I started playing piano a year ago, and I am still early in this journey. Hopefully I will good enough to understand some of his fugal works in a few years.
When I was studying in Hungary a few years ago all I played in terms of Baroque Music was Bach - started with the two-part inventions, then made my way through the three parts and the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier. You can't go wrong really getting to know JS!
Bach is a man with anglic feelings no one can ever beat him in composing music ,, when actuly listen to bach music from start to the end its all written just perfectly and butiful this man 100% he was blessed from someone ,,,, he is trully legendary and his music is not natural music its something like blessed music and he is the master of music all time,, not even mozart or beethoven can compose those ( fuges ) that bach was composing them easly,,, the fuge is very hard music to be composed it needs someone really really jeenus becus this kind of music maybe from the bigining its easy to be composed but after 2 min its gona be harder and harder and harder thats why bach is jenus he can compose a fuge with even 7 min and its all written perfctly thats so amazed !
Really nice video :), I like how you explain all the things. At 5:50 I was confused, bc you said it was an easy prelude(bwv 847 Prelude nr. 2, its very challenging for me) later on I realised the you mean the prelude of bwv 846
The first piece I ever learned on piano was Prelude in C Major because somebody told me it was easy and I should start there. I was able to do it over the course of about 3 months but this is NOT the piece I should have started with. This, friends, is why you get a teacher.
Really? The Fugue in c major is 9 rcm!!!! I started playing piano 6 months ago and im playing this piece because the prelude resulted soo easy for me!!!
It's imperative people know that the well tempered clavier is much much much more difficult than his French and English suites. Fugues are extremely difficult and most of them in WTC are 4 voices
Hola, me encanta tu canal, tienes videos muy interesantes e ilustrativos. Ojalá algún día hagas uno de las sonatas de Scarlatti desde las más fáciles a las más difíciles. Saludos
You make no mention of Book II of the Well-Tempered Clavier. The pieces in this part are comparable in ease or difficulty to those in the first part. There are also the Italian Concerto and the Overture in the French Style.
When I decided to learn piano it was after watching silence of the lambs and the first piece I taught myself was the Goldberg variations and I played / memorized them up to the third variation. Now as a pianist of 1 year Im trying to learn the inventions, however I find the invention 4 d minor to be way harder. Hmmmmmm
Hi Allysia first of all I love your videos, they're suuper informative especially for a beginner like me. I have a quick question. I've only been playing the piano for about 3 weeks now on the ones at my university, but I want to continue practicing over the summer. Do you have any recommendations on keyboards? Preferably something affordable. I know quality ones are going to be really expensive, but I just want something I can practice on. Any input would be great. Thanks!
I have to agree with moglipianist. Look for a digital piano with weighted keys, that's touch sensitive, and has a decent amount of polyphony (amount of notes that can be played at once, this is important when sustaining lots of notes). The Yamaha p45 is a great starter piano. It has 88 keys, 64 key polyphony (not great but plenty for a beginner), and weighted keys (feels like a real piano). Casio has some cheaper pianos in the PX series also. I think Kawai and Roland have a few cheaper ones too. Watch out for "keyboards," a lot of them have very light spring action and don't feel like a real piano at all. This would be obviously be bad to practice on, because when you switch to a real piano it's going to feel very different!
Thanks everyone! It's really not my area of expertise, so I'll defer to you guys for details - and just want to state again how important weighted keys, and a full-length keyboard is. Plus you'll want to pick up a damper pedal if the keyboard doesn't come with one.
Hi I always wanted to be able to play Chopin's Etude op 25 no 5, or known as "wrong note" since I was a little ABRSM grade 6. At the time it was far too difficult for me, but now as I am finishing up my grade 8, the piece seems doable. Do you think I should attempt the Etude?
When your a Level 3 to 5 pianist and your shocked how you teacher put in a Lvl 9 piece on your list of repetoire. Boy she really wanted me to be challenged with the piece or really wanted me to grow with it! Unfortunately it was too hard for me to tackle hopefully I'll kill that Prelude and Fugue in C minor in the butt years later as I grow and improve
Hi, I'm from Australia, our music exams are through the AMEB, would love to know what level these pieces would be for our AMEB exams? Thanks ( love your videos by the way!)
The B flat minor prelude and fugue from WTC1 is "easy" and it's Bach at possibly his most romantic. Don't let the fact that the fugue is in five voices, it's a slow piece and relatively easy.
I am surprised you didn't mention the Italian Concerto or the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue. I was told more than once that these two pieces were also "technique deadly." But thank you for your ranking of the pieces you did review.
I don't know if there are others, but I think some preludes from the well tempered clavier are highly accessible. I've played the prelude no.1 from the first book and it is very easy and very cute! I recommand to the begginners. :)
It's very often a matter of perspective with Bach I think, some of the pieces of Das Wohltemperierte Klavier could be considered as Henle 9 I think, just look at the a minor fugue of book 1, but it depends what your way of interpretation is with Bach, if you want to play it with a bit more legato it can be extremely challenging, I think since Henle is all about the authenticity of the piece, and the piano Bach used really only being able to play staccato, Henle puts some of these pieces at a lower level
I think henle 7 is not a bad rating for the piece. I have not played it and it certainly looks hard. Though you must take some Goldberg variations and some pieces of the Art of the Fugue into consideration too, which I think are harder still
@@DirkdeZwijger Yeah tbh, I think Henle 9 is a bit too much anyway, like Beethoven Appassionata is the same level as Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit? Like it doesn't even come close.
Could it be that you might have made a mistake with the prelude from the wohl temeperierten klavier, because the c minor prelude in my opinion is rather hard while on the other hand the one written in c major is considered the easy one
It is an underrated one, but great start for beginners who love Chopin, just make sure that you can reach a 10th on the keyboard, coz there is a 10th note in the 9th bar.
I think Bach's Little Fugue is one of the hardest cuz you have to play a melody with the right hand, a different melody with the left hand and a different melody with your feet so it looks like your dancing around its kinda ridiculous.
What are you thoughts on Anime piano? U type piano on UA-cam and most of them are from Anime sound track what's so special about them? THe melody are nice and all but the left hand are really hard. Why is it so popular? I mean now you ask someone who is new why u wanna learn piano most say they want to play anime OST do you play anime piano?
I'll try, and I found an edition of them by Czerny with perfect fingering. The first variation feels like his book of little preludes, and there is another early variation that is slow and short.
Es una de las invenciones mas faciles de las 15, no veo porque te da problemas. La unica parte difícil es de los compases 13 al 15, todo lo demas esta superfacil.
Wait what? Prelude and fugue in c minor bwv 847 are a lot harder than any Goldberg variations or any art of fugue pieces Can anyone explain me what is happening?
I have the piano skill of a 7 year old... (not a good 7 year old but like that one child who only know what a half note is...) while my friend is playing the swan- I am playing the simplified canon.
The BWV 847 is not really easy. Especially the prelude seems to be harder than the fuge. I still struggle with the fast notes in this piece. The well known c major prelude is easy and ist followed by a quite hard fugue.
That depends, Henle is based on difficulty, abrsm and rcm are not really good at determining the difficulty. For instance, mozart Turkish march is RCM grade 8 and so is most of Bach's inventions. But henle is different

I started in August of last year. It has been a gratifying journey so far. Stick with it! Your wishes will come true soon enough.

The more you push yourself, the faster you'll learn. Just don't take shortcuts. Get down the fundamentals. Pay attention to timing and fingering.

bach has written fugues in 5 and 6 voices too
Ricercare (musicalisches opfer) = 6 vox
Credo in unum deum from Mass in b minor is a 7 voice fugue!!!
@Wolfgang Groypzart yeah but the fugue in c# minor from the well tempered clavier (vol 1) is a keyboard work. And its got 5 voices
You are so generous and motivating piano teacher!! Thank you so much!
Please do one of these video's about Mozart's and Schubert's work too
do Mozart next? I like this kind of video because I can really dream hahahaha lol
I wish there was a channel just like this for violin ;-;
Well, there's Twoset violin tho

Coollllleestt videooooo!!!
Thank you thank you
ayyyyyy heyyy Allysia!
First year of piano, I'm learning Aria, from The Goldberg Variations, and I didn't know it was so hard.
It's not the Aria that is hard. It's the variations where it really takes off with the tempo.
TheOpeningstar Yes it doesn't surprise me, I found it pretty easy.
j N honey you need to have several seats
Thank you so very much! This gives me some pieces to go to in order to advance.
A very helpful video! Thank you so much!
You are the pride of Canada! 🙂
Could you do a similar video on Scarlatti/Handel?
Really excellent video. Nice summary of Bach. BTW, partita has both hard 't' not 'partischa' and Clavier has a hard r, not 'clavieh'
Thanks!
Could you listen to the recording I made of Chopin's Etude op25. no1 on my channel and tell me what you think? I am auditioning with it this friday
I love your work. You explain perfectly and if Ill take my degree, it will be thanks to you as well. You are really helping me out.
It's imperative people know that the well tempered clavier is much much much more difficult than his French and English suites. Fugues are extremely difficult and most of them in WTC are 4 voices
Thank you so much for the info:)
The preludes and gigues from English suites are hard like some works from WTC.

Learning my first bach piece right now, two part invention no.2 in c minor and it is definitely difficult
I've learned that piece. It wasn't very challenging for me but to be honest, it's confusing.

Hello again
@@octave11thpianist58 :))
Could it be that you might have made a mistake with the prelude from the wohl temeperierten klavier, because the c minor prelude in my opinion is rather hard while on the other hand the one written in c major is considered the easy one
hey!! I love your videos!! Could you please do Prelude in A Major by Chopin? I love that song :)
Ben Atchison It's a late intermediate/early advanced piece, around RCM grades 5-7. It's one of the easier preludes.
It is an underrated one, but great start for beginners who love Chopin, just make sure that you can reach a 10th on the keyboard, coz there is a 10th note in the 9th bar.
Hi! I have a question, what do you do to attain ear mastery? like being able to play by ear
A little picky but, the R is pronounced in clavier, Bach was German, Klavier/Clavier was just a word for clavichords and fortepianos.
Thanks!
The easiest Prelude and Fugue for WTC imo is probably "Prelude and Fugue in Bb Major: BWV 866"
What diff would be his italian concerto? (1st mov)
I think Bach's Little Fugue is one of the hardest cuz you have to play a melody with the right hand, a different melody with the left hand and a different melody with your feet so it looks like your dancing around its kinda ridiculous.
What are you thoughts on Anime piano? U type piano on UA-cam and most of them are from Anime sound track what's so special about them? THe melody are nice and all but the left hand are really hard. Why is it so popular? I mean now you ask someone who is new why u wanna learn piano most say they want to play anime OST do you play anime piano?

It's back up!
pianoTV yay! Can't wait
+pianoTV What are the most difficult pieces you've learnt?
I think I remember reading that you've done Grade 10 RCM.
Glenn Gould made an interesting comment that the preludes and the fugues dont really go together
Do you think it would be possible to learn Aria and 1 or 2 of the Goldberg variations if you're an advanced student? (RCM grade 9ish)
You could try - the first variations, if I remember correctly, aren't quite as difficult.
I'll try, and I found an edition of them by Czerny with perfect fingering. The first variation feels like his book of little preludes, and there is another early variation that is slow and short.
Aria is quite easy in my opinion, one of the first pieces I learned, very nice
But it is saturated with trills and turns. I hate turns but I love trills.
Eddie Younis it's up to you mate, go ahead if you want to, easy piece and beautiful at the same time, if I can play it you can play it too :)
I'm working on Inventions, but I am beginner
I'm learning Bach's Invention in B-Flat Major and oh my Jesus I kinda hate it
Because it's difficult?
Es una de las invenciones mas faciles de las 15, no veo porque te da problemas. La unica parte difícil es de los compases 13 al 15, todo lo demas esta superfacil.
How Can I know Grade of a song?
Didn't he write 48 preludes and fugues (2 books)?
FYI, sinfonia is pronounced with an accent on the last I in Italy. Sinfon-I-a, not sin-FO-nia.
What about Brahms?
Concertos?
Wait what? Prelude and fugue in c minor bwv 847 are a lot harder than any Goldberg variations or any art of fugue pieces
Can anyone explain me what is happening?
They really aren’t, in my experience. All you need is freakishly long skeleton fingers and pure caffeine.
Really great video. But I bristle every time you pronounce "Klavier" and "partita." (kla-veer, par-tee-ta)
Wich prelude and fugue is the hardest one?
From the WTC? Maybe the number 20 in A minor
Do this video again, however add some of the music.......:)
I have the piano skill of a 7 year old... (not a good 7 year old but like that one child who only know what a half note is...) while my friend is playing the swan- I am playing the simplified canon.
Toccata and Fugue in D minor is easy
The BWV 847 is not really easy. Especially the prelude seems to be harder than the fuge. I still struggle with the fast notes in this piece.
The well known c major prelude is easy and ist followed by a quite hard fugue.
I can’t even play bwv 119 polonaise in g minor and it’s listest as the easiest
Alexander Scriabin?
Great video!! But it's kind of funny that she says "Bak" instead of Bach
So the hardest is basically where Glenn Gould began. lol. Didn't realise that.
Did you missed the Italian Concerto for piano solo? well it isn't easy anway
im starting goldberg variations anyone have any tips?
I have a tip! Don't play it. Lmfao, just joking. I don't have any tip since I'm like noob to play that. But I wish you good luck.
Henle level 6 = RCM level 10/ABRSM level 8. Henle 5-5.5 is RCM level 9
That depends, Henle is based on difficulty, abrsm and rcm are not really good at determining the difficulty. For instance, mozart Turkish march is RCM grade 8 and so is most of Bach's inventions. But henle is different
actually, bwv 847 is one of the harder ones
I am just learning Bach & my teacher says bach gets worst I am learning the fifteen two part inventions
