J.S. Bach - BWV 689 - Fuga super: Jesus Christus unser Heiland

[PraeludiumUndFuge]

It's funny some of these Klavier-Übung III pieces are the most "Stilo Antico" pieces Bach ever composed, well after he had absorbed the Italian Sonata harmonic schemes. Nary a sequence to be heard. It almost sounds like we're back to the days of Pachelbel in some of these.

Have you considered placing BWV 552 Prelude and Fugue at the beginning and end of the Klavier-Übung III playlist, respectively? They are, after all, the official opening and closing pieces of the Book.

@PraeludiumUndFuge I know that you are right, BWV 552's prelude comes at the very beginning and the fugue at the end of "Klavier-Übung III". If you'd like to see those two works where they actually belong I'm going to do it then. I've never thought about it, because I set Bach's works according to their enumerative BWV. I hope you'll understand what I was trying to say ;)

[PraeludiumUndFuge]

@toxiconegro Sure, that made sense. It´s easy to overlook the fact since the BWV numbering would suggest otherwise.

i just cat figure out how that dude(bach) thinks!

its like the motion and the melody is always changing from the upper to middle, lower...

how can he make it so fluently?

[toxiconegro]

It's remarkable, isn't it? I love the way Bach composed, it's so structual and theoretical, just amazing.

Bach is a genius, no doubt...

[PraeludiumUndFuge]

@yohenson no one has really matched him in that respect to this day. His skill at painstakingingly distributing the motion among the voices is still bewildering after studying his scores for a few years now. Although in this particular case it's quite tame in this regard compared to some of his "free" pieces. This is a fugue, after all.

Your grammar is phenomenal compared to most Germans I've met on YouTube so far. :P

[bubblykings]

That's it...I think it'll start to be very boring if I tried to continue saying thank you. but Thank you!! :P
