Lovely video, Michael! From the Neapolitan repertoire I'd like to add (if I may) that there are lovely partimento fugues by Nicola Sala. He made 60 of them and they are among the best pieces in the repertoire. They are available in a complete edition with critical commentary. Here are some comments: “First as a student and later as a teacher, Sala spent most of his life associated with the conservatory in Naples known as La Pietà dei Turchini. That school’s tradition of teaching young musicians how to create beautiful, fluid counterpoint found its most complete expression in Sala’s many lessons. His partimenti are intended to represent rich tapestries of flowing voices, but the student performer is rarely given more than one voice at a time in notation. The other voices have to come from the performer’s memory and imagination. In the centuries after Sala, the art of such partimenti almost died away. But this new edition will play an important role in its revival.” - Robert O. Gjerdingen, Author of Music in the Galant Style (Oxford, 2007) “For the first time Sala’s highly revered partimenti are published in a scholarly impeccable edition. A turning point in partimento research.” - Giorgio Sanguinetti, Author of The Art of Partimento (Oxford, 2012) Don't hesitate to contact me for more info on prices and shipping: vantour@telia.com See also: vantour.se/index.php#books
Thanks, Peter! You know what? - The Sala is the collection I probably know the best and I use the most. I have both volumes and find it an excellent edition, indeed. There are many excellent exercises especially on all kinds of invertible c.p... The only thing I would complain about that many pieces are a bit lengthy and at times show some redundancies - but of course the share of very good exercises is very high compared to other collections. With the fugues though I didn't get my foot in the door yet, as there are some factors that are a little off-putting to me: they seem very lengthy and many of them appear to be this special type of double fugue where both subject show up right from the beginning (kind of a double exposition) and I don't really know many 'real' examples I could rely on, I'd actually love to see some written realizations of those, to get an idea where this is going. For keyboard fugues I think apart from the 4 Händel fugues there are some very instructive (and short!!) ones in that 19th century Zingarelli edition that's available online (as well two volumes). Have a Merry Christmas, Peter!
Pina says hi to Kia :D
❤❤❤
„practicing cp without writing it down“😂✌️
Interesting on Langloz. I’ve worked through a few now that are indeed very strange birds 😂. Weird figures in places, weird leaps in others, but some of the other subjects seem fine at a glance. My plan has been to proceed with none of the commentary, and try to look at them as hard problems to solve, maybe even correct in places. Curious if you saw the same.
to be fair: several of the subjects aren‘t bad - but the fugues don‘t milk them
Renwick's edition has quite a few unfortunate mistakes that should not have been there.
Just found this channel via the fugue improv video, gonna be binging these
Loved the video, loved the carpet, and loved the dog.
Worth the wait. I’ll eat, drink and $#!7 this over the next few weeks. Fantastic as always.
Are you accepting new students at this time??
8:57 Natural (♮) on e is missing in the score (bar 3). Great video anyway!
Great Video, love the manual sound in Leo's realization and your F major realization
Just when I thought this channel couldn't get any better
Please accept me as your student 😢😢😢
😊😊
Nice video! Where can I find the Lessons of princes Ane's manuscript? I've been searching for the intire internet hehe
you mean the ms or the exercises as edition?
@@pratticamusica se for a edição eu posso te passar. Me manda uma mensagem amanhã para me relembrar
Bravissimo!!
Thanks
Amazing!! 👏👏👏
heyho, Daria, long time no see! Thanks for passing by
Great video! I wonder if Händel changed the subject's head on purpose or accidentally in the later entries of the partimento.
🙏 thank you… yo, that is strange indeed
Sooo good and very instructive! Thank you 🙏
Muchas gracias!
This was awesome! The material is so well presented and I’m grateful also to have the PDFs and your opinions and advice via Patreon. Thank you also to Leonard Schick for the realizations on Organ. The Pleno sound was glorious! I’m just finishing writing my first fugue so this couldn’t be more well timed. What a huge leap it is to be able to improvise one!
Faszinierend
Amazing video as always ❤
Hey Max Reger wasn't wrong, allegedly he wrote the whole Orchestral Fugue for his Hiller Variations op.100 in a single Day during a Trainride. For sure he was one of the greatest Workaholics in Music History.
...one of the greatest workaholics in music history for sure! I was halfway joking, I actually find him a very fascinating person... but it's clear that he wrote a lot just for the publishers or produced music with the sheer intent to spread his name... With all due respect: he doesn't seem to me like a very self critical writer, there is some impressive works (some of them driven by megalomaniac delusion) but there's as well a lot of stuff that's just uncanny, edgy for the sake of being edgy and on the other hand a lot of stuff that to me seems aesthetically glossy/superficial/naive to a degree that's beyond of what I'm willing to tolerate (especially among his piano music and Lieder). But there's of course some real master pieces like Op. 135b, as well as some individual string quartet movements and symphonic pieces that demonstrate authentic expression and impressive construction (that is my personal opinion). And then you have the stories from the pub like the one passed down by Max Brod... an unfathomable person for sure... but this kind of individual is prone to being made fun of, because in a certain way he was just such a try hard :DDD
NEVER CLICKED FASTER
lol
Excellent breakdown of an improvised fugue, and a pretty catchy subject... well done!
I was already missing your videos!

Yep, B major prelude. Nice job.
5:58 the right hand score on bar 3 should be EFD right?
🥰
Great video, you have a deep understanding of Brahms' writing style. Only suggestion is that you could have written one from early Brahms; it seems like all 6 were textures reminiscent of his later works.
YO Caleb! Thanks for passing by, I know your channel, too! On your comment: Actually Brahms is one of those composers where I can‘t really see any further stylistic developement towards later periods of life. Everything I consider as ‚Brahmsian‘ (typical chord voicings, the contrapuntal awareness, the hemiolas, the ‚constructive aspect‘, the 2:3-fetish) it is all there right from the beginning. I‘m no Brahms expert though…
Amazing! Thank you!
Amazing. I know these are Romantic but I like how number 3 reminds me of Scarlatti K. 25
Fantastic !
So much of this sounds like his Concerto No. 2 that it's freaky... well done!
6:19 is this in the actual piece?
it is an improv exercise that executes a circle modulation
This is why I subscribed to you
lol than stay tuned for the next video, cause it's gonna hit the same note
En mi país se dice: eres una verga, muchas gracias amigo
May I ask what software do you use for those notes in your presentations?
you mean the notation software? Finale 2012 in this video… but since a few weeks I use Sibelius ultimate
Awesome content; unrelated but, I like the layout of your sheets; what software did you use ?
hello and THX🙏 I did do this one with Finale 2012, but I recently changed to Sibelius due to a new computer
@@en-blanc-et-noir Nice, thanks.
When I saw your CHOPÍN waltz variation video, I was looking up which CHOPÍN waltz you were playing towards end of video and I couldn’t find it, but I KNEW I recognized it… then finally I found it and realized it was your own WaltZ variation to Chopins mazurka in C# minor❕ hah…. (Also, ‘Shopin’….LOL)
Love love love your channel ❤
