Prelude and Fugue no.24 in Dm Op.87,by Shostakovich PART 2

[fredericfranc]

This is the ending of the No. 24, where the fugue goes ferocious at the end. Ignore the background, appreciate the sonority.

[beethomozart]

nice way of ending the 24 preludes and fugues by great russian composer Shostakovich

You seem to understand this music very well, i say seem 'cos i'm not Russian but it sounds good(yr music, i mean0

[VICTORMANUELMORALES]

Thank you very, maybe the first step is love to the music, so then, maybe we can to understand the real sense of the music we play...

[locomotifx]

@VICTORMANUELMORALES To love the music first - yes, and as we take it to our hearts and souls we understand it - however much we might learn concerning the historical context or whatever, we can never be there - but we can love the music.

Tremenda fuga...sin duda una de mis preferidas, a mi me gusta un poquitito mas rapido pero tu version es unica felicidades y un abrazo! (por cierto que onda con el "buzz" del fondo?)...

[vitruviancat]

can't criticize the playing, but the constant buzzing from the camera (i assume) is so annoying).

[gee1996]

wow. i wish i could play like you.

[suzettegm]

You're from another part of the world, but you're good at this Russion idiom

[AngelinaTaylor]

Awesome! That piece is a killer. You have a good ear and I bet you play Bach well too =)

The only thing I can suggest is to give it more colour/shape near the end (when it's all big and loud). Great work!

Man, I love that piece.

[michaeljholme]

Repeated notes feature in at least a couple of the fugues (this one and D major?) from what I can recall, but I don't remember Bach making them a feature in his fugues. I find that interesting, I rather like them. The transition to the seccond faster half of this fugue is gorgeous !! Very palatable music and played extremely well, which philistine gave you less than 5 stars.

@michaeljholme Bach did it rarely as it wasn't really a feature of his style. The harpsichord does not lend itself to more percussive fugues, and neither does the organ. Two counterexamples come to mind. The second entrance of Fugue XIII in the Art of the Fugue and Book II Fugue 16 of the WTC. Beethoven wrote an amazing one at the end of his life in the Diabelli Variations (movement XXXII), so it was by no means unexplored territory before Shostakovich.

[Alvarordonez]

Es uno de los preludios y fugas de Shostakovich más complejos, sobre todo hacia el final, bastante enérgico por cierto! Qué bueno encontrar diferentes interpretaciones de estos preludios y fugas. Más bien pocos pianistas los tocan con frecuencias y menos si se trata del ciclo completo (bueno ya hay demasiado repertorio para piano después de todo).

[Alvarordonez]

De todos modos creo que es un buen desafío tocar varias de estas piezas. Este es otro de mis favoritos y está muy bien tocado lástima que el piano haya estado un poco desafinado pero bueno eso a veces pasa. Yo por mi parte solo he tocado el Nº 20 hace ya algunos años.

Well Done Victro.

You give spirit and sounds really Shostakovich.
