I did not think it possible to become emotional during an instructional video, but Bach moves me in unpredictable ways. How can something so seemingly cold and technical as a fugue also be so emotionally rich and expressive? If God has a voice, it is in this music. No matter your particular genre as a composer, to not respect and study Bach is to hobble your technical progress and limit the growth of your soul. Well done, Mr. Belkin.
I couldn't agree more. Part of the problem is that these things are too often taught in ways that are so detached from what most of us love about music. That's why I want to do the Analysis for Composers series next year!
I can understand the detailed analysis, measure by measure, but the hardest part for me is building the entire structure, creating the natural flow. It's very easy to end up with a patchwork while trying all the sophisticated techniques. I composed one simple fugue(well, it modulates into 12 different keys, but still not as complex), drained, and can't really come up with the next piece. It is extremely hard to imagine the blue print in my head.
Thank you so much for sharing with us this entire series. And 547 is my all time favorite fugue! What sound library do you use? Especially the vocals and strings from the previous lessons sound fantastic!
I do talk about those things in my book Musical Composition: Craft and Art. And I will have lots more to say in the series of videos I'm starting next year, Analysis for Composers.
Hello, Alan Belkin! Would you be interested in analyzing works by living composers? We need a sister network which analyzes compositions. We'd love to work with you!

@@DeeCeeHaich This is not a place for trolling or insulting people. Take it elsewhere.
Thanks for the video! It is my contention that Beethoven used this fugue's subject as the motif for the "Emperor" concerto.
Thank you for all lessons.Expect your new lessons for Orchestration and Music analysis...

Realized how much math rock borrows from fugues.
