PLEASE POST THE REST!!!!!

[plutarco7890]

Already done, you can find it in the page #2 in my videos

[dseymour2001]

Where is the rest of movement 1, why was it cut off? Wouldn't at least one of the 10,883 "viewers" ask this question in the commentary? What goes?

[plutarco7890]

Whe I uploaded,last year,I had a PC that sometime refused to save up to the end,so if you are really interested to the complete movement I can upload again just for you.

[Eye2watch]

Well, that would be nice ^^

[plutarco7890]

done

He wasnt only musically inspired by his genius. He was inspired by the spirit of god. Mostly each of his autographs carries "S.D.G." Soli Deo Gloria.

Hearing this makes my soul fly with eagles!

What I love the most about Christianity? Definitely the music.

[MrCajohnson1907]

I didn't need to hear more than three bars to recognize Karl Richter's recording. It's so fast! But this is the best version of this work I've ever heard! I listened to it nearly every day of college. I wish it came on CD, though.

@plutarco7890 I think I've forgotten to thank you for the new upload. So, now, after apparently 2 years... thank you :)

[unamp6]

Gracias....Bellisimo!!!!

MEINE FESTE BURG IST UNSER GOTT!

J.S. Bach ist mein Mittler zum Glauben. Ich bin geboren in seiner Hauptwirkungsstätte. Glaugt mir, er wird dort immer gepriesen, verehrt, nach unserem HERRN.

@Inasnah One example that I really like with this version is use or the repeated 8th note on Tonic and sometimes dominant highlighting the sustained/pedal tones in the bass continuo. Its easy to hear the figure in the trumpets/timpani as nothing but wasted repeated 8th notes. Your problem is that you are just complaining that you can't hear the piece they way you want to hear it as in its original context. But it is more than faulty to say that the added material has not connection to Bach's own

[Inasnah]

@Inasnah You don't know if Bach had the option of trumpets and timpani at the specific time that the cantata was to be performed. It takes more than just adding an instrument to decided whether or not the addition was respectful or not. And in this case, there was no disrespect to the compositional material because the added lines move contrapuntally.

[Inasnah]

@wcbroccoli It is not about me protesting anything. You stating that the trumpet and timpani is distracting fromt he contrapuntal material is based on the limitation that this piece alone is built on counterpoint. The construction of the fugue itself is not just the the melodic material that stems from the subject. But within the fugal subject you have rhythmic motifs, intervalic motifs to name a few. So you are not challenging me in anyway to prove anything.

[wcbroccoli]

@Inasnah The trumpet and timpani parts were skillfuly added, even though they have no connection to the material in the fugue. And no matter how much you protest, the trumpets DO distract from the far more interesting contrapuntal climaxes, and the doubling of the oboes by trumpet distrubs the balance between the canon and the fugato textures.

[wcbroccoli]

@Inasnah The trumpet fanfares ARE gratuitous; they have no connection whatsover with the material of the fugue. I challenge you to cite the motivic connection. I really doubt Bach would have sad, "Damn, I wish I had thought to add trumpets." And I suppose Mozart was being thoughful and respectful when he added clarinets to Handel's Messiah. Or Stokowsky with his monstrous orchestrations of Bach organ music.
