Topic: New Bach Video - Invention n 11 in G minor BWV 782

Dear Friends,

Bach Invention n 11 in G Minor follows Invention n 10 has a character of tormented restlessness. A chromatic counter-subject of two bars long, attached from the outset to the chief theme, evolves, by means of inversion in the fourth bar, an episode of the most painful and insistent kind, which reappears in alternation with the original counterpoint at bar 14. The phrases consist of six bars, but at the last two recurrences it is only five bars and a half long, and these two are merged directly in one another without any cadences to give a moment's rest (see bars 12, 13, and 18); each beat of the bar is more restless than the last.
Enjoy your listening & Greetings from Italy

Excellent job again carmelo!  It's beautiful and when you play it is always so clear. You looks so sure and well-worked, and seems technically brilliant,  playing with effortless control.
I think you have achieved true command over the instrument. Thank you for having time to share Bach’s music.

Excellent here, well, I commented ”excellent” on your contest video in contest post too.
I really hope you will be among the twelve we get to vote for.

Best wishes,

Stig

beautiful job Carmelo!  there is so much drama in your choice of phrasing and dynamics.  i've heard a lot of people play this as just a continuous barrage of notes without any storytelling, but in your playing the story comes through!

Thank you so much for your comment, Budo!
I always try to read Bach's music as a continuous sequence of emotions, divided and melted into the various voices.
I'm really happy you enjoyed my video.
