00:35 To skip the introduction.
A (not wholly reverent) analysis of the alleged "greatest organ work ever written". I am hoping to do more of this type of analyses in the future, so suggestions (Musicological, or about the presentation) are welcome!
The fugue is at 8:28
As a bonus, I also included André Raison's Christe (Trio en passacaille), from which Bach likely took the first part of the Passacaglia's bassline from.
Introduction is at 13:32
And the music starts at 13:42
The recording is of James Kibbie (University of Michigan) playing the 1730 Trost organ at Stadtkirche, Waltershausen, Germany, avaliable for download free of charge here: www.blockmrecords.org/bach/det...
This video was heavily inspired by a video analysis done by a Mandarin-language channel, "Musician Seacow" His original video is here: • 你一定要體驗的震撼感,巴赫的管風琴曲-帕薩卡...
You'll see that I stole a lot of the color scheme from him. If you understand Chinese, his channel is a great one to follow, especially for introductory-level classical fans.
Additionally, the musical rhetoric analyses come from Wei-Chun Liao's DMA dissertation "A Study of Musical Rhetoric in J. S. Bach’s Organ Fugues
BWV 546, 552.2, 577, and 582"
