Southern California Junior Bach Festival - Heidi Fleischbein - organ - "Prelude in C Major"

Heidi Fleischbein (String Sparks Duo) is an apprentice to Leslie Wolf Robb. Heidi performs on the organ at La Mesa First United Methodist Church for the Southern California Junior Bach Festival held April 16, 2011. She plays "Prelude in C Major" by J.S. Bach. In this music, Bach uses counterpoint, a method of combining sounds as if they were geometric figures, numbers, or images. Sprint imitation, echo, recess, and reflection correspond to as many combination methods of the counterpoint. This term comes from the Latin punctum contra punctum, that is, "note against note." The instrumental version of counterpoint is called the FUGUE. Bach was the greatest of its modern cultivators. The first voice intones a theme: the SUBJECT of the fugue. One after the other, voices reproduce and imitate the theme, as in a game of reciprocal answers. This is a series of musical episodes in which the material of the exposition, transported in a different tonality from the initial one, is reproduced in new imitations and sometimes varied freely. Discussion was followed by STRETTO. This is the final phase of the fugue, often followed by a Coda.

What wonderful a performance, and the explanation of Fugue that comes with this video performance is outstanding!
