Such a "happy" fugue - he's really captured the spirit. I especially love the way he brings out the syncopations in the countersubjects(?) (It's been a while since counterpoint 101, LOL!)
@@mengkaotseng8105 That's true. I was only pointing out that his style was very similar to Glenn Gould's. I don't use it as a compliment for just anybody.
Very nicely played, bravo! I have listen also to his Prelude+Fugue #2 which he plays superbly. He picks out the different tunes very adroitly and musically (and I am a 'cellist, I have a high rating of musicality over simple virtuosity). As for speed, it doesn't need to be that fast but it is OK, he is not racing like some pianists do, he is PLAYING fast. If it sounds like a race, listen again. Body posture is criticised by some people. Musically it is not important - if it helps him to feel the music, it's fine; his Osteopath might have a different opinion, of course!
This is great but he's hunching his back playing the piano, and like his knees are not even past the piano. Like isn't his back gonna hurt? Still very well played.
Just fantastic. What a treat to ears. i am a college student who started to practice prelude. it's a simple tune I could memorize the line in a month but it is so difficult to play smooth. I wonder even with next 10 years of constant practice I would be able to play like this. Your Fuga, the hands are like two different creatures which are perfectly in harmony with each other I just forgot breathing. I really really loved your playing. thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful thing with us.
Riyo Murata UHHH not to be offensive but ur in COLLAGE?!!??!!? I'm still in gr6 I think ur probs playing soooo well, I think dis song is waaaaaay to fast for me XD
Cool so you're working on these tunes at 6th grade that's very impressive :) When I was your age, I spent a lot of time for playing volleyball for I wanted to be in national team in Japan. I ended up giving it up because I am too short. At your age probably I even couldn't play Fur Elise. I came to US for studying and fell in love with Jazz, so I'm back to play piano again :) My dream is to be able to play Graceful Ghost by Williams Malcom ;) Keep up your work! It's wonderful a person as young as you are already up to these pieces!
Riyo Murata I bet ur pretty good at volleyball, I'm also very short for my age I'm 6th grade, but I look like I'm in 3rd grade. Keep going, you are still doing very good for ur age!!!😉😉
Me gusta interpretado más lento y expresivo, no tan rápido, pero eso es muy personal. La segunda parte la veo más como una cadencia organistica,. La fuga es una maravilla
Lol calm down guys, it’s not that hard of a piece. I learned it in 6th grade. I’d much rather play this Bach piece than the Chopin I’m working on right now
To all the critics here, esp. Hotblack, since his comment is the longest: First, please post your own video where you play this piece, to show us the perfect execution. Second, this guy is playing really good and in tempo. The 2nd part of the prelude sounds a bit too romantic to me and I can agree with this part of the critique. But apart than that, the guy plays Bach really well (check out his other videos) and is an outstanding musician, that I would place really high in my personal ranking. Also, he is pretty close to Glenn in some parts, but with his own feeling. So, overall: deep respect! Carry on and don't let frustrated people to pull you down.
Late response and of course the other guy is right. The beauty of Bach is that these days there are so many possible interpretations of when and when not to roll so do what feels natural to you
This is years later ik, but there's an ad libitum at the chord parts and the scales after them. And the Bach WTC Preludes were considered improvisational pieces, where you don't have to follow the score perfectly.
I can play the prelude now and I just started learning the fugue.. I notice there are three parts in the fugue and I’m just like HOW DO YOU PLAY 3 PARTS I DONT HAVE 3 HANDS
Some fugues have 4-5 voices so if you think that you would need a hand for each voice, that would be saying that even a duet couldn't play bachs fugue.
A briljant technique! but is it all music? It's only a question. I hear several pianists playing Bach as if they play etudes from Czerny or other briljant piano-composers. Where is the natural music? What is the musical idea? That's my question. It cannot be speed but something else...It's also not a competition in speed...is it not?
You have a point. Lately, pianists have been trying to emerge by cultivating and hence showing off their technique. But piano is more than virtuosism...
Playing fast doesn't mean they're showing off. If you didn't like it, that's a different matter. Performers in general tend to play fast because they are anticipating the notes more than the listener.
Not my favourite rendition albeit I feel disappointed when reading rude distasteful comments which don't belong to a distinguished audience such as it should be when it comes to JSB's sublime works.
Well,eventually all the songs will graduallu get harder. So, ARCT would be even more challenging then. That's why they put this song in here because it prepares you foe the even harder songs in ARCT I guess. But, this can be played slightly slower than the way he is playing it.
This is music ... finished as no music is ever finished. Displace one note... and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase, and the structure would fall. Replace the pianist and the whole charm would vanish!
Everything about this is weird. The first thing that I noticed the way that he was sitting. He's sitting so far back from the piano that he literally has to reach with his whole body to play. There aren't any advantages to playing like that - his posture is making his shoulders and hands more tense, which could even injure him and I don't know where he got this from. The fugue is also too fast - it should be played slightly more slowly than the prelude but compared to the other problems that almost seems trivial. The initial tempo for the prelude would be okay if he could actually play it that fast, but then he slowed down wherever there was a difficult part like he hadn't figured out how to play the piece yet. The way that he changed the tempo for both the prelude and fugue isn't the way to play baroque music, and it seems like he's trying to take ideas from the romantic period without considering the intent of the composer.
There is a simple answer to your doubts about his posture. He's a really big guy. Anyway, who cares about artists' posture if they produce just a beautiful music. Would you agree?
Jaroslaw Nowakowski that's the thing, this guy isn't even playing that well to make up for it, he's simply playing too fast and not being authentic to the intentions of the composer.

sounds good ,but this isn't Bach (I need to be honest here) the vibe and the identity of the piece is totally different ,in a word "stately" and that's what makes Bach special.but this kind of playing is some other composer's vibe.
hmm, Gould wuld have said 'I'm not competing' - I may be in an older generation but for myself Gould gave us something to think about --- although this guy has technique I'm trying to figure out what he's saying
Amazing control, 0 sense of musicality. The prelude is played like someone pronouncing that ridiculously long Welsh town name as a party trick. WTC is not such a frivolous work. Then the fugue is played with a delightful touch reminiscent of Gould, but there is no phrasing; it is just spewed out like a computer. You should be better at this level.
The fugue, which is what matters in here, is beyond any criticism and as good as it can be. I really enjoyed it
Świetne nagranie! Brawo! Radość i kompetencja. Bach na miarę XXI wieku.
Unbelievable - amazing playing
Such a "happy" fugue - he's really captured the spirit. I especially love the way he brings out the syncopations in the countersubjects(?) (It's been a while since counterpoint 101, LOL!)
Excellent playing, l am learning this piece, thank you 🤩👏🏻👍🏆
I am happy that I could experience creation of this recording with my heart. Now I can experience listening it with my heart.
Marcin, your style is the most match to the one of Glenn Gould, I really enjoy it, thank you so much!
Remarkable! It sounds almost like Glenn Gould's recording! Bravo Marcin!
it is certainly remarkable, but um, not sure compare him to GG is a complement to some of us, : )
@@mengkaotseng8105 That's true. I was only pointing out that his style was very similar to Glenn Gould's. I don't use it as a compliment for just anybody.
@@manfredholt7329 But he's sufficiently expressive and unique in his approach
With the hunch I thought at first it WAS Gould, but the I looked closer. Agree, sure sounds like him.

The fugue is incredibile bravo!!
Visionario (BRAVISSIMO ) grazie from Italia
He is a tall guy. Which is the reason for why this posture is fine in his case. Alternative would be to get the Glenn Gould chair.
Piękna interpretacja!
superbly individual and characteristic playing . Thoroughly enjoyable.
absolutely stunning! you make me really understand bach and this piece
He plays them both with absolute class!
Many people are hating. I think it’s not my favorite way of a performance but I think it’s still good
Beautiful! Thanks.
This is great but he's hunching his back playing the piano, and like his knees are not even past the piano. Like isn't his back gonna hurt? Still very well played.
Wonderful and very impressive interpretation. Congratulations!
Intriguing rubato. Would Bach have played it so? Probably not, yet it is a unique style, which is always a joy to see.
this is one of my favorite. I cant play it at full speed,but i definitely love it
Very touching and perfect.
Most excellent! Thank you!
absolute perfection

La fuga es una maravilla
oh. my. god. wow perfectly played
*sigh* of all the songs, i just had to choose this one
Are you taking the level 10 RCM exam? Because I am too!
lucy yang same!!!
Nina Chung I could totally relate with you. My piano teacher's like "choose a song!" And then I randomly picked THIS ONE
Soap Wow, this problem seems to be more common than I thought.
Because I'm stuck with this piece too
Lol calm down guys, it’s not that hard of a piece. I learned it in 6th grade. I’d much rather play this Bach piece than the Chopin I’m working on right now
Best interpretation I've ever listened to.
Check Paul Bartons interpritation

I like how you play expressively
QUESTION TO ALL MY PIANISTS OUT THERE! Should the chords be rolled in the prelude? I’m learning this piece and I wasn’t sure.
Late response and of course the other guy is right. The beauty of Bach is that these days there are so many possible interpretations of when and when not to roll so do what feels natural to you
This is years later ik, but there's an ad libitum at the chord parts and the scales after them. And the Bach WTC Preludes were considered improvisational pieces, where you don't have to follow the score perfectly.
Great touch. Totally not like GG, totally himself.
1:46 is when the fugue starts.
Like we don’t know that.
best interpretation I've heard.
schiff!
It seems that your comment is schief in a form and meaning.
Amazing ❤👏
Excellent. bravo!
Muito bom ! Parabéns !
Superb!
I've never seen anyone physically play the piano like him... I wonder what it's like to crouch like that?
TheJoycell did You ever hear about Glen Gould?
His body posture is not of your concern. BTW, are you able to play on this level? No? Thought so.
@@maetes54 I'm playing at this level and i kinda cringe watching him preform, it would be better if it was just audio
Sound good, but I wonder how he ended up playing with that posture!😊
The conducting before he starts reminds me of Kentucky Fried Movie, when Sheldon is asked his name during the trial.
damn 4K in 2015! also superb playing, if not too fast
Wonderful !!!
Very beautiful.
I can play the prelude now and I just started learning the fugue.. I notice there are three parts in the fugue and I’m just like HOW DO YOU PLAY 3 PARTS I DONT HAVE 3 HANDS
No but you have ten fingers!
Chords.
Some fugues have 4-5 voices so if you think that you would need a hand for each voice, that would be saying that even a duet couldn't play bachs fugue.

Ask Glenn Gould.
Bla bla bla, pure jealousy...
bravo
Wow!🖤
Are you a try-hard for Glenn Gould?
That’s rather mean... everyone feels music in their own unique way and at times we are influenced by those who came before.
Not my favourite rendition albeit I feel disappointed when reading rude distasteful comments which don't belong to a distinguished audience such as it should be when it comes to JSB's sublime works.
Played amazingly well, but why does the conducting annoy me?
Cannot agree more! Great playing but annoying sitting position and also conducting thing!
@@rothschildianum He’s being possessed by Glenn Gould, everything’s alright.
Wow
The theme is more musical when played slowly.
Bravo
nice
HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE LEVEL 10 IT SHOULD BE ARCT!!!

It's funny how there's a background with nobody there it's just blank chairs😂
Welcome to corona.
his finger has a power.
God bless you!
This is music ... finished as no music is ever finished. Displace one note...
and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase, and the structure would fall. Replace the pianist and the whole charm would vanish!
and people need to realize its about the sound. No use to have a Fabio who can't play right.
4k quality!!!!

Too fast? You must be joking, the tempo is described as Allegro Vivace.
Something is really bothering me and that is where is the music?

too fast
Teach me the same Dad!
Should he be spreading the chords...?
no
That's how it's written.
Was a very common way of achieving sustain on a harpsichord (as was ornamentation) so spreading the chords is stylistically appropriate I'd argue
Adam Theobald ya
Very Nice! :)
For God !!!!!
yeet.
Good playing but I cant play as fast as you
too fast it needs to slow down a bit. sounds like a spinning machine.
spinning song by Mendelssohn
yes too fast!
Fuls🤔 octavs
Isn’t the fugue supposed to be slow
It is
It should be moderately fast
マジかよ
sounds good ,but this isn't Bach (I need to be honest here)
