it "do"?
@artvandelay13 I've looked at counterpoints a fugues a little bit. But from what I can tell the theme at the beginning is used to add new new sections or instruments. But the theme is transposed in this case it starts on D then the second comes in on A then the next on the D an octave below. Whilst all this is happening there are developments of the theme. It's sounds quite simple in theory but with so much melody it can be difficult to control.

Finally, the Art of Fugue! Apex (and vanishing point?) of polyphonic music. What edition do you use, Stephen?

I think it's hard to go wrong with a fugue... or bach... or one of your videos, so why not all 3

I love what the diagrams bring to the music -- they really help my ears out a lot!
Thanks!
