Stately.

Fine playing and appropriate tempo when played on a modern piano. A slower tempo seems appropriate when this is played on an organ in a good acoustic. Thank you for your splendid music making.
-
Fantastic. I like both versions, and both were played beautifully. That being said, I think I marginally prefer the slower.
-
i think he is the very best

You are a wonderful player.

Listen to Musica Antiqua Koln's recording of this. It's fantastic and they play a similar tempo to this. They also play #1 in three minutes like I believe it should be!

In this triple fugue, Bach combines BACH and SDG when the first and second subjects are combined and does so many times in transposition throughout. Also, he does the same in #11 when all the subjects are inverted.
Look at measure 44-45. There appears Eb-D-G in the bass (SDG in German) and Bb-A-C-B (BACH in German) in retrograde. This happens in all permutations about 100 more times in this fugue and in #11. Also, the first six notes in #10 are the SDG motive in two permutations.

This is excellent! Thanks for playing the tempo I suggested. Just a tad faster makes all the difference in the world. I love this fugue!

Glad you like it: it still seems a bit fast to me! I felt like I was going to fall off my perch! But I'm willing to color outside of my own lines every now and then just for the sake of adventure.
