Bach - Prelude and Fugue in C-sharp major, BWV 848 

Complete WTC LET'S GO!!!

WTC's are not difficult technically. But they are very difficult to artistically.

@@insearchofpeace2151 You really think so?? I've always thought a lot of the WTC's preludes and fugues are still of comparable difficulty to the easier of the Chopin etudes. I find getting dynamics and articulation right without pedal to be really difficult. I'm just curious because maybe after enough practice Bach feels technically easy.

@@RafaelGarcia-ue6uc and also don't forget that memorizing counterpoint music is harder on the brain, which makes it mentally straining too

Why hello there Erik!

I think giving every contrapuntal line a different color is a lot of work, I don't think it's worth the effort that much, imo.

I agree Erik, it would be visual satisfying

Great suggestion!

Bach is not pronounced Back though.

@@dannyobi3687 I think we all get that. Take a joke.

That would be cool but a lot of work

Oh you play monster legends too? Nice to see a fellow appreciator of classical music and a player of monster legends. I have the learnean in your display photo.

your going to make Traum blush

What does that even mean? Every major concert pianist has covered the pieces he played

@@chezbe you are joking right??

@@chezbe i am not gonna reply to that...

@Alexandre Claudio yea...

Sergei Prokofiev I don’t like to compare musicians like that, and Paul is an amazing person and pianist as well. But he’s not even close to post the 6 Paganini etudes for example, traum has covered a ridiculous range, from different periods and styles. All of that in 4 months I think, Paul has been posting for more than 11 years! But I love both!

@Franz Schubert lol

He said he would be Bach. That's aslight difference

He is still composing cantatas for his 20 dead sons

I wanted to put the bach pun but I held back

Franz Liszt LoL xD

He is already proud just because of the playing because it's awesome, he told me this yesterday

Franz, how do you know he isn’t already ;)

Lol this had me dead💀

Hahahahaha xD You are a witty little guy, Liszt xD

😂

@Nate B. When I was 18 and just about to finish my Abitur, I originally wanted to study music theory. My dad told me, that if I were to do that, I shall never even think about getting financial support from him. It goes without saying, that I was pretty deprived during the rest of the day, because I couldn't follow my dreams. But that was no problem. After I cried myself to sleep for hours I finally entered my dreams. And there he was, J.S. Bach. And he revealed to me, that I shouldn't study music theory anyways. He told me, that if I want to become a good composer, I should study physics. And thus I started studying physics. And shortly after I started that, a pianist played one of my pieces for a fan composition project, which I've seen as confirmation. I wasn't really a fan of Bach before he appeared in my dreams. I just occasionally listened to WTK I and II. After that dream, he became my life. My essence. My will. Whenever I am about to give up on my studies and on composing, I just think back to that dream. And that fills me with new energy to continue the road I've chosen. It's really energy taking and I only get up to 3h or 4h of sleep per day, because the assignments are so hard, but I feel fulfilled and I've been kinda successful until now with my studies.

you deserve a lot more suscribers!! also, gretings from argentina.

then you need ti practice 40hrs each day

Valdemar Solbraa Heilemann hahah I only practice one hour per day

@@valdemarsolbraaheilemann7134 if it was possible...

Franz Schubert real

I found you

Xd

the thing is that in Bach's times, D flat major and C sharp major were two different tonality (the key was the same though)

@@marcoponzio1644 i wonder why

@@ludwig4029 because there was a different temperament (the intervals beetween two notes was different), where you could get the same note in 2 or more ways (i think that the same note could go higher an higher (our ears think like this, but in reality the note was just the same). So you could achieve d flat major in a different way then you could achieve c sharp major.

@@marcoponzio1644 oh ok

You wish.

omg he fucking did it lmfaooooo

yep

yeah well tempered clavier book 1 p&f 3

Harpsichord I believe

Pianoforte didn’t really exist in Bach’s time

Because staccato really is a piece of cake.

@@ruthsalgado6775 but THESE staccattos

이분 한국인 아녜요

Whenever I try to talk about classical music to my friends they're like: _ok_

@@rubber7506 i know many think this is elitism but it's not, it's just the plain truth, is takes a passionate and smart introspective person to like classical music, it's not normal people, it's too profound for them, but thats okay i guess, everyones free to be what they are, if you don't harm others

The Prelude and Fugue No. 2 is in C Minor. No. 4 is in C-Sharp Minor.

@@arvindramesh6442 Thx, I get confused between those, Thx

Luis Musique You’re welcome!

@@luismusique9531 Do you mean the Prelude and Fugue in C-Sharp minor from Book 2 or the Well Tempered clavier? That's one of my favorites.

@@Keldor314 Rousseau one LoL

Err I don’t think he can play that...
