Never in my life i would think about discovering such masterpiece in a beautifully executed version of an old videogame. Thanks Castlevania! Forever in my heart.
@@smhmyhead8017 not necessarily… look at handel’s suite in b flat for keyboard… the first measures of the first movement of the suite begins with arpeggios. They are improvisatory and following the same pattern isn’t a requirement, as I understand.
It's like he looked into the future- "ah, okay romantics and chromatics. Let's try what I can do" and than "this was fun, let's also make a fugue with it"
When I first heard this, on an LP by Peter Katin, I was amazed at how modern it sounded. How could this possibly have been written in the first half of the eighteenth century? I thought perhaps that the pianist was improvising, you know taking cadenza-like liberties because it was a fantasia. Possibly being played on a piano rather than a harpsichord also made it sound modern. But the more I learned about it and realised that every note was composed and all those chromatic harmonies were there in the original, the more amazing and timelessly modern the piece became. A sort of musical virtuosic miracle.
I learned the Fantasy a long time ago (struggled with the Fugue; couldn't get it up to performance standards) and liked to play it for people who hadn't heard it before. I'd always ask them to guess the composer. No one ever guessed Bach. I remember my Dad saying, "Well, it's not Mozart. And it's not John Cage. So it's somewhere in between." He was dumbfounded when I told him who it was.
@@themoonfleesthroughclouds the beginning parts certainly, but after all those characteristic Bach chord-based figures and runs, in the middle of the fantasy(where I am now while writing this), it's far more difficult to discern as Bach. It's only when the fugue comes in that it sounds like Bach again to me. So take out the opening figures and the fugue, and I would not guess Bach as having written this.
@@mydogskips2 But also Bach was very unpredictable also, secondly Fantasy meant improvisation back then, so maybe since he improvised this he didn’t want it to sound boring.
It's like bach explored all the musical possibilities that the future would later try. The harmonic pivot at 2:00 is 200 years ahead of it's time. I mean, I guess it isn't since it's right here, but I honestly feel Bach is one of the only composers that I've yet to feel despondent towards someone's unyielding awe of him; cos I agree. He was a visionary that experienced the realm of musical potential with superhuman fidelity that far surpassed the socio-musical zeitgeist of his time. As much as I adore many other composer's piano music, I constantly feel myself unable to find much that surpasses bach's output in terms of continued excellence in compositional pacing and movement.
@@achenarmyst2156 thank you for your response. I should've been more specific. My time stamp was chosen to prepare the ears and provide some harmonic context, should anyone have read my comment. However, I recognise the choice of timestamp is misleading. The harmonic pivot I'm interested in is the D dominant 7 into the B dominant 7 chord from 2:02 to 2:08.
@Cosmic Dissonance Usually I would agree that most theory are BS. But in Schoenberg's case I think it helped me to organise things in my head, and then have ideas by my own while using this organisation. But I agree that it doens't work like that for everyone.
@@orangutan1262 I wouldn't recommend it too, at least not get a good understanding of harmony. But if you already have some harmony knowledge, in this case that book could get you some ideas.
Bach, like Mozart is deceptively difficult to play. Fewer notes, sure, but everything has to be so clean and pristine only those who don't ride the damper like it was a gas pedal in the Indie 500 will be successful bringing this off.
almost unbelievable that Bach did this. this sounds like a Piece that composers of the late 19th century could have written. like debussy or chopin. This man was beyond genius. He was the da Vinci of music
Beethoven used to say "his name is Bach ("River", in German), but it should actually be Ocean". Everything comes from this man, the greatest composer of all times.
Rare Bach octave moment at 11:42. I can't think of any other time he (or any of his contemporaries) used octaves like this. Reminds of Beethoven or even Liszt.
i think there are some scarlatti sonatas, which use octaves in a similar manner, e.g. k 26 or k 44. otherwise it is indeed rare and very dramatic. there's also an octave passage in the e minor prelude (edit: fugue) in wtc I (bwv 855), however a little different from what you mean.
@@FlorianBriegel I'm not surprised Scarlatti used octaves, he was very ahead of his time in terms of technique. I believe clementi also used some. I've always thought it would be cool if people added octaves and double notes to Bach's work.
It is such an amazing composition that it does not seem possible to be by Bach. Obviously we must remember what he writes for solo violin or in certain preludes or fantasies for organ, or the portentous and wild toccatas for harpsichord, where the harmonic labyrinths that he manages to navigate are as if they sprouted from a Baroque imagination so personal as to suggest a possible romance. Yes, but which Romanticism? Which composer? The chromatic fantasy is a prodigy of harmonic inspiration and timeless melodic sensuality. Every time you listen to it you are as impressed as if it were the first time.
Or maybe he just went to some distant keys arbitrarily... "Eh it's a chromatic one so let's just go to distant keys with the harmony". Those modulation techniques are pretty simple also
Andras is “the MAN”! The Grand Master of Western European keyboard music...unbelievable, this freaking guy...he plays vast amounts of literature from memory, every nuance, articulation, dynamic, with purpose, meaning, depth and understanding...he must be an alien hybrid

Parts of the last page of the Fantasia sound like a precursor of Wagner's Tristan and Isolde overture (ie. the Tristan chord, eg. 6:05). I believe it was Bertrand Russell who said that 'The history of Western Philosophy is footnotes to Plato'. I wonder whether it cannot also be said that 'the history of Western Music is footnotes to Bach'.
It's just a half diminished - seventh chord built on the seventh degree in major and second in minor. It was pretty common in baroque and classical, and especially in romanticism (Tristan chord). The first chord, diminished seventh is even more common.

It's just a half diminished - seventh chord built on the seventh degree in major and second in minor. It was pretty common in baroque and classical, and especially in romanticism (Tristan chord). The first chord, diminished seventh is even more common.

It's chromatic, not atonal. Chromatic means borrowing notes outside of key, atonal means no key.
