I like it
It's hard to overstate Bach's melodic genius. Great job, I think you nailed it.

I love Bach!
i love this version! this is exactly how i hear it in my head. thank you so much for having such wonderful pieces played at proper tempos
Very interesting Well played but l am not entirely convinced by the tempo l think it can be played a little bit slower and also with some nuanced expression
Great legato and keeping tempo!
I love watching you play this. I've watched a few other people playing it and they move their hands so fast. But I watch you play it and your hands move so slow and calm, and it sounds perfect. Makes me want to learn to play, although I have not the patience or the talent..
Reminds me of Solfeggietto
Good answer
Love it

Thanks, I enjoyed this.
I started learning this today. I absolutely love making up a Bach fugue by pure improvisation, and do so every day before breakfast. Mostly it sounds crap, but once in a while.....back on track, you have to KNOW to realise. .....and yes, Qb's like music too :)
It's so awesome 😍! It is also VERY FUNNY to play it in 2x mode!
So unusual to see the funny side of Bach! 🤣
Great!
Very good!
super - very nice ! 5 Stars !
luv it
Lovely :) I've just started learning this piece, and it's so much fun!
I loved your interpretation, it really suited the music well. :)
amazing! i just completed the first but im goin to this one cuz its in c
Fantastic.. Would love to learn this piece. The 19th bar is my favorite part.
I used to be able to hammer out Invention #8 in F but have long since lost it.
you are right, that is what I was trying to say, but you explained it better =) all the best for you
No staccatos??
Bach indicated staccato in some of his manuscripts and the copies of these manuscripts by his students (WTC) and definitely forte and piano in the Italian Concerto printed score for two manual Harpsichord, ergo there is more than ample examples to set a precedent for using the above in baroque music.
i actually like all the legato in your interpretation it sounds good and i could deal with even more legato and it would be nice and flowy and it would become your own.
Bach's not supposed to have so much legato. He didn't have a piano back then, he couldn't really do legato.
@@m0ment219 what is finger legato?
Very good, one of your best performances!
Also keep in mind the harpsichord was usually an instrument that was played with tons of notes at a very fast tempo..
It was how the instument was meant to be played..
Piano pieces are usually much slower richer and with a lot of depth and feeling..
Why this is how the piano was mainly meant to be played.. Of course there are lots of exceptions.. it doesn't HAVE to be played like that but it will often sound better if you do..
This is so amazing! I'm playing this piece today at my piano recital.. of course I don't sound anything like that ahhaa.
keep up the awesome work!
no song is supposed to be played at the EXACT same tempo through and through. it is the changes that make a piece interesting and unique. If everyone had played a song the way the composer INTENDED, the composer would have just memorized all his work and kept everything to himself
Nice. Keep up the good work, man.
i love Bach. When i began studying piano my teach put me on invention one. I think if you listen, REALLY LISTEN to what Bach is trying to say in the musical structure itself, you will instinctively find the tempo. When i played 13 i was very much in love with it...and found it to soud most beautiful with the tempo you are playing it with.
Graceful geometry!
Thank You
Nice... you can hear each one of the phrases combining to create perfection....
That's what makes Bach so sublime. Every voice has a role to play, whether a simple two part invention or a complex organ fugue; no single voice is more important than any other. Everyone is welcome at his table of musical equality.
Very true, but still it doesn't sound very exciting at all from a listeners view. I've recently played this song and it sounds more energetic when used with dynamics and not everyone plays as fast or as slow as you so it can vary, that's what music is all about isn't it?
You're right I'm sure, Bach created music in a kind of proportional perfection, but you don't discuss origins of the proportions in your info on the right. I am no scholar, but I believe they come from the greeks, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3+1, the most perfect proportions of architecture or Leonardos renaissance man. I think this is why Bach sounds so good to our ear. Not only does his music inhold the harmony and conterpoint but it is organized in the human scale, most familiar to us all. Well played! 5*
Actually, one could easily argue karate is pretty bad. I took jeet kune do for 3 months and beat a guy 40 pounds heavier then me pretty easily. Look up Jeet kune do it's from Bruce Lee (Best. Fighter. Ever). He was so fast with the JKD techniques, he told a karate champion black belt where he was going to punch him. He punched him in that spot 8 times. Not once could the black belt block it.
Bach had an amazing Mathematical mind, which is clearly evident in so many of his pieces, whcih are like musical algebra. To suggest he DIDN'T have precise tempii in mind is absurd. Beethoven "sexed up" a lot of Bach. Gould puts his own interpretation on them, which is interesting but not baroque...
Keep doing what you are doing BachScholar, you're definetly onto something..
Plano. Traslada al piano la imposibilidad de matices del clave... pero el piano no es el clave y esta música contiene muchas posibilidades expresivas que seguro que Bach apreciaría en un piano moderno. Por ejemplo, destacar el tema cada vez que aparezca, y destacar una nota que "pide" un acento. A fin de cuentas es una pieza de contrapunto imitativo, y no estaría mal hacer oír el tema sobre el resto y darle un poquito más de vida a la interpretación...
actually they dont say staccato on the music (urtext) if you are talking about the "most original" score. The editors have made it staccato on the their editions. But yes you could think it as staccato if you consider baroque style in the music
i remember watching this guy back when i was 12 haha
Beautiful
Commodore 64 commercial :P
I agree. I'm not familiar with your research, but there must be something to it as this performance sounds so much more "right" than the other performances, including those by renowed virtuosos. In listening I feel like I can really hear the relationships between the notes that Bach intented to create.
Inspiring for a burgeoning pianist. : )
Sorry for writting my oppinium in Spanish, I don't have the English enough to express that.. And reffering to the tempo, I've listened a lot of interpretations of this piece which are very fast.. But I liked more your tempo, It gives more disticness to the piece and so sounds nicer for me... Besides, that velocity isn't wrong because in the original sheets the tempo wasn't wrote directly..
hope you understand what I said in Spanish!
Very intresting interpretation!
Regards from Argentina
Well done, all of them! Don´t mind the grudgers! Even if I prefer the eights non-legato, I will recommend your version to my students. Keep it like that! :-)
The last eighth note for the left hand in measure twenty is an E
it's just amazing!
I played it and it was so hard but I still can't play it as quickly as you :(
well done!
Why is it that all of these comments are from either 11 or 12 years ago or 1 or 2 years ago? Why nothing in between?
Because comments were disabled for all those years.
Is it just me or is it satisfying that it is exactly 1:30 seconds.
You probably didn't account for the intro then.
I know, but it’s still satisfying.
ahora la estoy aprendiendo! pero no creo que me suene tan bien como a vos!
Aye, its tricky. I'm becoming an expert in C Minor baroque progressions though....lol...Im quite happy starting simply and building up the complications in that key..Still sound mostly rubbish, though ;) (I hit the record key first on my synth/piano just in case I get something nice )
I was always playing at speed like 0.75, I like that more
Totally agree!!!
Very originalnal
nice, i loved this song so much. i played it for evaluation =D nice man, you really did play it just like bach would have ^^ 5/5
That is very true..
But this is not the harpsichord..
What might sound good at a certain speed played in a certain key at a certain pitch on one instrument might sound like blahh on another instrument..
When ever you take a classical piece and play it on an instrument it wasn't written for it becomes an interpretation.. I would think some adjustments will have to be made so the piece being played agrees with the dynamics and limitations of the particular instrument.
Beautiful, I'm almost done with the Invention no. 4 and perhaps I'll do this afterwards since I'm starting to like bach's work. Would you say, this is more or less hard than the 4th one?
Just different, none of them are easy. Every inv asks for slightly different technic.
necessarily 1/8 console is played portato
but you played it legatto
wow awesome!
i'm playing this song for my piano exam and now i know how it's supposed to done, aha :)
Dominika K same
same
Wow 10 years ago!
goodluck!
You guys still playing or was it all just for vanity’s sake with passing arbitrary exams?
How does he know what tempo it is? What's his method? This sounds a little fast for that piece.
Its old cause they think 480p is high quality
Ten years
Lol, i thougth it was from 2010.
He doesn’t ii old
Yeah, I was like "what?" Then I saw the date.
Uh....I've performed this one and it's a bit too fast for me to enjoy listening. I must say the staccato is missing. You performed it beautifully but it doesn't sound like a piece from the Baroque period as I understand it. Also, I perform it on the harpsichord and your version would sound very interesting on that instrument.
hey drew,
im working on that too--improvising fugues. it's pretty challenging. im not too happy with mine either :-)
Bach=8th notes detached, 16th legato
HA ha I said the exact same thing..
That is where I remember this piece most..
The Commodore 64, with its high end graphics (lol) its sid chip technology and it's affordable price of just... (what was it like 500 bucks back then!!!! and that was considered cheap for a home computer with 664 big bytes of memory!!! ha ha ha ha) It's no wonder the commodore 64 is Americas #1 computer for home use.
The commodore 64 now available at Crazy Eddie!! And his low low prices are insane!!! ha ha
This is very well-played! Does it remind anybody else of the music that's played during the Nimbus Castle stages of Super Mario RPG?
it needs stoccato and it needs to sound more more as if the music is moving forward. Bach's inventions aren't just excersises they are more than that!
Perhaps the more lyrical in Inventions-two voices , J like always this tempo if not melody desappears ( for me )
Well than, I changed my mind. Four weeks to pratice are too long for a 60 secs song. xD Thank you very much for your answer.
SCV
Шо за монотония?
who bloody cares if it is the right tempo or not or if it is the "right" way or not, as so long as someone can play the music from top to end without making mistakes and playing with two hand, is a bloody genius!! i cant even play the piano anymore.
Since you are an English teacher, mind I ask why an English teacher named herself "pianochick"? I am sorry if I am not using correct grammar but people who put people down are bad people, but putting someone down for putting someone else down is just as bad. I just letting you know what I feel about what you just said, and I'm not saying you're a bad person it's just that people need to be more tolerable.
Es distinta, clara, y espectacular para el estudio. Estoy seguro que si Bach vendría a nuestros días y se sentaría a un piano actual le agregaría muchísimos más matices y detalles a sus obras...
My name is Denzel Garrick and I am amazed at your performance of the Bach Inventions. It reminds me of Glenn Gould alot and I will like to thank you for sharing your talent.
i used to play this when i was younger. from what i remember, there are staccatos? but i dont hear any.
I think the crotchets are meant to be more detached to emulate the style of the harpsichord also sorry for the slightly late reply
@@joeyhardin5903 slightly? hahaha
They are non legato.
Buster McMuffin yeah, 9years later
Yea agreed, I'm pretty sure the notes are meant to be detached
It was bairly hearable! If you wouln't had said that I wouldn't had noticed it :-P
2019?
2020?

@@andrewzhang8512you forgot the et
You know it, I didn’t even notice this was in 2008😂😂 I’m learning this rn
Nope, 2020
One of my favorite videos on youtube. I have watched it numerous times. Well done.
Personally, I have no idea what constitutes the "right" tempo - save for that your interpretations of the inventions invariably /feel/ right. I really like your playing of these pieces, especially compared to Gould's; those just feel rushed and blurry.
An 80's computer commercial brought me here.
Bach didn't compose pieces for the piano, but for harpsichord or the organ. Which means the original composition wouldn't have had any dynamics.
I agree, but to be honest I don't think Bach would be stubborn enough to go "Hey! you! that is completely and uterly WRONG!" he might be more open to ideas of different interpretations? who knows... Good piece though, I love it!
Staccato symbols, shoot that editor! Get an "urtext" book of these pieces, the original scores :)
Very good! Shouldn't it be a little more staccato? That was what i was taught
sam_yinyang Because this song is in baroque time.In baroque time only have harpsichord.No piano,so people can’t play staccato on harpsichord
It should. Not an overwhelming amount but just a light touch.
It should be played according the pianist's feelings. We have no idea about how Bach would play this at the pianoforte, what we "know" is based on unprovable assumptions
Portato!
Bach suena mejor en un clave o un teclado felectronioco
but the 8ths notes should not be legato each other, right?
ya
When a poet writes a poem and shares it with the world, his intentions and interpretation of his work aren't really important. Or, rather, they're just one interpretation. I think the same can be said with music. Aiming to do things exactly as the composer intended is fine, but making a piece your own and experimenting is fine too. Why should everyone play the same? Interpretation and creativity shouldn't be stifled.
The great thing about art is that there is no right way, usually. (All imo)
Play back
Music from 1980s Commodore 64 commercials. Also mentioned by Jon Batiste on Live From Here (ua-cam.com/video/WTk5vmeAbUY/v-deo.html) .
um great job, but the eighth notes really should be demi-staccato and there also needs to be be some dynamic change in there too. do you have a 3-part invention #4 by bach by any chance?
Bach didn’t have an instrument capable of dynamics soooo idk where you are getting that from
Wow that’s awesome but why he can play the piano very faster 🙀🙀🐱🐱
mmm, las notas son, pero no respeta el fraseo, ni hablar de los staccato...
That was soo beautiful~~ *sniffs*
I just printed it, and I'm playing it because it sounds really good even though I'm level 10 :)
iM lEvEl tEn
Lol nobody cares, music is more then arbitrary levels that you pay money to pass. If nobody passed the rcm, they would go out of business over night. Did you even finish the invention?
can you release a cd or offer an mp3 of this piece?
Im trying to master this song its hard i sayed up to 3am trying to master it im still having trouble 😫
I love My cats man I had to play that at my piano exam and I wasn’t ready for it and rushed it in two weeks and passed 😂 I’m sure you can do it
poopmaste11 rblx yes and the professor loved it XD
hey, the note 1/8 must be played portato!
muy interesante que interpretes a Bach de esa forma. En la época barroca y comienzos del período siguiente no estaba del todo fijada en la teoría y la práctica la ligadura, por eso algunos dicen que no hay que tocar bach en Legato. Pero yo creo que todas las composiciones de él son espectaculares para estudiar de muchas maneras, pues ya sabemos lo que es Bach respecto a el ordenamiento cerebral, la adquisición de una técnica y la expresividad. Me gustó mucho tu forma de tocar la inv13
But BachScholar, isn't the staccato 'style' what Bach intended? At least for #13? And since the piano wasn't invented yet, the "tinny and twangy sound" would have been the sound Bach was writing for. I think when we perform music we should remain within the confounds of the period, reagardless of our personal feelings, or not perform it. I had to play a contemporary piece in college and hated it but, I performed it how the composer intended, that's all I'm saying.
I think in baroque you didn't play legato.
Play on a harpsichord and you will know why :)
