    In this recording I used the 4th harmonic pedal in resonance position only. The harmonic pedal was invented by Denis de La Rochefordière.

    Bach was a big fan of D minor. The D minor prelude and fugue from books 1 and 2 are all memorable.

    Bravo! I like especially your interpretation of the Fugue. It’s always a bit of a puzzle to have triplets with straight sixteenth notes...but, and I hope I have this correct, the WTC is-paraphrase-the “Piano/Harp/Cem Bible” according to Schumann. Very inspirational.

      Bach and Beethoven were good for the opposite reasons. Bach may be the one who kept to the form, while Beethoven is known for doing the exact opposite, which literally lead to the romantic era.
      I agree with Lavender. I personally think Beethoven was greater than Bach.

    Bach's name adds up numerically to 14. The top d of the rising notes of the 1st bar of the fugue is the 14th note. The descending chromatic passage then spells Bach's name twice in different combinations. It's fascinating how he structured and embedded so many ideas so artfully whilst creating beautiful music at the same time.

Do you play slowly then rise up to the desired result with aa metronome? And do you stop to fix any uncertainties before continuing....THANKS :)

    0:32 - 0:34 (watched at the speed of 0.25): it looks to me that there is an error in the 3rd beat of the measure 15. Instead of A3 G3, A3 C#4 was played. I was watching in the slow motion to see what fingering Paul uses. Of course, this is just nitpicking and I value very much what Paul is doing!

    Oh-this is so wonderful showing the music and your playing! Great playing. I was curious as my version does not have most of the very important mordents(book1 and 2 /Dover pub).Also was curious about them being 1/2 steps and why the music does not show the flat

    • @shreyaskaushal1657
      @shreyaskaushal1657 5 лет назад +2

      Hi Sandy. I don't know how well i can explain this. But my Henle edition also does not show any flats for the mordents. The critical commentary states that all mordents (except in Measure 1) in BWV 875 were added by Anna Magdalena Bach later. Also, no original autograph survives for this piece.
      So maybe playing the mordents half step (semitone apart) in this piece became a convention over the years :D

      @@sandydileo5961 Ah! Yes, bars 37-38 were added between 1742 and 1744, when Bach decided to revise the prelude (according to the commentary in Henle).
      If you look at bar 37, the 3rd beat in treble clef and the last semi quaver (sixteenth note) of beat 2 left hand are flattened, because the B on second beat right hand has a natural mark.
      So the two b flats are there (in bass and treble clefs) to ensure that the earlier natural is ignored!

      Keep on coping, pedal in Bach is usable and even necessary sometimes. He's playing on a piano, not a harpsichord, so he can make use of tools that harpsichordists don't have, because harpsichordists use tools WE don't have. How will you make legato when it's impossible for the fingers to do so?
