  • @rasmoujin my FAIL

  • @ThorSpirit The tempo is just right

  • @gr0mithtimon Thanx, budy :-)

  • @rasmoujin

    Theme after Giuseppe Torelli :-)

  • That is the best subject and countersubject i have ever seen!

  • Who is the harpsichordist? Why don't you write the name?

    He sounds fantastic!

    Is this a MIDI recording? (I hope not)

  • I just sightread this a little while ago - from the moment I read the subject and realized how great it was, I knew I was going to enjoy this fugue. Thanks for the recording!

  • @wcbroccoli Seems like we share the same kind of thinking on this matter. About the improvisation thing, we're arguing over semantics. Thumbs up for pointing this out to ppl.

  • @wcbroccoli no need to state the obvious. I'm just merely pointing out that extemporization in classical music in general involves a lot of memorization of chord patterns, melodic figures, cadences, etc. Especially in baroque music, there was a lot of preparation that went into certain "improvisatons". The definition is not as simple as you think.

  • @PraeludiumUndFuge There's no gray area.

    Everyone understands that "playing from memory" means playing a piece from memory.

    Improvisation is, by definition, not playing a piece from memory.
