What did Bach think long ago when he wrote this prelude?
And what can we discover today?
The fact is that even in the face of solid compositional techniques, it is we, with our thoughts, our intuitions, and our imagination, that keep this music alive today.
Musici Prattici like you and me, indeed, remain faithful to their mission, namely to study how our Masters of the past conceived music, and not how it has been misinterpreted over the centuries through analyses conceived incorrectly from the outset.
For this reason, I invite you to analyze this prelude with me in this video, the F# Major from the first book of the Well Tempered Clavier BWV 858.
In the worst case, you will have studied a new piece and had fun together with me; but in the best case, you will have learned new tools to apply in your compositions and improvisations!
So, think carefully: how many and which magical tools do you think the great Bach used to compose this prelude?
How will you be able to reuse them?
Well, there's only one way to find out!
I'll see you in the video!
Watch it now!
