This video is a tremendous help, glad you played at a slow pace.
Thanks for your positive feedback, Lou Jr
Thanks Jane - without this video, I would not be able to learn this Fugue.
What a coincidence. Just yesterday I promised Adam that I’ll add the score on top for him. Working on it now.
Thanks Darling! So Useful as usual! Love to You! 🙏🙏🙏
I studied the Prelude 1 with your tutorial, I think one year ago, and now I can play it very well. Thank you very much for that. Since that time, I studied other musics, but Today I’ve started to study Fuga 1, and I’m here again to practice with your tutorial. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Brazil.
Happy for your progress. Enjoy the Fuga, and greetings to you in Brazil.
Thank you. I'm learning this on my own and didn't know if I kept the sharps through the measure. Thanks for playing it slow so I could follow the positions. You are awesome!
Thanks for your positive feedback, Matthew. You’re using this tutorial exactly how I intended - mainly for note-checking.
@@janepianotutorials any other practices/pieces you might suggest to get better with two hand coordination?
@@BW_Crunch_MB the Czerny op.599 exercises are much easier than this Fugue. you’ll be able to speed through the opus. They start at level 1 and end around level 4. Made tutorials as a continuation of my sight-reading series. Do you play scales and arpeggios? those use both hands and are invaluable for building technique.
@@janepianotutorials ok! Thank you for that one. I'm looking into that today. I'll check out your video(s) too. And definitely, I practice scales everyday. Currently on Bf minor(really like the contrary scales, but I work on all of them) almost at the end and going to start again on the circle of 5th. Thanks again Jane. I appreciate you so much!
Among the most difficult you've uploaded whew :0 i should be tackling this full on in a few months. time to rewatch it 200 times over :D!!!!!
Really? This fugue should not be that difficult. Must be the way I played it, gives the impression of pulling teeth.
Jane Lolololololl no u played it quite well Jane. i avoid fugues from the wtc in general because i'm overly particular about how i want to interpret them. always hoping for "more" re the majority of interpretations out there. i know it's Bach, and purists hate interpretations that are too wet or too rhythmically charged, really anything more risque than Gould , but i like 'em on the edge. there's tons of choices to get that atmosphere..nearly everything can be tweaked just so, into that perfect temperature porridge for picky Bear No. 3 (me!? :p) It takes some time - much more time than i've got with my full plate of Chopin and al for now Plus, it is a difficult set in every way. if u feel comfortable with these, you have developed strong fundamentals! probably from all that uploading :D!
Already have tons of ideas tho! and i really like baroque so i'll probly take this on at some not too distant point! (it's already treacherously difficult in my head haha :)) honestly a bit overwhelmingly so). Bravos and kudos for the more than adequate upload. And in the least, Dental work accompaniment: checked!
You clearly understand this form very very well. Thank tou this is a huge help to me. God bless! 🖤💪🏿💯🥰💕
Glad it was helpful!
Why is the metronome on if you aren't following it?
@victorffs11 sorry, requests list too long, on hold till next year. please follow request instructions (profile link) if you submit a request later. good luck.
I am starting this peace right now and I thank you for this video which I am sure will be very helpful to me :)
Good luck with it!
You are a gift thank you so much
aw... you're welcome
Thank you it was of great help.
You're welcome, glad it helped.
God bless you Jane
Francisco Diaz thank you, Francisco
I have to learn this for a recital. This video guide will help alongside studying the sheet music.
TheRandomGamerDude good luck with your recital!
I'm taking it one measure at a time! This is not going to be easy but i've surprised myself before. :)
Not sure what fingering method I should use. I'm using several videos of this piece for guidance but the fingering is not the same in either one. I guess I'll just find what's comfortable. :P
Fingering depends on individual hand structure. that is the reason editions vary. it is definitely okay to adjust given fingering to suit our hands. search "fingering" on my website to read more on the subject :)
Merci pour cette vidéo...
You’re welcome ☺️
Fugues are usually harder than preludes. Tough to bring out all the voices.
The metronome not being followed was alittle distracting but this video was SOOOOO helpful! Keep it up!! Thanks.
+Michael Katopodes Thanks, I'm getting better at following the metronome now :)
+Jane but honestly the video helped so much! I'm a piano performance major and I couldn't get this for the life of me! Thanks!
Oh my, I never expected a piano major to use my humble tutorials. Thanks for your vote of confidence, and good luck with your studies.
I'm a piano performance major as well with a big audition coming up to transfer to university and I chose this as one of my audition pieces, but I just couldn't figure out the fingerings to save my life. Luckily I live in a very technical era because your youtube video is saving me from my floundering!! Thank you soooooo much for making a tutorial that's slow!!
Nice to hear from you, Sacer. Good luck with your university audition! would love to know where you wind up attending
¡Thanks!❤
you're welcome
Pretty nice tutorial))
I've just bought so-called Urtext WTC book - sheet as it was initially written by Bach, without any editor's fingering etc. Looks like it's gonna big difficult for me to play it through, since I'm a beginner and needed tutorial already at the first fugue))
Thanks, Mator. Glad you desire to learn these great works. Other than the 1st prelude, students usually do not play these WTC pieces until their 5th year, after the 2 & 3 part inventions. Like Urtext editions, they are well done. I myself prefer no fingering to following an editor's. Try to fit in scale/arpeggio practice each day. Those build technique and help with fingering. Have fun learning piano!
Jane thanks so much for you support!
Thank you so much! This is one of my favourite pieces and I was taught about fugues with it. I have tried to learn to play it but with no success.
Would it be possible to have a version with the notes as well?
Thanks for all your great work 🙂
Adam, giving note names will ruin you forever. Instead, study my EASY sight reading lessons. You’ll identify all the notes within weeks, or even days. I mean it ! Good luck deciding 😊
@@janepianotutorials
Thanks for your reply. I meant with the sheet music 🙏🏼
@@adami1202 Oh. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I will add the score for you :)
@@janepianotutorials WOW! :)
Thanks
awesome.
Thanks!
you're welcome, Skyy
Jesus, I’m running out of fingers practicing this fugue.
Practice one short section at a time. Your fingers will adjust 😊
😁😆😉🙃
Jane, don't mind the critics. There are people who manage to find something wrong or dislike the performances of Rubinstein, Gould, Arrau, Pollini, Lisitsa. So, let them be what they are... without stupids there wouldn't be smart people.
Thanks, IM. You are right...
nice

I can play the first prelude but this makes my head hurt ! Perhaps I need to practice some other pieces first .
I always found fugues much more difficult than the preludes
