As requested by some of you, I've created this video. And it was actually leading the poll when I started working on the next video - but unfortunately, the Prelude in D took the lead before it was finished, so that's what I'll be doing next.
An analysis of Bach's contrapuntal skill:
I think one of the most interesting aspects of this video is comparing the endings of the two fugues. It really highlights Bach's mastery of counterpoint, and I think it's definitely worth watching to see how he does it.
A note on copyright:
- These pieces are in the public domain
- This video was mistakenly flagged by YouTube due to a misunderstanding of copyright law
- Most of Bach's works are available for use without issue, thanks to the efforts of many YouTubers who have helped establish this precedent.
A minor note on my performance:
If you're paying close attention, you might notice a few tiny mistakes in my counting of long notes. I fixed these in editing, but didn't try to hide them in the video itself.
