    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.

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.

      @@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.

    It 's not a coincidence that Bach wrote it in the morning- time - it suits so well to start living with it. You can feel how all senses gets a wake up call. This fugue works like a big magnetic, little by little you loose gravity.That G- minor fugue drives your mind into the highest heights, like the rising sun. Polyphonic , harmonic -unique - leaves no one and nothing behind.

    Man and machine and nothing there in between
    The flying circus and a man from Prussia
    The sky and a plane, this man commands his domain
    The western front and all the way to Russia
    Death from above, you're under fire
    Stained red as blood, he's roaming higher
    Born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
    That's where the legend will arise
    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

    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.

    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!

      @geiryvindeskeland7208 3 года назад +1

      # 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.

  • @briansimmonds7250
    @briansimmonds7250 4 года назад

    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!

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
