Mr. Pinnock is exersicing his "artistic license". Many performers do this to add (or subtract) from the actual publication in order to elaborate the recording. Mr. Pinnock's tempo change gives the ending a bit more of a "grandioso" touch to it. Of course, there will be others that won't agree but that's okay: "To each, their own".
That fugue is absolutely outstanding! It closes the perfect circularity of this Toccata with a dramatic and yet so lively subject that has such a touch of virtuosity and fantasy and that really remarks the beginning sentence! Outstanding! Peace folks!
He actually borrowed the main theme of the fugue almost wholesale from an earlier fugue in E by Benedetto Marcello! I like Bach's take on it better overall but it's interesting to dig up the original. See ruclips.net/video/3MynBxcTfTU/видео.html for an organ performance of it.
You can't imagine how much I would love to animate Arvo Part but I'm afraid I can't do without funding. At the moment all of Bach's works are free but other composers / requests I'd have to charge for. It is a harsh reality but I'm trying to make a buck like everyone else and scrolling Bach is my way of presenting my skills to potential clients in order to get some kind of work. Please forgive me.
I've enjoyed these Tocattas SO Much. Glen Gould is awesome, but so is this musician. These great works were written for harpsichord, not the forte piano. Thousand thanks for posting these and opening up a whole new world to me.
I played this toccata four years ago, and I sang the B minor mass eight years ago. But it's only tonight that I've realised the double fugue in this toccata is a prototype of the Confiteor Unum Baptisma movement of the mass. It's a striking revelation, to say the least!
If I'm not mistaken, the Gminor "Great" fugue from fantasy and fugue BWV 542 aligns pretty well with this one also. Match the two in your mind, check it out. (Actually, just went to the piano - only certain portions seem to match. Somehow the two mix well in the mind, selectively I suppose.)
Alkan's piano pieces would be nice to see moving. My prices are quite high because I work alone. (I'm sure they would be higher with a 3-5 person staff). Each red line you see in my animations is worth $66.00. I also charge .28¢ per stave and .56¢ per measure. This animation has 1 red bar, 2 staves & 142 measures. So it would have cost the client $148.92 (US dollars). Yes, I agree it is too much but these animations are quite hard to make.
This magnificent performance is beyond description Without Bach's music , the humanity would have been very lonely From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Wonderful vid! To one of the commenters below, according to research Bach wasn’t explicit on whether these toccatas were for harpsichord (clavichord) or organ. In fact they can be played on either instrument.
I've watched this video maybe 200 times, but now finally as I'm learning this piece, I can hear that at 2:45, a low B is played, not a low D as written!
What an excellent ear ThePochaccos! I wondered if it was mistake or if he was working off a different publication of this piece? Nevertheless, I could never do what Mr. Pinnock does so well. I am thankful for his recordings.
Hey Gerubach. love your work. Bach would have loved it im sure. I was just wondering, how mutch do you think it would cost you to make some videos of Charles Valentin Alkan's music? i would really love to see his merciless piano pieces!
Interesting similarities with the famous BWV 565 Toccata & fugue in D-minor, especially the second fugue here. Compare these fugues, and you will find striking similariries between the themes of them.
ohh... that is quite the penny. I wonder how mutch the symphony for solo piano would have cost... i'm afraid that, at this moment in time, i'm a bit too needy of my few earned krones. but do you think it would be possible for you to find out the exacte price for Alkan's Le festin de'Estope? (don't know if that was written correct) if its not horrendously mutch i might be interested inn you make at video of it as soon i get my next paycheck.
Thank you for the video. But I'd rather let my eyes follow the music than keep them still and let the music scroll. Cheers to your animation skills and setting them to music, even if it's not very fun to watch.
or even better... would it be possible to get my own music in one of your videos? i have a few ones that could be funny to see, and i guess its good advertisement too.
It's really great to have the music right there, would be better without that annoying red line that doesn't actually sync up but just gives a nice general idea of where the music is. If the red line is for non musicians it's bad since it throws me off. still really cool, if there wasn't a red line in the middle as if i can't read along myself .If a music notation illiterate suddenly learns to read music bc of the red line id be surprised's alm sayin. Could there be both versions maybe??
Bach is the beginning and end of all music !!!
3:38 is out of this world ...
thank you for spotted it, i came for the fuge only but didnt knew she would rise from this
magestic

The dotted 8th/16th note sequence @3:37 is the red carpet to the Fugue. I never get tired of that wonder bass line.

pumpkingod Thank you for this
I like to imagine that after 910-913 (all of which I like a lot), he composed this one and said...OK that's the one!
Which one
Parts of the fugue sound astonishingly modern.
Bach transcends time periods. He had more on his mind than what historical era future generations would place him into.
I'm seriously starting to think that Bach is God, but in disguise.
@@fabriziopelli4577 Or vice versa.
Astonishingly modern? Which parts... all seemed in the scope of high baroque harmony to me.
@@danielzarb-cousin5945 He might be referring to the chromatic parts, it's easy to confuse them with later practices.

It's amazing this performance. I have to decide between this Tocatta and Partita 1. Right now I'm sure I want to play this tocatta
E minor or g major toccata you prefer about exams ??? End of piano exam
What a magnificent piece of music! WOW!
I agree, this was always my favorite piece to play. The end of the fugue is the most exciting passage I know in Bach.
You've got some skill playing this! If only I could learn it too, it rocks.
Holy shit, that fugue
Alkan's piano pieces would be nice to see moving. My prices are quite high because I work alone. (I'm sure they would be higher with a 3-5 person staff).

The fugue from the G Minor Toccata... I've already animated it a while back. I can't wait to animate it again (smoother and with better graphics).
The Fugue is such a masterpiece!
This magnificent performance is beyond description

Trevor Pinnock is a fckn genius.
Amazing Mr. Pinnock, and thank you.

His music is so healthy!
You are welcome SuonoReale. More to come!
A cup of red wine and Bach , perfect
What an excellent ear ThePochaccos! I wondered if it was mistake or if he was working off a different publication of this piece? Nevertheless, I could never do what Mr. Pinnock does so well. I am thankful for his recordings.
Must be a different publication. Gould played an F#, too.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
So intensive!!!!
Magnificant!
3:39 is so good 😢
Great job. Thank you !
my favorite toccata!
2:46 I wonder if Chopin got the idea for his op 9 no 1 nocturne here
Which composer did not get their idea from Bach?
@@3gc42bx Buxtehude?
@@denynugrahaa1755 Monteverdi?
@@kneza96BG ahahaha that's right
Patrick: YEAH! E MINOR!
Hello, very Nice work you do Gerubach!! What is happening in the 5th bar from the end?! This bar is cut during mastering, or played wrong :-)
Hey Gerubach. love your work. Bach would have loved it im sure. I was just wondering, how mutch do you think it would cost you to make some videos of Charles Valentin Alkan's music? i would really love to see his merciless piano pieces!

Superbe !
Hey Gerubach have you planned doing some of the arvo parts music ??? that will be great.
ENORME
One of my preferred toccata
❤
Yeah man!
Interesting similarities with the famous BWV 565 Toccata & fugue in D-minor, especially the second fugue here.
Compare these fugues, and you will find striking similariries between the themes of them.
Is anybody going to talk about how uncannily similiar this is to marcello's fugue in e minor?!?!?!
5:03
ohh... that is quite the penny.

Very good !!Are you bring a Message for me ?Are you Trevor Pinnock?
How do you do this? I just don't understand.
It's really great to have the music right there, would be better without that annoying red line that doesn't actually sync up but just gives a nice general idea of where the music is. If the red line is for non musicians it's bad since it throws me off. still really cool, if there wasn't a red line in the middle as if i can't read along myself .If a music notation illiterate suddenly learns to read music bc of the red line id be surprised's alm sayin. Could there be both versions maybe??
Fugue sounds like BWV548 fugue
0:17
Mic is too close.
scrolls too fast, hurts my eyes =(
Is the silence at 6:35 a mistake or a kind of interpreation?...
I'm a bit late to respond, but yeah it's like taking a breath in the playing before the finale
