Fugue in F-sharp minor, BWV 883 from Well-Tempered Clavier Book 2
The centerpiece of Book 2 is a triple fugue in three voices, whose third subject is almost the same as the second subject of the Fugue in C-sharp minor from Book 1. If we accept the notion that this particular subject depicts the Holy Spirit, then perhaps here Bach is illustrating the Trinity - the dignified first subject as the Father, the descending second subject as the Son, the drifting third subject as the Holy Spirit - coexisting in perfect harmony. It is befitting to end the piece in bare octaves, for the three (voices) are in one.

To Picardy or not to Picardy, that is the question. Although the Picardy third is the "default" version in authoritative editions like Henle and Bärenreiter, the footnote says that A♮ is found in other sources. Somehow the Picardy third just doesn't work for me, but I can't explain why. This is perhaps the only piece in the WTC where the final chord is in dispute. May the debate and variety of ...

From a technical view, the WTC deals with various aspects of polyphony, but this prelude is the only exception. Perhaps Bach was making a statement to his critics that he was equally capable in the fashionable homophonic writing. The poignance achieved with so few notes reminds me of the saying from _Daodejing_ [1] "profound music is sparse" [2]. [1] The Western world may be more familiar with ...
Fugue in C-sharp minor, BWV 849 from Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1

The theological subtext of this triple fugue[1] is undeniable. Using the cruciform motif as the subject, with a diminished fourth leap, is daring and unsettling, but it aptly symbolizes the pain of Crucifixion. As some have argued, the second theme of running eighth notes represents the Holy Spirit. I agree with this symbolism as it can be abundantly found in Bach's sacred music (e.g. "Cum Sanc...

The lyrical and melancholic Bach is never sentimental, perhaps because of the logical construction from simple building blocks. Here the 6-note motif evokes all kinds of emotions and takes us to the highest point of B♯5 right at the golden ratio of b.25. The piece concludes with an inconspicuous cruciform motif in the tenor, subtly paving the way for the ensuing fugue. The BACH motif appears at...

A manualiter chorale prelude of the Lutheran hymn from Clavier-Übung III. The technical challenge is to maintain a smooth scale while oftentimes playing a second part in the same hand. An additional challenge for the pianist is to bring out the cantus firmus in the soprano. *Vater unser im Himmelreich, BWV 683 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)* Piano: Ruoshi Sun (2024) on CLP-785 Temperament...

It is my firm belief that one can attain a deeper understanding of Bach's music by examining his corpus, and this fugue is a great example. One year before his death, Bach completed the Mass in B minor, where the final chorus "Dona nobis pacem" is based on an augmentation of the subject of this fugue, but with a different leap interval. There the fugue starts off immediately with a stretto and ...

This is what I call the "ping-pong prelude," an imagery[1] created by the alternating down-up gesture in the left hand and the swiftness in the right hand. Regarding the tempo, I have never heard such an extreme range of choices: anywhere from Andante to Prestissimo. I don't know if Gould is the one who started it, but many pianists - established masters (Richter, Ólafsson) and young competitio...

A stretto fugue with inversion of an austere character. We saw how the Fugue in B-flat minor concluded with a succession of subject entries. Not only does it work here, but also the succession of the subject inversion immediately follows. This four-bar (bb.52-55) magical moment occurs right at the golden ratio. The counterpoint is further enriched by exploring various overlaps between the subje...

Similar to the Prelude in C minor, the didactic nature of the piece cannot be more obvious in the A section. It is a lesson on hand equality via invertible counterpoint. The B section begins almost right at the golden ratio. 此前奏曲在黃金比例前是通過轉換對位來練習雙手平等。寓教於藝，莫過於此。 *Prelude in C-sharp major, BWV 848 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)* Piano: Ruoshi Sun (2024) on CLP-785 Temperament: Werckmeister

The entire WTC contains only two fugues in _stile antico_ (ancient style), the B-flat minor from Book 1 and this reverential piece. Both are stretto fugues. Here Bach uses the diminution which first appears at the golden ratio of b.26. *Fugue in E major, BWV 878 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)* Piano: Ruoshi Sun (2024) on CLP-785 Temperament: Werckmeister

I call this the "pastoral prelude." Its warmth is like the morning sun during springtime. One can hear the birds chirping in the ornaments and feel a sudden yet gentle breeze at the golden ratio around b.14. This prelude is one of only two pieces in the entire WTC 1 with a plagal cadence. *Prelude in E major, BWV 854 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)* Piano: Ruoshi Sun (2024) on CLP-785 Temp...

Thank You!
Love the French and English Suites . . . . This is a fine performance.
Wow, that’s wonderful Ruoshi さん♪ I also love this III. Allegro, Brandenburg concert No. 5 in D Major. So beautiful melodies. I want to play it too :)
Wonderfully played!❤
Pleasant piece to hear
When do we get the performance where you play it in tempo? I cant wait :D
Well done！ So beautiful !
On piano I find it an amazing fugue, more so than on an original instrument. With other fugues I prefer organ and others harpischord.
你在一个月之内弹完了我这辈子的目标QAQ，I-d#，I-c#，II-f#，我以为暑假足够练习I-d#的 QAQ。但是这一首真的弹的太好了
@@user-zj2bu5gt1d 過獎過獎！嚴格來說我是在一個月內上傳了這三首曲子，但從第一次彈共花了逾二十年時間。只要堅持不懈，我相信你一定能做到的！
First time hearing this piece And oh my god! It’s fabuleous! Loving your works btw. Subbed to ya
Thanks for your encouragement! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very delicate and precise Bravo!
Hello, fellow violinist (not professional only by hobbie), I wanted to ask why in the eleventh bar the top note is an F, but in all the recordings of violin I found they play an E. Why was that difference, by the way I played in my violin watching that PDF and I also was confused why it was a different version in that part.
Beautifully played, but why no embellishments? When I studied organ I was taught to always add a trill if there's a dotted rhythm before a cadence as in bar 23. You might consider it. You also missed the trill and mordant in bar 73. I get that this piece has a certain profundity and embellishments could disturb that emotional experience. I'm not suggesting you over embellish (Ton Koopman?), but those two could add to your performance. The first was expected in Baroque times and the second is notated in your score (and also in mine). As it is your performance is fine,... but just a bit disappointing.
@@stevechandler8098 Thanks for your compliment and feedback! I don't know exactly why I dropped the ornament in b.73. I think when I first learned this piece 20 years ago it was already difficult enough without the ornament. A subconscious reason that I didn't pick it up later (now that you prompted me to think about it) is perhaps it might sound a bit out of place or intrusive on the piano, being the only ornament in the piece. However, I mentally picture myself playing this piece on an organ with muted stops where this ornament could blend in effortlessly. I will certainly try it out in the future. Good suggestion for b.23. A similar observation applies to the Fugue in F-sharp minor from Book 2. In some editions a trill is added to all the dotted eights of the second subject. In most recordings I've heard none of them are executed. In my own recording (just uploaded yesterday) I actually added a few and an unmarked long trill near the end. So I am aware of ornamentation and I sometimes add more than what is written (but other times I may choose to omit the written ornaments), especially when it comes to repeated sections as in my videos on the French Suites. It's just for this particular fugue that I never thought about it. Thanks again!
Здравствуйте, Руоши. Очень рад слышать вас снова. Три голоса и три темы одновременно, очень религиозная тема. Благодарю вас за прекрасное исполнение. Я прошу простить меня, но второй раз я прослушал на скорости 0,75 и мне показалось, что на мой скромный взгляд, мне понравилось еще больше. Я, скорее всего, ошибаюсь, но третья тема зазвучала по новому. Еще раз простите меня. Я всегда жду новых видео от вас.
Please don't apologize! We all have our different preferences. Thank you for listening and for your continued support!
Triple bravo 😉

I am disappointed that "The Orchard Music" has rejected my dispute and claims that the copyright is theirs. If you click on "more" in the description you'll see the "source" of the copyrighted content, a recording by Hyekyung Lee. *It doesn't require professional ears to tell these are completely different recordings!* I am submitting an appeal, but if it is still rejected, the video will be taken down and I will receive a copyright strike.
This issue has been resolved.
Beautiful.
I've heard different associations with the three themes, still theological. The first theme is the cross. the eighth note theme is the crown of thorns and the repeated notes is the nails being driven into his wrists.
Wonderful played ❤ your friend - See you soon - i love This piece ❤
Very beautiful!❤

Great job!!!
Это космос...

Bravo! Such a cool rythm. Thanks for putting the sheet music alongside as well, it really helps! ❤
Приветствую вас, Руоши. Очень рад услышать вас снова. Это редкое не полифоническое произведение от господина Баха невероятной красоты, мне очень понравилось как вы это сделали, задумчиво и размеренно, настоящее волшебство. Фуга после этой прелюдии, одна из моих любимых. Главное, чтоб она была не в быстром темпе, тогда получится насладиться каждым созвучием, уменьшением и разрешением... Особенно, на мой взгляд, басовая тема украшает всё переплетение голосов. Благодарю вас и всего самого хорошего.
😍😍😍👑 utterly sublime!!
❤ i love this ❤ See you soon ❤🎉 Wonderful
Very well done - Thank you!
What is the difficulty level of this piece?
#kamala2024
Ученые головы говорят, что такое не возможно. Но господин Бах доказал невозможное. Чистое наслаждение. Спасибо вам, Руоши, мне очень понравилось. Мне не может не нравится Его музыка.
Thank you! I have listened to Richter's recording before and I thought my interpretation would be unfavorable to you. I'm glad you liked this very different approach!
@@RuoshiSunfor a long time my favorites were Richter's and Samuel Feinberg's interpretations. But your's quite different is very interesting for me, new tempo shows new contrasts and accents. Thank you!
The symbolism in this piece is staggering, it really changes your perception of art the first time you read into it. What can we compare in our modern world? It's like a sacred jewel of a quality and craftsmanship that we have no reference for. All we can do is stare in awe and maybe tell some people about it, lots are unaware.
You asked a deep question. Indeed, what do we have in our modern world? Money worship, consumerism, rise of the AI overlords... In all seriousness, we probably still have the Platonic existence of truth, but even then not everybody agrees with such a notion. For timeless music such as this, I think one should still at least have a sense of reverence, even if one no longer believes in the symbolism.
Flawless as usual 👑😊
Thank you for your encouragement! I can't say that I have attained perfection, but I am improving every day.
Wonderful ❤

Здравствуйте, Руоши Сун. Нет слов, чтобы описать эту красоту. Мне всегда казалось, что она должна быть чуть-чуть медленнее, для полного раскрытия всех гармонических украшений. Но я могу ошибаться.
Вы ошибаетесь, возможно, желая получить фортепианную интерпретацию, нравящуюся именно Вам. Во времена Баха за украшениями стояла утилитарная функция продления звучания (на клавесине звук затухает быстрее, чем на фортепиано), а не "работы" с гармонией.
Yes, I imagine I would play it a bit slower in a concert hall. My piano is very dry and it is difficult to sustain the lines. (Reverb is added afterwards.) If that was too fast for you... you may not like the fugue which is being uploaded as we speak. ;) But as usual I will write a description to explain my approach.
Superb!
Great Job!!!
Wonderful Performance - See you soon my friend ❤❤ you Play Beautiful
Ох как же это красиво. Очень необычный акустический эффект. Это очень интересно.
