it sad....because we hate them because we have to learn them for exams...but if you listen to them...relaxed..then you can see...or hear the greatness of a composer

[chunnnli]

beautiful

[AcidicFatin]

i thought baroque style should not have a wide range of expression?

[Jetstar3000]

i love music! :p wooooooooooooooooooowwowwwwwwo­wowowowo!!!!!

[Bruce88keys]

@maribavou learning vs. hate kinda suggests re evaluation

[MusicPredominates]

@maribavou : don't do examinations

[Amarelaoo1]

looooooooooooooooove d minor

[CYYZspotter]

i find it sad that tik tok by kesha (parody) is a suggestion to this video...

[pianodog81]

Richter really breathes life into these pieces. Many other piano greats make the WTC pieces sound like well-performed exercises, but with Richter you feel like he is playing what was in the composer's mind.

@maribavou They practically learn the exams for me, I can't concentrate without music, and I sing along with the normal music. This enhances my brain

@ dxpdxpdxp: there is so much things to analyse about this fugue! 1st, it utilises strettos (after exposition) in the development section. Somewhere midway, the fugue theme is turned upside down (ie; inversion) in the strettos.

[dxpdxpdxp]

@Pianoplayer002 : Ah... I prefer to listen to metal... but, unfortunately, we must analyze this fugue, and I have no Idea of counterpoint or whatsoever soprano, alto, or any other voice ....

LOL
