Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s new open access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Fugue for J. S. Bach was a natural language; he wrote fugues in organ toccatas and voluntaries, in masses and motets, in orchestral and chamber music, and even in his sonatas for violin solo. The more intimate fugues he wrote for keyboard are among the greatest, most influential, and best-loved works in all of Western music. They have long been the foundation of the keyboard repertory, played by beginning students and world-famous virtuosi alike. In a series of elegantly written essays, eminent musicologist Joseph Kerman discusses his favorite Bach keyboard fugues—some of them among the best-known fugues and others much less familiar. Kerman skillfully, at times playfully, reveals the inner workings of these pieces, linking the form of the fugues with their many different characters and expressive qualities, and illuminating what makes them particularly beautiful, powerful, and moving. These witty, insightful pieces, addressed to musical amateurs as well as to specialists and students, are beautifully augmented by performances made specially for this volume: Karen Rosenak, piano, playing two preludes and fugues fromTheWell-Tempered Clavier—C Major, book 1; and B Major, book 2--and Davitt Moroney playing the Fughetta in C Major, BWV 952, on clavichord; the Fugue on "Jesus Christus unser Heiland," BWV 689, on organ; and the Fantasy and Fugue in A Minor, BWV 904, on harpsichord.

Download or read book Bach s Well tempered Clavier written by David Ledbetter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bach's Well-tempered Clavier (or the 48 Preludes and Fugues) stands at the core of baroque keyboard music and has been a model and inspiration for performers and composers ever since it was written. This invaluable guide to the 96 pieces explains Bach's various purposes in compiling the music, describes the rich traditions on which he drew, and provides commentaries for each prelude and fugue. In his text, David Ledbetter addresses the main focal points mentioned by Bach in his original 1722 title page. Drawing on Bach literature over the past three hundred years, he explores German traditions of composition types and Bach's novel expansion of them; explains Bach's instruments and innovations in keyboard technique in the general context of early eighteenth-century developments; reviews instructive and theoretical literature relating to keyboard temperaments from 1680 to 1750; and discusses Bach's pedagogical intent when composing the Well-tempered Clavier. Ledbetter's commentaries on individual preludes and fugues equip readers with the concepts necessary to make their own assessment and include information about the sources when details of notation, ornaments, and fingerings have a bearing on performance.

Download or read book J S Bach Prelude and Fugue in B Flat Major WTC I and Harmonic Solutions with Patterns of Mental Bass Progressions written by Christophe Brass and published by Christophe Brass. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my edition of the “Prelude and Fugue in C Major; harmonic solutions with patterns of mental bass progressions”, I introduced my harmonic solutions for the pieces in the Well-Tempered Clavier, and explained something about my methods. I will not repeat this introduction here, as study of the first Prelude and Fugue will build an excellent foundation, which I believe is necessary in order to continue with others in the collection. Instead, this preface lists the main consequences that are necessarily drawn from my understanding of Bach’s harmonic principles, principles which are clearly illustrated graphically within each of my scores for the Well Tempered Clavier. — In my opinion, to simply play notes and intervals without any awareness of each note’s harmonic identity does not reflect Bach’s intent or practice in the WTC. This harmonic identity means that every note in a composition or a performance (which is usually the same thing in Bach) is not just thought of by its melodic function, but is also considered in how it relates to a mental bass. When a note is considered with its mental bass, it can function as a fundamental note, a harmonic third, a harmonic fifth, a harmonic seventh, a harmonic ninth or as a non-chord note. This mental bass is in turn always considered in how it relates to the tonic or a tonic substitute, and will be used in some pattern that moves naturally around this tonic or tonic substitute. — Therefore, any conception that a piece from the WTC consists of several “independent” voices does not reflect Bach’s compositional process. In fact, the voices of the polyphony are more or less dependent upon these carefully organized mental bass patterns (I have found some passages in Bach’s organ music which would have been composed without any underlying mental bass, but am yet to discover any such places in the Well Tempered Clavier). In many cases, one or more voices are strongly dependent upon the current mental bass progression, with Bach deducing the shape of these voices from the dynamic properties of given harmonic patterns. This can be understood by playing with an awareness of the harmonic identity, instead of merely reproducing the pitches and intervals on the score, which will only grant glimpses of the music’s logic and sense. — Memorizing every voice of any of the preludes or fugues without this awareness of the underlying logical harmonic progressions created by mental basses is a purely theoretical exercise, and bears no relation to Bach’s practice. — It is important to remember that in Bach’s music, there is only one tonic! For this reason, the tonic substitutes in a piece are always drawn from the tonic’s scale (excluding the leading tone), and a mental bass that is a tonic substitute is mostly the goal of a harmonic progression within the piece. This may seem a small point, but I believe it is important if we are to correctly understand Bach’s music as being truly tonal, and I insist on this point in the quick reference card at the entry for tonic substitute. — Once one has studied any prelude and fugue from the WTC with an awareness of each note’s harmonic identity, then the score is no longer necessary for performance. The piece will become more and more obvious (even the most complex works of the WTC will become more accessible over time), and can then be played by heart as well as if one had composed them, rather than as some passive contemplation of a mysterious masterpiece, opaque to nearly all minds.
