J.S. Bach - 8 Short Preludes & Fugues, BWV 556 (# 4)

[smurdd]

why does this make me think of carnivals.

[hartleymartin]

I'm starting to think that they play them all so fast so as to get more onto a CD...

[frenlyhenri]

This is a great piece.

I really love the prelude!!

BACH ES LO MEJOR

[Owdfolkie]

@liberafan4eva I think this was one of the first pieces I learned over forty years ago, and have never considered it difficult! If anything, of the eight I find it the easiest...!

[AttyEK]

so BWV means what again?!... oh yeah!!! "Bach Werke Verzeichnis" - Bach works catalogue

[thegoddescomposer]

Hate when people says some pieces are not from bach u never cant prove it

[lyue1996]

@thegoddescomposer You can actually hear if it is bach.

[eustachu]

Nieźle się Krebs spisał :D

[euphorgan]

to fast!

[gogogadget91]

@euphorgan it's not fast! It's VIVACE!!! =)

[hometone2]

These are anonymous, not by Bach

[kuethejunior]

This is way too fast, but i still love it :)

[micangess]

Koopman all'Arp Schnitger?

[poopingeneral]

This was an awesome clip! The style is definitely German!

[tetrisclock]

How can a style be nationalistic?

[poopingeneral]

@tetrisclock; good question, if you listen to the first of the two preludes, you can hear all the German influences, especially with the pedal notes.

[tetrisclock]

Ah, you mean the way it was written. Yes, I can hear that, plainly.

I thought you mean the performer was playing in a German way.

[tsboy92]

@tetrisclock its the style of northern german composer at the 18th century. nothing to do with nationalism,

[tetrisclock]

Like I had said; I thought he was saying that the playing style was German, not the style in which it was written.

[n4bgw]

I love the detached quarter notes in the voices that aren't carrying the theme! That sounds really cool, although not the original marking i don't think, but still very cool :)

[Bartomaonderbroek]

great performance!

[willpg3121]

awesome!

[firebreathone2]
