Do you happen to know why Bach usually begins a lot of his fugues with rests? In this fugue, it begins with a quarter and eighth note rest in the treble clef. I assume the subject is stated in the alto voice in this fugue.

I agree...
-
Using different instruments with diverse timbres for each voice in the fugue creates wonders.
This particular fugue has a pretty long subject.

That sounds cool. I've seen some computer programs that could change the sound of a .mid file for example, from a grand piano to a brass instrument. You could check those out and maybe get your brass sound back...

I wrote this piece for a brass quintet on my computer program saved as (if I remember) an .all file. But when I tried to convert to an mp3 I had to save it as a .mid file and lose the brass sound. It would've sounded really nice!

I haven't seen one. It makes me curious...
Very well done! Not so fast, like other interprets, i like your play, each tune of this fuge speak for himself, and i think, you read and play BACH in the horizontal way, what means, that you understand him well.

Thank you. I'm happy someone noticed my dedication to play Bach the horizontal way...

have you beheld the monstrosity that is sorabji's transcription of this piece? ...he takes it and puts it on steroids. almost every melodic line is tripled or quadrupled... we're talking double-sixths, octaves, tenths, massive sprawling chords... for each hand, often at the same time! during one subject entry at least there are 5-6 melodic lines going simultaneously... it is madness!

Sorabji... you mean the Indian composer? Would love to hear it. Do you know if anyone uploaded a performance in youtube?
