Before hitting the switch to start the Big Bang, the Old Man played this piece, anticipating all the sufferings of mankind.-

@noestetchynghando :) Your comment has pure poetry!

[ForeverIsis]

probably the loneliest piece i've ever heard

[prinzparsiphal777]

@baptistic Die dreitoenige,staendig wiederholte Figur ist ein Leidensmotiv in der Musik von Bach.Dreistimmige Invention in f-moll.

@prinzparsiphal777 Koennen Sie erklaeren was fuer Verhaeltnis gibt es zwischen die beide Stuecke?

[prinzparsiphal777]

@baptistic You are right.-There is neither the third "a" nor "a flat", just a plain " f ", as far as I hear.- Anyhow, a simple " f " tends to create a "major-like" atmosphere due to physics ( overtones ).-Nevertheless the Horowitz version is not really optimistic regarding a Happy End.

@prinzparsiphal777 But does Horowitz actually close with the F major chord?

[baptistic]

Sorry, I'm not a musician, but I'd like to know what it is he plays as the very last, first time around I heard a powerful minor chord (which would be funny since most baaroque pieces end with a major chord), but now I think Horowitz played no chord at all, leaving the auditor to decide whether to hear it major or minor!

[MrTomt1990]

utterly depressing..... but uttterly brilliant!

[prinzparsiphal777]

Dieses Choralpraeludium ist ein Ruf nach Gott in der Dunkelheit des Weltalls.-Der Ruf bleibt ohne Antwort.Das F-Dur des Schlussakkords bringt kaum Licht in die Finsternis.Das Stueck ist verwandt mit der dreistimmigen Invention in f-moll.
