@cldavis33 5 месяцев назад

I don't know why my classical teachers didn't cover theory, because when I came back from jazz studies, I then could analyze classical beautifully. Bach has all kinds of awesome chord changes. It is also MUCH easier to memorize his pieces when you look at the theory because the note have context now, instead of just notes.

@Solfonny Год назад

One thing Gould and Gulda both do, which I like a lot for this piece, is to hold out the pinky notes in the 1st section of the prelude. The harmony hangs over the chromatic inner notes. Gould is eccentric with it, but it creates a kind of magical trance-like feeling for me. It's definitely a good finger exercise. My favorite performances of this are by Wanda Landowska and Evelyne Crochet.

@robbes7rh Год назад

Really helpful. I’ve been thinking about how I would want to play this prelude, and you’ve highlighted the various possibilities as well as given it a spine on which I can experiment with some ideas. I would not have dared to play block chords in place of Bach’s melodic motifs. But watching you do that and bringing forward the beautiful harmonic progression with suspended 2nds resolving to 3rds (something I hadn’t taken note of when reading the score), I’m like, why the hell not. It’s another dimension of understanding this piece that Bach wrote and kept alive his whole life.

@DJKLProductions Год назад

Thank you so much for finally going Bach in time again! I, probably we, have waited so long for you to do it again and now the time has come. I am especially grateful, as baroque music, according to your own information, is not your field of expertise, or your usual environment! Thank you very much for allowing us to enjoy this! However, and hopefully you are interested, there are already romantic approaches with late baroque and early classical composers, such as Wilhelm Friedemann Bach with his 12 Polonaises for Fortepiano.

Io , non conoscendo l'inglese, non ho comprreso ciò che ha detto . Leggendo i commenti sottostanti non ho trovato menzionato S. RICHTER che, a mio gusto personale, ha dato la più straordinaria interpretazione di questo pezzo. Io paragono il risultato che ha ottenuto al celebre quadro di Van Gog " corvi su campo di grano." Una cascata di suoni che racchiudono bellissimi disegni armonici . Il risultato è drammatico e veramente sconvolgente. Se non sapessi che Bach è credente, questo pezzo straordinario mi fa pensare a un universo cupo e senza Dio. Straordinario effetto evocativo della musica.

@ericrakestraw664 Год назад

The No. 2 C minor prelude is very similar stylistically to the first prelude in C major. Both preludes start with 16th note figurations that repeat every half bar and harmonic changes every bar, and both preludes end with a pedal point in the deep bass.

@user-ew3yc5dx3j 2 месяца назад

Belle analyse. La caricature de Gould est fulgurante.

@pierfrancescopeperoni Год назад

I tend to play it pretty slow constructing the building, then I make a small rallentando at the end of the fifth bar before the arpeggios, and make an accelerando in the last four bars before the arpeggios, as if there the piece exploses, the rigid structured building starts falling. Then a final boom in the low g after the arpeggios, a small pause while the fragments go up in the air, and then they fall on the ground again, one after another.

@Stigggs Год назад

Excellent synopsis on this piece. I also liked your Glenn Gould imitation. Accurate and funny. Thank you very much. I do have one question. On measure 18, the ninth note in the left hand, base clef. Some sheet music shows it to be a C. While others show it to be a B flat. I’ve seen both equally. The sheet music that you used shows a C. Can you tell me which is really correct? Should it be C or B flat? (If you google images of the sheet music you will see the variations).

Bravo for the precise, crystal-clear harmonic analysis and for de facto insisting on having the feel and comprehension of it as a pianist. Nahre Sol does not do it much Music Matters does it, in a more rule-based, scholarly way. Both omit to mention it when talking practicing and learning a piece or playing patterns (arpeggios...).

@user-uz7gb7gb4v Год назад

The Glenn Gould impersonation was amazing! Friedrich Gulda's interpretation is also worth a mention. It's also super unorthodox, but more convincing than Gould's, in my opinion (and it dispenses with Gould's vocal obbligato, which is always a plus).

@juliannewman2ndchannelmusi475 Год назад

I also like Gulda's interpretation. I think Wim Winters' clavichord interpretation is also very nice.

@andrescolomarcedeno9952 10 месяцев назад

Bro you should do the invention 13 !!

@oldschoolchartist Год назад

I decided to change the phrasing just a bit, at least in my head. Instead of a downbeat followed by three 16th's, I think of it as one 16th note on the beat with the next three 16th's phrasing into the next down beat. So, instead of 'One ie and uh' 'Two ie and uh' 'Three ie and uh'... it would be 'One' 'ie and uh TWO' 'ie and uh THREE' etc. Each set of 4 16ths with the last three leading into the next down beat...

@dwdei8815 Год назад

Very engaging and nicely presented. But can the choice of how to play this be separated from the fact that it is the curtain-raiser and mood-setter to what I think is the wittiest and chirpiest of the fugues? I see a lot of echoes in the Shostakovich Prelude & Fugue in Am (vol 1) in harmonic pattern, melody and jokiness. My first reaction to your Gould was "That's amusing - but outrageous!". So I dug out a recording of it - and yes it was that, er, "individual" (but without the famous moaning).

@SonataSecrets Год назад

I think it should of course be considered as paired with the fugue as you point out, but also that it can be taken out and stand on its own, as a short character piece. It depends on the context for playing it.

@jsc5492 Год назад

Does the final Allegro give us the tempo indication for the beginning of the prelude? Whatever the tempo of the beginning, equal notes give us the effect of machinal playing (sounds like a knitting machine). You dont mention other aspects of possible performance practice. Accents, staccato, legato, some 1/16 notes held longer than others... OK for the analysis, not quite OK for "Different ways to play". Have you already analysed other Bach pieces that open with harmonies I II(7) V(7) I ? It's very common.

@Charstring Год назад

I didn't know that the tempo markings came from Bach, I always thought that Carl Czerny put them in.

Gould will never be surpassed, he's a genius the stature of bach and Beethoven. While others fight the piano trying to prove their dexterity and skills. Gould was playing side-by-side with the piano, giving each and each note attention and love.
