Bach - Harpsichord Concerto in D Minor BWV1052 - Mov. 3/3

[TokeyMcGee]

Wow, I love the finale!

This is fantastic.

[209meli]

I'm not educated in music but I have always loved classical, Bach music has always captured me most

[achantus1]

I love Handel, Mozart and Wagner. But if an extraterrestial came to earth and asked me what we had accomplished in terms of music, I would direct him to the music of Bach. If the organworks of Bach made no impression on him, nothing would, and we would be doomed.

[unfoldingart]

The beginning of this movement reminds me of Vivaldi's Violin Concerto in A Minor.

[MrViolinGuy]

it's funny, the last two movements fit bach's style, but the first movement doesn't sound like bach at all...

[leungctm]

Bravo !!

[dagisa123]

thank you for perfect dinner!!

[TheLurker101]

I love how much of Bach's music is written in trilogies.

[HARMONICO101]

Well, it's a concerto; a three movement piece featuring one or more soloists. Doesn't matter if it is Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven... a concerto is typically three movements.

Johann Sebastian Bach is truly amazing look at Angela Hewitt version of his music she uses a piano instead but when you hear both versions its phenominal Only Bach understood how to make music real his son CPE's first works are just as great but then he left the cource and never again has anyone come close

[HARMONICO101]

I think there are plenty of composers who created "music". Just few who balanced complexity and melody so successfully. Nevertheless, I don't think of Bach as a lone mountain surrounded by a savannah, but as Everest; the tallest in the world, yet surrounded by others nearly as tall and grand. Hardly alone.

[eddiemperor]

I love his son's Concertos for Harpsichord listen to them if u havent.

[requiemaeturnum]

The painting is fitting. Absolute masterwork! The harpisichord and the pipe organ are both very under rated instruments.

[MagikMan27]

wonderful recording of a truly breathtaking piece of music, by the way.

[MagikMan27]

What is "BWV"? I've seen this next to what I assume to be the opus number in the names of a lot of Bach pieces and I don't know what it means.

[HARMONICO101]

BWV stands for "Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis" (Bach Works Catalogue) which is the numbering system used to catalogue Bach's music. The BWV followed by a number, is the shorthand for identifying Bach's works. They are grouped thematically, not chronologically.

Opus numbers are quite different as they are only used for works that were published during a composer's lifetime. They are also often used by the composers themselves.

[Palata6]

Harpsichord would need to stand out a little more, it's a concerto. Fine performance otherwise.

[HARMONICO101]

It's actually better on the CD. For some reason it's kind of quiet here.

[tratarara]

so off what cd is it exactly?

[flightbyshred]

can you put up the harpsichord invention 4? in dminor

[HARMONICO101]

Unfortunately, I do not have a recording of Bach's heyboard inventions... yet.

[Fullperson]

I love these pictures. which sites do you get them from?

[HARMONICO101]

I used to get them from one place, a web art gallery specializing in pre-modern art, but I can't remember what it is. Nowadays, I usually look up a specific artist's work or painting on google and go from there.

[lateralex90]

god i luv this masterpiece,haha,at least that's a masterpiece for me,the other movements are not quite good as this one,i find this one as fascinating as the Castlevania SOTN soundtrack,of course,comparison is far better in this one,but i find it as captive as that soundtrack,it has that lil' taste of an obscure aristocracy,at the solo part of the harpsichord before the middle one...

[HARMONICO101]

There's a soundtrack for Castlevania?

[lateralex90]

of course,is more like heavy metal mixed up with orchestra and some songs got harpsichord or pipe organ,thou is a cool soundtrack,just look for it in the ares and you'll see,or you can llok here for The Tragic prince,a song of the soundtrack...you can get the list anywhere

[raticida123456]

good pic for the music

[HARMONICO101]

The trills and the crisp, sharpness of the playing reminds me of a chilly winter day. Hence the painting.

[Sastra3]

J.S Bach was most likely the one Musician in Human History to come close to absolute mastery. I do not like putting people on pedestals, but this man achieved extraordinary levels of Musical Theory and Composition. His timing changes, his key changes, and his out right dexterity have not been matched. I know Composer's style varies from listener to listener, but I cannot help but put Bach at the top.

[NagualElias]

not to mention he is in-human when it comes to his harmonies. Listening to some of his works is like being skyocketed into another dimension
