The letters i and j were equated in Latin and German, as were the letters u and v. The alphabet thus had 24 letters. The Art of the Fugue consists of 24 parts, see the list in the caption. Kabbalah connects creative power to language: let there be light. The video lasts an incomplete 24 minutes as a tribute.

Ja Bach maakte echt een mooie tekening als versiering

Ruth Tatlow's book: Bach's Numbers Compositional Proportion and Significance is highly recommended. Thank you for following my channel, and have a Merry Christmas!

Hello Bob, it was a real pleasure to map out the puzzle pieces of the riddle. With the explanation the corner pieces, number 9, 23 and 24 are in their place. The positions of 10 to 22 are an open question for me, no templates have been handed down for that.

Thank you, that's so nice to hear!

@ Your work is fantastic!

Thank you!

Hello friend, BWV 227 is such a great piece of Bach to hear for the first time. I am currently in the process of calligraphy his cello suites in their entirety. I would definitely recommend those pieces to you, they are so beautiful, and there are some wonderful slow movements. Thanks for watching the video.

​@@joostwitte5546Thank you for your message! Are there any groups of works you would recommend? I do not know the names and would much prefer to not search the silly phrase "Bach slow music." Thank you again!

@@MangoLoverXCX You could search for: Anner Bijlsma Bach cello suites

Thank you!

Thanks for watching and appreciating!

Thanks for watching

Thanks you so much, that makes my day!

That's nice to hear!

Yes, that's true, there's quite a bit of variation in the forms Bach uses for that. I like the bird-like sign he uses in the violin suites.

I love the spontaneity and ingenuity of your beautiful calligraphy. While practicing I have experienced a phase of clumsiness to a phase of being too neat and careful. Now that I have the technique a bit more under control I can let go a bit more, and work more freely, which makes it more lively.

@joostwitte5546 I tried my best to copy my own stuff now. It all happened thanks to your inspiration. I use a different pen and thicker paper, and now i have much better result, i think i quite like it this times.. thank you for sharing your work!

@@vandiergovenn You can be proud of your work, I get a lot of inspiration from it, and I learn a lot from it. Keep up the good work!

Yes, I can imagine that. I would like to collaborate with a violinist who has mastered the violin suites to make videos together. Hopefully that will work out someday.

Thank you Tom, I'm glad you like the video.

Thank you Maximiliane, studying the calligraphy really pays of for connecting to the music.

The bows had less tension than is usual today, but the four-part harmony is mainly a matter of suggestion and indeed arpeggiation, a true wonder.

Yes, the seemingly time-consuming way of writing has many very efficient and profound learning outcomes.

Thank you. I am not familiar with recordings, but it would be so interesting to be able to listen to the earliest version of the WTK in its entirety. The manuscript is named after the last private owner F. Konwitschny - there are quite a few writing mistakes in it.

There is a vast amount of Bach literature about this topic in which you can be dragged as in a rabbit hole. In the video a few metaphors are stacked to get more solid ground under one's feet. The running numbers of the Matrix movie are a scrambled version of Sushi recipes. We follow Bach's cookbook in various stages of composition. Rather than a perfect floor plan in advance, there seems to be a gradual adjustment and design. Through humanism, the techniques of Kabbalah had entered the recipes. Fear of missing out can perhaps be put into perspective because we recognize Bach's music as his own, as well as an experience of heavenly harmony, without deciphering. Decoding usually ends with the kind of information one can find in lexicon entries concerning his biography (his name) and the stories considered at the time meaningful for understanding the world.

Sure, I won’t use it again.

Dank je wel Nazli voor alle inspiratie en samenwerking!

Yes indeed, and the final number of bars in a piece also determines what we hear

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Hello Engelbert, what beautiful words to read, I feel very appreciated.

Thanks Chris!

Yes that is a nice observation!

That makes me happy!

That is so nice to hear!

Thank you so much for watching!

The paper is hemp paper, in the video: - How to start Calligraphing like Bach - I discuss the materials and tools he used.

@@joostwitte5546 Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your appreciation. For the rastrum you could use the search terms automatic pen 5 line, shops with calligraphy tools store it under those words. www.automaticpens.co.uk/html/which.asp

In Bach's scores notes are more or less regularly spaced. System endings are usually broken at quarter note level, sometimes with an increase in density, sometimes with a small empty space - possibly filled with announcing notes of the following system. Bach does not work from an example but from memory and makes an estimate for an equivalent entire page filling, which he regularly adjusts. The end result has fluctuations that can usually be optimized, without measure breaks, starting new episodes on a new system, and a regular page fill for more similar grayscale values. To do this I use a digital note program for a sketch, without aiming to achieve an ultimate solution, it is just one of many. Digital note programs each have their own pre-programmed division within a measure, which differs from Bach's flow. There I follow Bach's example, with minor adjustments if notes are being crowded out.

So beautiful and lovely.

Bach's autographs and copies after by him can be found on the website www.bach-digital.de The oboe concerto in the handwriting of Alessandro Marcello is kept in the Mecklenburg Library in the city of Schwerin. The engravings were published by Jeanne Roger in Amsterdam, undated, but the publication number makes 1716 plausible. Thank you for your compliment.

The calligraphy is done with a swan feather

Thank you Chris, that makes my day

The Joy of Calligraphy!

Thanks for the feedback, the piano will be tuned.

The fact the right pedal is stuck doesn't help either...

Thank you so much!

I buy my paper from Vliegerpapier in Amsterdam, they have a website, but the hemp paper is not listed there.

@@joostwitte5546 Thank you Sir!

Thank you for your nice comment, it makes me happy to read it!

Thank you, that's great to hear!

Thank you so much!
