WTF Bach

Bonus: Listener’s Choice: You asked, I talked.


Listen Later

This is the third bonus episode.


 


You know how at the end of every episode, Gaby says, "Want to have evan analyze a specific piece of Bach... just for you?"


 


Boom: Listener's choice volume one.


 


Three pieces you requested were:


Prelude and Fugue in E minor, BWV855 (Book one)


Prelude and Fugue in C-sharp minor, BWV849 (Book one)


Capriccio on the Departure of the Beloved Brother, BWV992


 


--


Forgive my delay in getting this to all of you: I have a noble undertaking regarding a popular Bach book which is doing nothing but leading you further from the truth about the master! But have no fear, in a few weeks I will unleash an attack and clear up this confusion: meanwhile please enjoy my brief analysis of these three pieces which, in their own right, could take up many episodes each.


 


Also: Lament Aria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lament_bass


 


Follow me on IG! Right now I am instagramming inner movements of the cello suites on a portable clavichord: @wtfbach


 


As always, thanks for listening,


-evan
