  • I just saw some BBC news online poll of the greatest composers of the last millennium. Paul McCartney was #1. Mozart #2, Bach #3, Beethoven #4. Of those funky Brits. FYI: Marijuana affects the memory.

  • @Lassannn Those mainstream votes aren't representable in the long way. In 100 years nobody will remember Paul McCartney anymore whereas the other three ones will be reminded forever

  • One of my favorite fugues, one of my favorite organ pieces, one of my favorite Bach compositions, one of my favorite pieces of music. Thanks for the upload.

  • @b0ttomzone

    In fact: one of your favorite videos as well I suppose ^^ You're welcome and thanks for all your comments.

  • @Protenor Try arranging this fugue for synthesizer/midi using crystal-clear, sonorous tones. You'll see its magic beyond the original but blurry organ version.

  • Mistake at 2:02; has a weird effect.

  • @mtv565 I agree; after listening to all of Bach's organ works for an extended period of time, I have to conclude that I think this is the best. If we think of the ideal of polyphony as making all voices be heard equally, never has greater clarity been achieved than in this one. It has strong melodic qualities and a superb structural balance, motoric drive and dramatic progressions. After 2 years consideration I'd have to proclaim this the best piece of music that I know.

  • Absolutely fabulous music! Bach's music stirs my passions more than almost anything I can think of! I defy even the most unmusical person to be unaffected by listening to this!

  • @b0ttomzone one of the best pieces of music ever!

  • The finest and most tuneful fugue of Bach.

  • @goatsmetallica I agree.

  • @Lassannn how is mozary above bach, bachs ghost could write better music than mozart, not that mozart isnt great he is just no one can touch bachs music in my opinion
