Well spotted! The quinte superflue is always good to have in the toolbox. It's especially useful on harsh tempered instruments where it's much better than diminished chords.
Nice fugue lessons, and excellent performance. You could improve the video a lot by straightening out the frame (level horizon), close mic'ing Your voice, and as noted by Jordan: removing excess info about patreon from the screen. why not just read (Your voice over) off screen and show the score on screen.?
Thank you. I started to show the keyboard in later videos. I noticed I must show that silly text on the screen because otherwise people don't go to the Patreon account. Unfortunately if people see the score in the free version they don't feel the need to go to Patreon. On Patreon however, all scores are visible on the screen.
Thank you for your interesting lecture! Does the theme of a fugue always have to begin and end on the tonic? Is a fugue theme which modulates to the mediant and ends there impossible?
Not necessarily, but modulating to the mediant and ending there must be very rare. I've never seen it. Ending on any note of the main key would be normal, sometimes also modulating to the fifth, but this has implications which are a bit too difficult at the stage of this video.
@@leonardschick5257 Thanks for your answer! Neither have I seen otherwise. If it were possible Bach and others would certainly have done it. I will lay my fugue like theme which compellingly goes from C major to E major aside for the moment😅
This seems the weirdest organ tuning ever? Why does everything sound ... one whole tone up? If I had to guess it is probably a Werckmeister III or something too, but that really is insignificant with the 16% pitch (or speed?) increase
In baroque Germany there were 2 pitch tendencies. The chamber pitches were rather low (ca 392-420hz) and used for everything outside the church. Organs however were tuned in choir pitch, which started around 460 hz. In central Germany (Bach...) it was usually not very far from 464-465 but in Northern Germany it was sometimes higher than 490. The organ in Stade is usually slightly above 493 hz but it was summer and rather hot, so it was probably even some hz higher. The temperament was created for the restoration of that organ and is known as the Stade temperament. It's a kind of extended meantone with quarter comma fifths, but with more of them than in Werckmeister III, allowing some pure thirds to emerge.
Thank you for asking. Actually it is. You can go on my Patreon account for 5 euros. You can find it there, amongst other things. See here: www.patreon.com/user?u=80961676
Great work!! Surprised I have never come across you until now, coincidentally after Roman Cano referenced you in the description of his latest video! Your work is extremely impressive indeed!
Excellent composition, and the video and audio in several of your latest uploads is looking and sounding fantastic! Many thanks for sharing this with us.
