J. S. Bach - Ricercare a 6 from "Musikalisches Opfer" BWV 1079 - Piano Version

[jul54jazz]

@slowalker700 en même temps c'est pas parce qu'il y a des accords de 7ème que c'est du jazz...

[darthzydar]

The string version of this piece really brings out something special (and the buildup and the crescendo is legendary)

Bach improvised this in 3 voices. Then Frederick II asked if he can do it in six. Bach replied he needed some time.

[NimbleTurtle13]

@dragmio At least we know he was human!

[HerlockSholmes123]

Does anyone know where a piano transcription could be found? I looked everywhere and found nothing.

[taviona]

@HerlockSholmes123 It was written for a keyboard instrument (probably harpsichord or clavichord), there is no need for a transcription.

[goldencricket]

@taviona I thought it was written specifically for piano, as Frederick asked Bach to compose music for his set of 15 pianos. I could be wrong though.

[angoranimi07]

@slowalker700 indeed; no jazz has that motivic coherence and perfection of form even though i love jazz.

спасибо Tatiana...спасибо...

You people obviously do not know Russian Piano Technique or how J.S. Bach is to be performed. The staccatos are the start of phrases and when in a series of rows, there is no pedal to be used aside from what is called "Stab Pedal." Most Bachian Pianists in the US and in Southern Europe will not even use pedal. Only Ukrainians and Russians use Pedal in Bach. It is because we know how. People that speak from ignorance find themselves stupid in the long-run. I am a Concert Pianist; I know Bach.

[klavierspieler72]

An amazing work by Bach! So complex and yet elegant and clear. Magnificent pianist, this Nikolayeva, on top of that.

[lovesGenet]

It is rare that in an instant a musician can come up wirth the complexity and SENSE of even the simplest Bach compositions.The toccatas and variations ,fantasias are indeed improvisational. ellington had to spend time as wellas Mozart when they turned towards fugato writing.Webern and Boulez lead the pack.Try Stockhausens Contra-PUNkTE

[BeowulfVids]

@Slowalker700, I'm sorry but that statement concerning improvisation in jazz is wrong. Bach was a renounded and avid improvisationalist on the organ.

[jezmuff]

@slowalker700 I absolutely do not understand your comment; if you're implying that jazz isn't music well, I won't even begin. I will however end by saying that noone in the world will agree with that, for obvious reasons.

[jezmuff]

@slowalker700 Exactly - what is jazz but a particularly well worked-out perversion of orthodox harmony anyway?

[Cantusdivic]

Woah, sounds like Gould. Seems, that he was not the first , who made the contrapunctal structure of this work as clear, as it sounds in this take. Great performance.

[gr0mithtimon]

@Cantusdivic

Gould never recorded this, ifaik. Perhaps you are thinking of the art of fugue..

Gracias @spinoza1111

Mana la obra de arte en si misma y no para nadie.(Ya es de todos).Existe como un espejo que espera ver su propio reflejo."Nada que sea congruente,mensurable o crepusculos desiertos.

Pero estemos descalzos porque pisamos tierra sagrada.

[paradoxicus]

Gravitacional y esforzado, como un aguijon que empuja, en su instante de veneno en la hora silenciosa, en el paisaje vacio. Esa historia apenas esbozada de un silencio hecho de polvo, ceniza presente en tanto ayer acallado y acechante como un Nemesis, o Cronos, o un Marte deleitante o delirante, olvidados ya de todos los dioses, sonrientes desde su dulce eternidad.

[paradoxicus]

Gracias a spinoza 1111,que me regala ideas y la oprtunidad de poder escribir.

[angietihi]

Ah Tatiana! So gracious, restrained, beautiful

[spinoza1111]

The work of art is for itself and not for you, especially not for you, gives you nothing but expects from you, everything. "You are not here to verify, instruct yourself, inform curiosity or carry report". "Remove thy shoes, for this is holy ground".

[ComfortablyUnnumb]

ever read Leibniz's refutation of Spinoza? LaRouche has emphasized that Leibniz was someone who understood 'Dynamics', (of the ancient Greek word) and one example may be found in the concluding paragraphes of Percy Shelley's "A Defense of Poetry"

[spinoza1111]

OMG Lyndon LaRouche: give me a break.

[spinoza1111]

Step by step, As in pain we relearn to walk The last mile of the journey of this life Through a last landscape, Deserted the village, Like the City, lower Manhattan, Evacuated on September 11th by the cops, Where the buildings shrouded in dust Had the look of buildings not looked at Noumenal, not phenomenal any more, The voices of the market stilled, Like the dead, Withdrawn, grave, but smiling at us From the beyond.

[pianistaeli]

Absolutely beautiful!

[drlawitts]

who has sheet music with fingerings for this? anyone?

[Seabamirum]

I have fingerings

[drlawitts]

@Seabamirum , can you send to me?

[perogrullo88]

tatyana Nikolayeva es nítida, exacta, cada una de las voces tiene vida y personalidad. Esta versiòn del ricercare a 6 posee una fuerza expresiva que es muy difícil obtener, y sin embargo suena tan facil y natural en sus manos prodigiosas.

[adriathan1994]

just listen the piece from 2:34 with all those jazz chords and you will see that Bach was Jazzist ... i think that the Ricercare a 6 is one of the most difficult pieces for the instruments with keys...

[yourforte]

Sounds fabulous.

[itsgud2bdking]

i've always thought TMO should be played on piano, after all, thats what the whole story behind it's conception is about, when bach played on the novelty pianos for frederick

[jkhalsa]

Thanks for posting. I had never heard of her up until now. This is so clear, calm and beautiful.

[Patryczeq155]

So great....
