J.S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D minor Vanessa Mae
Fugue, from Latin 'escape', is one of the most important and complex musical forms. It is based on the development of one theme, using contrapuntal technique.
It is a short, usually without a specific internal structure, work that can serve as an introduction to subsequent parts of a larger and more complicated work.
I first heard Fauré's Requiem when I was fourteen. At that time, my entire perception was focused on the creativity of one of the Viennese classics, the creator of the most famous mass of consolation - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

J.S. Bach is one of the most important composers in the history of classical music. His Prelude and Fugue in F minor (BWV 881) is one of the many masterpieces he left behind. Bach is considered a master of the fugue, and this particular composition showcases his extraordinary compositional talent and skill in creating counterpoint. The video features Chiara Massini playing the harpsichord. The harpsichord is an instrument similar to the piano, but differing from it in the technique of producing sounds. Massini virtuously performs the Prelude and Fugue in F minor, fully conveying the expressiveness and richness of sound of this piece. The Prelude and Fugue in F minor is the second part of the second book of Das wohltemperierte Klavier (The Well-Tempered Clavier) by Bach. These books consist of twenty-four preludes and fugues, formed in different keys, allowing for the achievement of a full spectrum of sounds and emotional depth. This composition is classified as Baroque, an era characterized by counterpoint and harmony with a distinct emphasis on the melodic line. Bach was one of the greatest representatives of this style and is considered the last great Baroque composer. The video is also related to the piece "They" performed by Jemma Griffiths (Jem), which is based on musical motifs by Bach. Contemporary arrangements of classical music are one way to pay tribute to great composers and to introduce their works into a modern context. J.S. Bach, Chiara Massini, and their performance of the Prelude and Fugue in F minor BWV 881 represent an excellent artistic message that reveals the richness and multidimensionality of classical music. Their work not only revives the Baroque era but also delights contemporary listeners with modern interpretations.
This video is absolutely mesmerizing! Chiara Massini perfectly interprets Bach's prelude and fugue on the harpsichord, intensifying the tension and emotions. The piece is known for Jemma Griffiths' arrangement, which under the title 'They' takes us through reflective words. Regardless of which version I prefer, both deeply affect me. Bach's music is always timely and inspires reflection on the rules we sometimes mindlessly follow. It's worth stopping sometimes and considering whether we are truly convinced of their validity. Absolutely mind-blowing!
