The 2nd/3rd Fugues in The Art of Fugue: What is a Clavichord? Our first countersubject!
Published 6 years, 6 months ago
Description
We discuss the second and third fugues from "The Art of Fugue" by J.S. Bach.
We hear them played on a clavichord and a piano, then both arranged electronically with some new insights.
Topics covered: How quiet is a clavichord? So... what's the vibe in general of The Art of Fugue? Countersubjects, inverted entrances, and the subject beginning to change.
