- Bach, "Little" Fugue in G minor, BWV 578, performed on organ by Stephen Malinowski, with an animated graphical score.
FAQ
Q: How can this be played with just two hands?
A: It can't. It's played on the organ, and one of the melodic lines is played by the feet, on a pedalboard. Here's a video showing what that's like:

Just like it very much!
Quel chef-d'œuvre. Cette pièce exprime bien toute la grandeur de Bach et a un aspect singulier de peur mélangée à de la gaieté.
Those first 15 seconds does something to my soul I can’t describe
For me it's always when the second voice comes in I get chills
For me It's 1:28
Outlines a G minor chord?
@Arthur Callaghan if you like that, you might consider looking up "The Song of the Sea" from Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva. It basically builds off that melody
@@charismajyyks or maybe The Red Baron
by god, it must be insanely difficult to get all that counterpoint in the right order....
four different voices and they all intertwine together so perfectly!!
It's what the art of counterpoint is all about.
Yep.
***** Eh, you don't need to follow them all the time, just use a ton of non chord tones.
I believe he means chords that don't belong to the triad, i.e. G and A, D and C ect.
dominoes37 This is rather formal music, that follows an intricate set of rules that are specific enough to guide the composer while still allowing considerable range for creativity. Those rules, once fully understood, make counterpoint much easier to write than the uninitiated would appreciate.
In a way, it's a bit like computer programming: the building up of an arbitrary level of complexity by the accumulation and interaction of simpler units. I think that's one reason why code nerds have a tendency to groove on baroque music in general and Bach in particular.
I learned those rules in high school, and was able to produce pieces of considerable complexity using them. They weren't very *good* pieces, because I was practising the theory of it rather than the art, and while I had considerable melodic talent, I didn't have the skill or experience to produce not merely counterpoint, but *beautiful* counterpoint. There's a huge difference between technical skill and the ability to create beauty; I had the first but not the second.
This video is 10 years old and it's still my go to video for teaching students what a fugue is.
The fact that only one guy is playing this whole thing is just nuts.
Playing a four-voice fugue is somewhat analogous to juggling four balls. When you're juggling, you only pay attention to one ball at a time --- when you're catching/throwing it. The rest of the time, the ball is just executing the trajectory you gave it. When you're playing contrapuntal music, you tell your fingers what to do about the next few notes, and then you move on to attend to other notes in the future (while your fingers automatically/unconsciously "execute the trajectory" of the instructions you recently gave them). So, while the effect is continuously polyphonic, the player's attention is directed to one thing at a time, with the continuousness being provided by pre-learned habits executing automatically.
smalin holy cow. So basically it’s all just subconscious all the time?
There's no way to be conscious of that much at once. I can sightread contrapuntal keyboard music; even in that, most of what's going on physically is automatic/unconscious.
smalin that’s amazing!
It's actually a lot like watching somebody else do it (though physically, it does feel like you're doing it).
Hear how the subject hops around keys.
0:05 A (G)
0:20 B (D (Interval of a fifth in G minor))
0:40 A (G)
0:55 B (D)
1:18 A (G (The sensation of returning from the fifth back down to the root is a satisfying musical phenomenon. This grounds the song and prepares for our next movement into other intervals))
1:44 C (B♭ (Interval of a minor third in G minor))
2:08 C (B♭)
2:38 D (C (Interval of a fourth in G minor))
3:18 A (G (Ending in a plagal manner where we started, G minor. This is significant because plagal cadences (4th to root "amen" cadence) are related to Christian music, and Bach was known to be extremely Christian))
Finally finishing with a resplendent G major chord. Bach signs at the end of all his works, Soli Deo Gloria - "Glory to God alone". We can hear him clearly sign this piece musically in the same manner when looking at the subject within the Fugue. His last two chords are a typical 5-1 resolution.
Lets take a look at the unrelated filling between the subjects of the fugue. I like to think of it as jelly filling, because its not the doughnut, but filler that is sort of used as an intermission / connector.
We note that for the first three bits of filling are all generally moving downward, giving us a feeling that it shouldn't end soon.
1:09
1:58
2:21
But for the last piece of filling...
2:50
We find that it dips down, but then soars upwards, leading into the final resolution.
Another thing of note - for each of the A sections where the subject presents itself starting on the G note:
Youll notice that at each of these sections, the farther you progress through the work, the subject goes down in pitch : It begins in G in the top voice in the beginning, but finishes with the subject being played by the pedals (low pitch) in the end.
Dark_T this helps so much thank you
here is your like my good man
You're doing God's work, I respect that
Inmense thanks, the way you analyze the piece is phenomenal and very clear! I enjoyed it so much that I would give you five likes if I coud. I just wish I could find this kind of analysis made for other pieces as well, it would be priceless to me.
you basically did my homework for me thanks
This fugue was stuck in my head and took me FOREVER to find it. So relieved.
What is wrong with that?
Same here! I heard this in high school is a class and it has always struck me as would be a sick rap beat
Same here
This little fugue is HUGE
The Red Baron but it's just the intro
Well these notes are flying higher as the song progresses
@@thebigjsjs6705 I see what you did there
I cannot get over this piece. Literally this ONE piece of music has made me see classical, baroque, and romantic music in a whole new light.... I used to struggle through the sheet music but being able to see it set out in this manner has made me see the sheer genius in the way he made the pieces fit. My appreciation is lifted and I am humbled v.v
Why didn't you see this earlier?
I guess, because classical music (or baroque, if you want) is just not popular today anymore. I remember telling I like to listen to classical music in my free time to my friends, and they were really surprised and couldn't understand what I like about this “old and boring“ music.
Likewise I cannot understand people hurting their brain cells by listening to music like Rap, where I sometimes think the goal of the song is too get as many swearing words per minute as possible.

Holy shit, that part where it goes from major back to minor during that whole section from 2:20 to 2:44 is one of the best bits of music ive ever heard. Those chord progressions are so cool sounding, and really modern. Like it could come out of a game or movie :D
That bit must have been as close as you could get to feeling the glory of God.
It's reminiscent of a beat drop haha
It's satisfying to hear the music 'swing'
Truly the epitome of incredible musical genius...There will NEVER be another Johan Sebastian Bach.
I may be too optimistic but I pray to all the gods that may exist that you are wrong. Why can't we have a new Bach. We didn't deserve the first one but they may have mercy on us.
True that
The reason we don't have another like bach is because society has too many toys to play with. If we didn't have tv, radio, phonograph, tape deck, CD, players, computers, telephones, cellphones, smartphones, Computer games, video games and the list goes on Back in Bach's time they played an instrument and wrote music for passtime. We now have too much to occupy our time. I took piano lessons but the stereo played better than I did. We just live in a different era. Even self playing instruments were replaced with the phonograph.
Bach the Ultimate composer of the whole universe.
Ron B I would hate to think this way. I’d bet that when the wheel came out, cavemen worldwide thought that it was just a waste of time and that it was actually counter-productive. It takes less creativity to wheel something across the cave when you could drag it just as well. Wheel is ruining our cavechildren!
This video shows the mathematical and musical genius of Bach. I don’t know how he made all of that fit together perfectly.
To understand it, study counterpoint.
The dude literally saw sounds... sound was his primary. This is the most amazing song. I couldn’t agree with you more.
Btw... I see sounds too. Hope you take a listen... (I’m no Bach tho haha)
@@smalin But still, no body come close to the genius of Bach.
this is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I ever heard.
I remember the first time I heard Bach's "little fugue," it was used on a public radio program back in the mid 90's in the Bay Area. I was like, what is that music!
I went to a record store to search it out. loved Bach ever since.
This is one of Bach’s most phenomenal masterpieces! I
Never get tired of listening to this because of how brilliantly this was written
Considering how many pieces Bach wrote (over a thousand), that's quite a statement!
3:04 is such a cool gesture to see visualized. It’s as if the tenor is pushing the alto and soprano higher and higher, yet they have nowhere to go! That’s okay, Bach has it covered 😎
Beginning at 3:00 or so is like an EDM drop. Slowly pushing higher and higher then coming in with the super low part
Starts so modestly and simpe and becomes so complex and enchanting without effort. One of my favourite pieces by Bach. Magical!
...thing I like is you watch every note AND listen as it's played...I used to sit with the headphones on and the sheet music in front of me and follow along...it's amazing how much you actually miss unless you read the music as it's played...I miss those days...
Smalin, I watch this video very often, there are some days I will randomly start singing this piece and have the urge to rewatch your video, today was that day and after a couple of listens I will go to your great fugue video. Thanks for your work!
:-)
When this was featured in MegaMan Legends, I had no idea this was an actual classical song. Here, I thought it was just done for the game and the game’s musical team was just THAT gifted.
Me but with sly 3
LG actually arranged and remixed this for three ringtones.
0:55 Baroque bass is insane
yes, mi fav part
that transition into major, it gets me every time.
That's called "tierce de picardie", and it's common in renessaince and baroque music.
When is that?

bach's fugues are always so perfect. this one in particular is almost like a tutorial on how to write one. what a genius he was
My grandfather used to sing this to me when I went to bed. He died recently, and this brings back so many memories.

When my third and fourth hands grow I’ll finally be able to play this!
well this is meant to be played on an organ sooooo... you only need two hands and a foot, so assuming you're not phisically handicapped you're good to go!
And your 3rd and 4th feet too, don't forget the pedalboard
You'll need like two or three more brains to process everything at once too
I wish this animated graphical system had existed when I was learning how a fugue is constructed all those years ago. It would have saved me a lot of time. Fortunately, I can use these videos for my students now.
a week ago one of my music teachers at my school showed me this and i cant stop listening to this

The modulation out of the major section at 2:22 is one of the best modulations I've ever heard anywhere
For me, listening to Bach over my lifetime, I've found MANY of the best (you name it, if it's musically related) I've ever heard anywhere...so yeah, I'm with ya brother! ;-)
I love this visual. You can see the musical paths of the colors, each one telling a story of it's own, but always returning to that common fugue home theme.

14 rising steps at 3:05 to symbolise the 14 stages of the cross, plus B+A+C+H, my god Bach's genius is incomprehensible.
Really? Hmmm

What are the 14 stages of the cross?

It's hard to fathom the brilliance of Bach.
Not really. You just have to try.
2013-in Music Appreciation class in college, I heard this song, and it was played so beautifully that I imagined a gothic masquerade ball with jesters and lots of colors, and a budding romance. That image, and this song, has stayed with me for 7 years now :) I love it

When I was a kid, we had an NES game called Bible Adventures. It wasn't officially licensed, and was in a weird blue cartridge. But if you beat the Noah's ark part of the game, the victory cutscene played the most amazing music. I had no idea what it was, but would put in hours of work capturing animals just to hear a little bit of that wonderful 8-bit music. Years later I heard Bach's Little Fugue, and realized that was the music that had enraptured me from first listen as a child.

For anyone who fears fugues, this and Bach’s the Great fugue are two very accessible pieces. This one in particular has a simple line of melody that is very easy to discern as it runs through the prismatic manipulations of Bach’s masterful composition. I truly treasure these two pieces.
The great VISUAL expression for FUGUE!!! That helps me a lot. Thanks so much smalin :)

Something immensely satisfying and complete about a fugue, especially by Bach of course.
Wonderfully mesmerizing visual interpretation. Am I the only one who gets chills every time it returns to that main theme, even if it's just in the background? The power of Bach...

Legend has it that another organist challenged Bach to see who was better. Apparently, the guy heard Bach warming up, and left town that night so that Bach wouldn't completely embarrass him in front of the entire town.
This is a fucking banger and nobody can change my mind
It's been a banger for me since I first heard it around 10 years of age. I'm now 51. It will never not be a banger for me -- I'm a sucker for fugues, and this is one of the archetype pieces. .

This song has been stuck in my head for the past few days...
HELP
Give it 5 years...It still won't
I'm here because I cant play or read music and this piece I heard in high school still swims in my head, and because Bach is extremely in my musical life, as well as Baroque and Medieval. I'm absorbing the vibe Bach put out with this unmatched fugue, in other words, I'm listening. Thank you, Johann
Nobody writes things like this anymore because they can't. I remember listening to this as a kid and when it first hits that low G before it goes to major I got goosebumps. I still do as a middle aged guy. Ive heard this played in a church and it sounds badass
Actually, that's not true. There are people who could write things like this if they wanted, but they figure "Bach did that already, and I'm interested in doing something else." If you listen to the music I've posted by Stepháne Delplace, you'll see what I mean. Another example is Aaron Andrew Hunt, who is interested in irregular meters; if he chose to use conventional meters, it would sound a lot closer to Bach.
@@smalin do you think there are a lot of people out there who could compose music as well as Bach did?

I'm glad to hear it helps.
So you are the one who did this. Thank you. It's awesome.
Smalin, I really appreciate all of the videos you upload. Not only are they visually stunning, but are also have tremendous sound quality. Especially in the case of pipe organ music, sound quality is very hard to master. Your videos have ruined me for other pipe organ recordings!
I have a mixed reaction to your compliment. The organ music I perform and/or assemble myself is not from real instruments, but is created synthetically. The sound can therefore be very clear, but isn't exactly like a live recording from a real instrument in a church. The "ruined me for other pipe organ recordings" reaction works both ways: people who have listened to lots of real organs (either in person or via recordings) tend not to like my recordings. You will find their negative comments on my videos (especially my first, 2005 Toccata and Fugue in D minor video).
Listening to contrapuntal organ music is very demanding, because the sound of the organ and the nature of reverberation in a church make it difficult to discern the individual voices. In my recordings, I can make it much easier, by using different stops for each voice and limiting the amount of reverberation. For people with more experience listening to organ music, the clarity of my recordings is not necessary, and sounds artificial.
As a person straddling the two points of view, I would recommend you not give up on real recordings, because your ability to hear them (and thus your enjoyment of them) will increase with experience.
Maybe my favourite of all Bach's opening subjects. Sounds so legendary.
