Hello rumburak and thank you for playing this delightful, short three-voice fugue. Your performances are always perfect. And you have a very nice sound here.
And you make the piece ”alive”, bringing energy, emotion to your music, transforming it from mere notes on a page into a emotional experience, your some rit. and acc.
It helps to feel more connected, taking me into a different state of mind.
You are playing"by heart" rather than just technically correct.

What a coincidence . I have played this one too, and at about same tempo, ending 2 minutes.

I don't compare your playing with my, I am only an old amateur, mostly self taught because my teacher when young said  ....you will never become a pianist.
Have been playing almost every day all my life since then, my eternal learning path to becoming a better musician.
Playing only for my own pleasure (and for those who like to listen).

Thank you rumburak for sharing your music. Keep going, you are a Master.

Best wishes,

Stig

Such a crisp and precise performance Rumburak! Playing a 3-voice fugue requires great independence between the hands, and you balanced the voices perfectly here. The harpsichord tone is incredibly clear.
Brilliant work!

Thanks to your recording of this Bach fugue, you reminded me of the Blanchet harpsichord and others from the KIViR collection that I had forgotten were in Pianoteq :-)

Hello Piotr,
A beautiful composition by J.S. Bach with a very skilful structure. Your musical performance really brings out the best in the piece. Thank you very much.
Best regards, J. Unruh

Seriously amazing! Now I am very tempted to play some (Pianoteq-based) Harpsichord. Not 3-voice counterpoint though yet! I wonder what I ought to begin with.
