  • Recently I learned some incredible insights about the science behind the canons in J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations with help from my mentor and teacher, David Louie.

    Great video, love the Goldbergs! Always amazes me how Bach is able to stay in one key for such a long piece without it getting boring.Enjoyed your piece too (again!)

    Why is JSB the GOAT? Average a page of music per day over your lifetime and make sure it is all near perfection as to be revered for centuries afterwards. And make sure you do it without technology like electricity or a record collection. Do it mostly in your spare time after work. Only use the most basic musical materials (no odd meters, artificial scales, etc.). And make sure you spend a great deal of time fiddling around with new tuning systems, instruments, performance techniques, etc. And don't let having a large family or suffering tragic losses slow you down too much...

    We need a Bach AI, then maybe we'll get something as musically inventive.

    Beautiful Nahre! Love your composition both melodically and conceptually. David is great. Thank you!!

    I have listened to the lectures by Richard Greenberg but he explained this really badly. This video is the first time that I actually understood what Bach did with his canons variations in the Goldbergs. Thanks.

    The Goldberg Variations belong to the highest treasure possessed by humanity .... and the biggest musical sin was choosing the 'Aria' of the GV for a horror movie like "Hannibal".

    I do not why when I hear the Goldberg Variations I think of Glenn Gould.

    Excellent video as always, Nahre! My favorite canon of his is the canon at the octave from the Art of Fugue! It is absolutely incredible! I suggest you give it a listen when you have the time.

    Nahre puts her creativity in a box, and then it jump kicks right through the lid!

    "That's the genius..." That is why I watch this video. I dont have a musical background but I love music: as far as I understand what you are explaining you show me a part of the genius of Bach. Thank you very much!

    I can remember my Bach addiction started at the age of 4. He is the perfect composer that demonstrated that a simple melody can become the universe. Thank you again for your amazing videos. :-)

    I studied It for my final exam at the Conservatory. When I played the repetition of theme at the end I felt as if I was floating among the planets... It Is an astonishing stunning masterpiece... I am honored to have studied and played It...❤️

    I used to listen to these every day and I remember when I learned these a few years ago, I had no idea of how complicated they really were. Bach is a true genius.
