@oldschoolchartist
Жыл бұрын
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...

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).

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.

Aside from the staccato, Goulds interpretation is somewhat historically accurate. J.S. Bach wrote to one of his students that 4/4 indicated slower tempo. People tend to play many of his pieces too fast. Rather than trying it faster, try it slower and work on emphasizing pedal points and bringing out your own interpretation of the harmony. 70-90bpm sounds much nicer.

This is a lovely analysis, however, you really miss the point about Gould and that he understands and listens to every voice and harmonic shift. I have learned much from listening to all of his works, and it has influenced greatly how I listen to works of other composers, as well. Why do you make fun of Gould for being autistic? Autism has its challenges, as we all have to some degree! Luckily for us,the autistics and geniuses of our world bring us many treasures. Gould’s non-verbal, profound understanding of Bach’s harmony and counterpoint go far, far beyond your good analysis, here. And too many pianists play this prelude as if it was a showy Czerny exercise. If you find it difficult to watch Gould, at least closely to his playing, and you will find the riches and beauty that he is able to express.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Seriously Bro, one would not call it an 'Arabesque' in 1722, Seriously Bro. What makes it sound "arabic" to you is the use of "Hiatus" and "Exclamatia". This was pretty common in the baroque era in minor-key-pieces. And the immitation of GG was bad as well. He plays it faster. I don't like that Gould tries to "bring out" these base octaves. But this is a 1960s interpretation, one should not expect something historical informed in this time. So what? Third point: the picardy third in the final bar is not only "stylistic". If you play this prelude or another minor-key piece on a well-tempered(!) not aequidistant tuned piano, it will happen, that the minor chord sounds much more "unstable" than the major chord in the same key.
