I am republishing here this piece not only to continue my dream of recording the entire Well-Tempered Clavier I by Johann Sebastian Bach, which you have probably already seen in the recently concluded Contest. I hope you liked it, now a few words about this Fugue.
In contradiction to the seriousness and strength of the Prelude with the same key as a powerful piece, this Fugue (in 3 parts), a superfluous addition, almost seems like a harmless and cheerful postlude.
Who will dare to say whether the central motif of the theme with its tonal succession Eb Ab G ab c Bb, recalling the theme of the Grande fugue, was the result of chance, or of intention, or of the unconscious assimilation of creative ideas ?
Nobody knows this except Bach.
As usual, Pianoteq is excellent on my piano.My actual setting is:
Played on Yamaha P125 piano stage Video Recording Samsung Galaxy A54.
VST: Hamburg Steinway D Pianoteq Stage 8.2.1Bach wrote it. Carmelo played it. Well done. I don`t think this interpretation could be bettered. Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you Carmelo.
Is this the very best fugue in the whole WTC? For now I think so. We'll see how the rest sound in comparison.
By the way, did you know you can change the colors on the keys? Don’t have to use red all the time.
On Ptq interface up to right corner go to Options, Highlight pressed keys (click on the color), choose from 9 different colors.
Blue, green, purple, yellow can be seen very well.Best wishes,
Stig
Thank you so much for your comment and for the compliments Stig, I have always tried to do my best and I really hope I deserve them! What is the best WTC Fugue? I am very fond of the fugue in C min nr 2, it is also the one you find published on the Pianist Magazine's YouTube channel with great satisfaction for me. Of the ones I played, number 4 was very difficult, managing 5 voices is no joke. But this is undoubtedly where I was best able to control the voices.
I didn't know you could change the color of the keys in Pianoteq, thanks for the suggestion, I really like the blue and green.
Greetings
Carmelo
