@michaeljholme Bach did it rarely as it wasn't really a feature of his style. The harpsichord does not lend itself to more percussive fugues, and neither does the organ. Two counterexamples come to mind. The second entrance of Fugue XIII in the Art of the Fugue and Book II Fugue 16 of the WTC. Beethoven wrote an amazing one at the end of his life in the Diabelli Variations (movement XXXII), so it was by no means unexplored territory before Shostakovich.

This is the ending of the No. 24, where the fugue goes ferocious at the end. Ignore the background, appreciate the sonority.

[beethomozart]

nice way of ending the 24 preludes and fugues by great russian composer Shostakovich

[VICTORMANUELMORALES]

Thank you very, maybe the first step is love to the music, so then, maybe we can to understand the real sense of the music we play...

Tremenda fuga...sin duda una de mis preferidas, a mi me gusta un poquitito mas rapido pero tu version es unica felicidades y un abrazo! (por cierto que onda con el "buzz" del fondo?)...

[vitruviancat]

can't criticize the playing, but the constant buzzing from the camera (i assume) is so annoying).

[gee1996]

wow. i wish i could play like you.

[suzettegm]

You're from another part of the world, but you're good at this Russion idiom

[AngelinaTaylor]

Awesome! That piece is a killer. You have a good ear and I bet you play Bach well too =)

The only thing I can suggest is to give it more colour/shape near the end (when it's all big and loud). Great work!

Man, I love that piece.

De todos modos creo que es un buen desafío tocar varias de estas piezas. Este es otro de mis favoritos y está muy bien tocado lástima que el piano haya estado un poco desafinado pero bueno eso a veces pasa. Yo por mi parte solo he tocado el Nº 20 hace ya algunos años.
