  • In my humble opinion the Klavier-Übung III is Bach's greatest work, but is unfortunately overlooked by the non-erudite of the Organ. The scope is so vast and ecumenical, the artistry so sophisticated. The symbolysms, the occultism, the craftmanship make this very book the Cross atop the mountain Bach created.

  • The strict stretto imitation of the motivic fragments taken from the chorale lines, cantus firmus in the upper pedal voice, superpositions of the cantus firmus with motivic fragments derived from it, all combined with the 17th century modal style of harmony take us back to very early days of keyboard counterpoint in Grand fashion, creating an enormous sense of Gravitas. Bach never went this far back in time in other compositions.

  • The alla-breve meter and notation in quarter, half and whole notes is Bach's tribute and culmination of the ancient polyphonic manuscripts of the "stile antico"

  • @VitaliyGR I agree and in this piece the texture is much denser than those examples you mentioned, where all the voices are rarely heard simultaneously and rather the effect of 5 or 6 voices is used to create subject entries in various registers. This piece is a pure display of Bach's "Gravitas".

  • Even in the Well-Tempered Klavier (and in the whole scope of Bach's keyboard heritage) full 5-voice counterpoint was rare, and for 6-voice one can name only Ricercar beside this one, especially with double pedals. Magnificent!

  • 2 voices in the pedal. I'm afraid to even try this one.

  • 6 voices in the ancient style this is the culmination
