@xanotos65 A song has words, the correct terminology is 'piece' or 'work' thank you. Also this is entirely written using the most intellectually challenging compositional technique known to man...counterpoint! hence it is the least "Stupidest" piece of music you will ever listen to. It's actually probably more intelligent than you are.
@xanotos65 You should really learn to study up on things before you call them stupid. Try learning how to play it perfectly and if you can and you still don't like it, you can call it stupid all you want. Saying that this piece is stupid is showing your immaturity and how close-minded you are being. You don't have to like the piece, but please respect the art within itself.
@funkyxela7891 Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, by Douglas R. Hofstadter, 1979. It's hard to name a topic that the book doesn't cover! It's amazing. Brains, logic, computers, the genetic code, structures that loop back on themselves or describe themselves: the book is a work of genius, an "instant classic" from the week it came out. I'm privileged to have gotten to know its author.
I will be using this music as part of a planned "spiritual" level LSD dose trip soon. Not sure about the harpsichords, kind of a grating sound. Perhaps piano.
One should always take Aldous Huxley with a grain of salt -especially in 'The Doors of Perception'- but it just so happens I myself have twice had Old Bach to thank for helping anchor me to sanity and mental clarity during a bad LSD trip -the terrors which I'm absolutely certain are an order of magnitude worse than facing a firing squad.
Come to think of it, I don't remember any such passage in 'TDOP' (I read it in1996, when I was callow enough to take reading suggestions from Jim Morrison).
I found a reference to this piece in Arturo Perez-Reverte's "The Flanders Panel," a novel about a painting of a fifteenth century chess game that has clues to murders back then and in the present. The book is as "thick" as this music! Marvelous!

@FantasizingHere I bought the book and im just in the first pages that is how i came to this video, seems like its going to be an amazing book for me! Gretings.
@BigBiff88 King George I & King Frederick William I (Frederick the Great's father) are from the same Hanoverian dynasty. No doubt that they have exchanged Handel's music. Do not underestimate the fact that Handel's manuscripts were widely circulated in those days.
@BigBiff88 (cont.) It should be noted that in the Baroque era, "transposition" is not merely changing the melody to another pitch, rather it emphasizes more on the structure of the composition, in accordance to the Baroque's Doctrine of the Affections (Structure > Melody). Thanks for asking. :)
I just started reading Godel, Escher, Bach and it's fascinating. That's what led me to this video. Musicians that think they know the complexity of Bach's music would be blown away.
I was 9 when I first heard this piece and such a depth I was thrown into, weeping and weeping as if I was along for this ride and had no say in the matter. All I had to do is turn it off, but I couldn't. I had a similiar reaction to the double violin concerto and my parents wanted to take me to a psychiatrist because I wouldn't stop crying. Bach should be impressed, making a 9 yr old weep like that.
i have been read "GEB" hofstatder's book and a pullitzer winner, so i dont understand good why the author said that this work is like a escher's lithography or gödel's theorem :s ....
please somebody explain me or in the better case, please tell me if is because i don't have a musical ear!?
@sidlors His basic observation is on how canons and fugues play on the concept of self-reference. J.S. Bach just happened to be one of the greatest composers of such works. Hofstadter is not singling him out specifically because the music sounds like a masterpiece (regardless of whether it does or not).
thanks my friends, i from mexico and a old edition is here (1984) in spanish of curse. now i understand that i should reserch a lote of topics before or parallely to GEB.
@sofiakharkover Short answer: yes. What is an inversion? An inversion is intrinsically linked to the concept of the self. You cannot invert something without that something being identified. And it's not just an inversion, it's an inversion being played alongside the original, and/or alongside itself in reverse.
The idea of a strange loop is one in which some notion of "self" is referenced in the continuation of the loop. To invert something, you say "for each note, invert relative to the self".
@sidlors see the wikipedia page on "A musical offering" - it should andswer your question and raise even more. And after listening to this, one realizes the maze of riddles answered in the goldberg variations, not mentioned on the wiki page, and obviously one iterpretation of the musical offering puzzles.
Why should any of us participate in the falsehoods we do when the reality Bach reveals is open to every one of us is a question I ask myself often. No one has an excuse to pursue materialism when this is reality.
In deepest humility I dedicate herewith to Your Majesty a musical offering, the noblest part of wich derives from your Majesty's own august hand....

i think he was also somewhat inspired by pachelbel and buxtehude.
he was a german composer who had a lot of influence from buxtehude's northern german style of organ playing, but is also famous for drawing influence from french, italian, and other styles at the time.
what I was taught was that baroque was a style of classical music... but i see now that there was also a classical period of music, so i see where someone might get confused...
He did. A LOT of studying of the major composers before him (Germans, Italians, French...). There are documents (letters from him and his sons), music scores (arrangements, adaptations, "based-upon..." pieces, etc.) and that amply show that. AND he kept at it for all of his life. What he was able to do with this learning is the truly marvelous & amazing thing. Some of the major influences were Buxtehude and the Italians (Vivaldi, Albinoni...) :-)
@polymath7 What specifically do you find lacking in this performance? How could it be performed such that more of the beauty and poetry comes through? What is the nature of the innate beauty and poetry that is drained?
This was my impression:
-intonation is spectacular
-so is rhythm
-use of rubato I find both stylistic and very expressive
-so is vibrato and dynamics (excluding harpsichord of course)
Hmm; would that I could, but I'm rather puzzled myself. I'm not sure what the hell I was thinking when I wrote that.
It was ten months ago, but I think I may have been predjudiced by being heavily accustomed to the Nevile Marinner ASMF recording, of which I'm extremely fond. Also, I was quite likely drunk.
At any rate, I was dead wrong and retract what I said without qualification.
@misterbuckethead Never mind. I was confusing GEB with another book: "Evening in the Palace of Reason: Bach Meets Frederick the Great in the Age of Enlightenment" by Gaines.
@misterbuckethead Ha, it's so funny you mention that book; I'm actually reading it now and that's why I came here seeking this piece. I'm trying to understand what Hofstadter is talking about when he writes about complex canons. I've never studied music, so it's difficult to really grasp his meaning. Did you get it?
A very beautiful creation of the human intellect which we can appreciate forever. ;)
