It's really creative how the subject begins in the tenor voice at 1:27, only to be cut off and continue again in the soprano at 1:31. It's like the subject was teleported through the music. Truly a masterpiece of his time.
It's not that hard to modulate smoothly to the relative major since the tonic of the original key is already in the circle of 5ths. G-minor: i - iv - VII7 - III Bb-major: vi - ii - V7 - I
@@cooltravis6945 that's certainly from a theorist who had nothing better to do in his life, so he/she had to fantasize about new names for the same types of tonal changes. Obviously it is a modulation. I guess the same theorist would call Gminor to Gmajor a change of whatever. It is also a modulation, of course. BACH would not have existed if he had to read what theorists had to say about music - a bunch of losers.
@@andradas9688 sorry, I wrote this a while ago before I actually learned what it was. I was mistaken before and mis understood the definition told to me. I now know that it is a modulation.

My favorite fugue of them all. Simple, easy to understand yet very complicated. Even though I compose modern music that some people would call "degenerate", I still consider this piece: This piece is the definition of perfection.

All music is music, even the funny stupid ones. There is no such thing as degenerate music. Its either music or just noise and sadly, i suppose some people only hear noise even when listening to art, for their minds must be noisy from all the jealousy and hatred of “listening to someone else’s art”.

@@9FacedDeathEatingDeity The only thing subjective about music is the human experience. Bach's works represents the pinnacle of human achievements in music -and general.- It has objective merits none has been able to replicate and a brilliance that new music fall short of. The real question is: is it _wrong_ to enjoy some other music over Bach's? Well, is it wrong to prefer fast food over a healthy homemade meal? We can all see the appeal. Judging the content and enjoyment thereof are two separate things. Else _I'd_ have to drop modern music myself to respect Bach's superiority. Can it be trash if people enjoy it? That's a subjective merit. If you can enjoy both trash and Bach, your music taste isn't unsalvageable.
That's why Bach is ranked no.1 supreme composer, Mozart is 2nd, Beethoven is 3rd and the remaining classical composers are ranked below these 3 greats!

I love pipe organs. A good friend of mine used to to have a restaurant called "Organ Power Pizza" He had a Wurlitzer with over ten thousand pipes. And yes he would play Bach. Those were the good old days!
I discovered this because of a very amazing underated webtoon named "The black June" and honestly I'm glad I got to hear this because it's the first fugue I've heard and it's beautiful 🤭😍
My music teacher sent us a link to this song for our homework on how we describe this song and tell the difference between 17/1800's music to modern music we have today. All i can say to this piece of art is a pretty amazing masterpiece! It kinda sounded like a music that plays when you entered a haunted house in a 1900's movie but still catchy! In fact, i might think that this type of music is more better than modern music we have today (please dont get mad but half of modern music are rubbish..to my opinion). Im also more type of person who listens to "Nostalgic" songs. Good music by the way!
Stop wasting your parents money. No serious teacher would ask that question, no serious teacher would comment on how a certain music was "superior". There is no such thing in Art. But if your teacher didn't say that and this type of comparison is your own idea, please go back to lesson 1. Also, listen to all modern music and learn about it before making stupid comments about it. In any case, you're wasting your parents money.
@@KatelynNightlight what kind of answer is that? Grades? Who cannot get grades?? Do you go to school to get grades? Do you know that Beethoven was criticized for being too complex in his time?? Do you know that Bach had a hard time finding musicians to perform his music correctly because a lot of people thought his music was too hard? Again, if you are teacher is telling his/her students to judge the music of today compared to the music of the past, he/she is a horrible teacher. Aesthetics change constantly in every aspect of human creativity.
@@andradas9688 Ok what you're saying is true but here in the Philippines getting high like perfect 100% grades is hard and rare. You are lucky you don't have to get grounded or get your 'ss whooped for a B. We asians also suffer.
2019 - This song rocks! It encompasses such a range of human emotion: happiness, sadness, love, anger, exuberance, vulnerability, hope, despair, freedom, bondage, etc. Ridiculously good.
Disclaimer: I do think this video is really great and I appreciate it's been put on RUclips, honestly, so if anything this is only meant as constructive criticism and as a piece of advice for anyone who might possibly try to learn the piece using this video There's actually a mistake at 1:53 where they played an E instead of an Eb (as it's correctly written down in the sheet music). So don't get confused, Eb is actually correct. Really good video, though!
# Harmony, quote: «So don’t get confused, Eb is actually correct». It is not that easy. The explanation for the «error» is this: most organ compositions of Bach are preserved thanks to those who wrote copies, Bach’s handwritten original are lost. This fugue is known in several copies, therefore small differences occur. That means Michel Chapuis used a different printed edition than the sheet music we see in this video.
The work of a true genius and let's be honest in the 21st century we will never be graced by any other true composer like this ( all we hear these days is complete and utter crap ) !
The unique character of Bach is that he is instantly recognisable in his compositions. Shred heads to Funkmasters recognise his stuff, almost as well as classical fans. In that sense he is a true "one off" and that is a the ultimate recognition of his genius. Nobody mistakes another composer for Bach. In that regard somef people see - and dismiss him - him as a mathematician working to formulae rather than a "true" musician. Rubbish to my ears. Almost all music - certainly Western - from the 12-bar 3-chord based stuff to the more adventurous is derived from mathematical canons. People who wrote adventurous music outside that formala always get low thumbs up from You Tube viewers - and a degree of negative comment which would often amount to defamatory libel and legal action in another context. Tell me who - above the age of 15 - hasn't heard or been affected by the iconic Toccata & Fugue in Dmin - whether in a cinema watching a horror mover or on television and other media. Like him and enjoy - or if not just turn off. That's still a constitutional right to everyone listening to RUclips in every country in the world who can enjoy it. I find I can do the same thing with television that I don't like!
I like the idea of reading performance data at the end of file. I found Chapuis' name quite unexpected as I have to criticize this performance and I know Michel Chapuis as an exquisite performer. This recording brings up a sense of haste and rush that is quite different from the typical baroque dance feel which should be perceivable even in the most fiery toccatas. Compare this recording with the even faster one by Ton Koopman (watch?v=PhRa3REdozw): Koopman is fast and furious, but never hasty

And he's flying
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
First to the scene, he is a lethal machine
It's bloody April and the tide is turning
Fire at will, it is the thrill of the kill
Four in a day shot down with engines burning
Embrace the fame, red squadron leader
Call out his name: "Rote Kampfflieger"
In the game to win, a gambler rolls the dice
Eighty allies paid the price
And he's flying
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast, again, he's flying too high
He's flying higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher
Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
And the legend never dies
And he's flying
And he's flying
And he's flying
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Higher, the king of the sky
He's flying too fast and he's flying too high
Higher, an eye for an eye
The legend will never die
Bravo Maestro!
I love pipe organs. A good friend of mine used to to have a restaurant called "Organ Power Pizza" He had a Wurlitzer with over ten thousand pipes. And yes he would play Bach. Those were the good old days!
How tf am i gonna play this on trumpet
Grow more limbs
Get friends its supposed to be an orchestra
Or nvm you're a musician
Gotta use your nostrils for the 2 other trumpets
Grow 2 arms and use the 2 other trumpets with your arms and legs
Omg the world needs to see this
Espectacular, Bravo por el Maestro Bach' el mejor.
I really love this piece
I discovered this because of a very amazing underated webtoon named "The black June" and honestly I'm glad I got to hear this because it's the first fugue I've heard and it's beautiful 🤭😍
Absolute perfection!
My music teacher sent us a link to this song for our homework on how we describe this song and tell the difference between 17/1800's music to modern music we have today. All i can say to this piece of art is a pretty amazing masterpiece! It kinda sounded like a music that plays when you entered a haunted house in a 1900's movie but still catchy! In fact, i might think that this type of music is more better than modern music we have today (please dont get mad but half of modern music are rubbish..to my opinion). Im also more type of person who listens to "Nostalgic" songs. Good music by the way!
Stop wasting your parents money. No serious teacher would ask that question, no serious teacher would comment on how a certain music was "superior". There is no such thing in Art. But if your teacher didn't say that and this type of comparison is your own idea, please go back to lesson 1. Also, listen to all modern music and learn about it before making stupid comments about it. In any case, you're wasting your parents money.
Ignore the other comment. Keep doing what you're doing if that's your dream. Be happy
@@andradas9688 At least i can get grades.
@@KatelynNightlight what kind of answer is that? Grades? Who cannot get grades?? Do you go to school to get grades? Do you know that Beethoven was criticized for being too complex in his time?? Do you know that Bach had a hard time finding musicians to perform his music correctly because a lot of people thought his music was too hard? Again, if you are teacher is telling his/her students to judge the music of today compared to the music of the past, he/she is a horrible teacher. Aesthetics change constantly in every aspect of human creativity.
@@andradas9688 Ok what you're saying is true but here in the Philippines getting high like perfect 100% grades is hard and rare. You are lucky you don't have to get grounded or get your 'ss whooped for a B. We asians also suffer.
From 2:17 to 2:22 it sounds so great!Charming and happy even.
2019 - This song rocks! It encompasses such a range of human emotion: happiness, sadness, love, anger, exuberance, vulnerability, hope, despair, freedom, bondage, etc. Ridiculously good.
The bass notes totally sounded like a tuba! Music to my ears 🎧
Pequeña fuga; gigantesca composición.
Very beautiful! But... Also playing with feets? Incredibly amazing! And difficult
Disclaimer:
I do think this video is really great and I appreciate it's been put on RUclips, honestly, so if anything this is only meant as constructive criticism and as a piece of advice for anyone who might possibly try to learn the piece using this video
There's actually a mistake at 1:53 where they played an E instead of an Eb (as it's correctly written down in the sheet music).
So don't get confused, Eb is actually correct.
Really good video, though!
# Harmony, quote: «So don’t get confused, Eb is actually correct». It is not that easy. The explanation for the «error» is this: most organ compositions of Bach are preserved thanks to those who wrote copies, Bach’s handwritten original are lost. This fugue is known in several copies, therefore small differences occur. That means Michel Chapuis used a different printed edition than the sheet music we see in this video.
Man! this part is magic 1:00
This makes me want to fly a bright red plane
Yes, great tool! Very nice to practice with you.
Bach the best ever
Higher!
that change to major at 1:46 !!!
Man knows well how to change scales
And he's flying higher...
King of the sky he's flying to fast and he's flying to high
@Ω the Prussian femboy Ω AND THE LEGEND WILL NEVER DIE!! *insert a kickass piano and guitar solo*
This BWV 578 guy was something else
If bach were alive today he would be in a symphonic death metal band or something like that
This “little” fugue is the pinnacle of counterpoint in my humble opinion.
Do you know grosse fuge by beethoven?
Nice playing, Scrolling 💪
Очень трогательная тема , прекрасная фуга. Хочу писать вариации на эту тему
Yes I do, however, I don't make a penny from them. RUclips does.
Sabaton used part of this in their song "The Red Baron"
The work of a true genius and let's be honest in the 21st century we will never be graced by any other true composer like this ( all we hear these days is complete and utter crap ) !
The unique character of Bach is that he is instantly recognisable in his compositions. Shred heads to Funkmasters recognise his stuff, almost as well as classical fans. In that sense he is a true "one off" and that is a the ultimate recognition of his genius. Nobody mistakes another composer for Bach. In that regard somef people see - and dismiss him - him as a mathematician working to formulae rather than a "true" musician. Rubbish to my ears. Almost all music - certainly Western - from the 12-bar 3-chord based stuff to the more adventurous is derived from mathematical canons. People who wrote adventurous music outside that formala always get low thumbs up from You Tube viewers - and a degree of negative comment which would often amount to defamatory libel and legal action in another context. Tell me who - above the age of 15 - hasn't heard or been affected by the iconic Toccata & Fugue in Dmin - whether in a cinema watching a horror mover or on television and other media. Like him and enjoy - or if not just turn off. That's still a constitutional right to everyone listening to RUclips in every country in the world who can enjoy it. I find I can do the same thing with television that I don't like!
Blue lobster the blu-ray extended version
Could you render this in higher frame per seconds ? It would be much more pleasant to follow along
I like these videos primarily because you have a good taste in music. Few the performer choices you have made I disagreed with.
I like the idea of reading performance data at the end of file. I found Chapuis' name quite unexpected as I have to criticize this performance and I know Michel Chapuis as an exquisite performer. This recording brings up a sense of haste and rush that is quite different from the typical baroque dance feel which should be perceivable even in the most fiery toccatas. Compare this recording with the even faster one by Ton Koopman (watch?v=PhRa3REdozw): Koopman is fast and furious, but never hasty
Bravo bravo bravo
A bar and a half from the end, JSB thought "heck, I've got to finish this piece somehow..."
I will use this piece as a base for the history of my game.
l downloaded it once annd made one hour copy - crazy about this melody.
me encanta esta fuga es de las mejores que he escuchado, la escucharía sin parar
Very beautiful and helpful!....... THANK YOU
BWV 578 best version ever
