    The prelude's real easy but once you get to fugues like this, it's a nightmare! Well done!

      Thanks! Yes this fugue is actually a whole lot harder than it looks on the page, haha. It is seriously a 4-voice fugue for the majority of the fugue - a lot of the 4-voice fugues are mostly just 3-voice, with a couple 4-voice spots...

    I'm amazed by this passage at 0:39 where the main theme comes simultaneously in C from the left hand and in G from the right hand. Breathtaking.

      There's also the theme coming in the Tenor (E minor). This overlapping of themes is called stretto and in this fugue there are many more than the one you outlined. This fugue is also known as "Stretto Fugue"!

      Just a tip for sight reading: don't look at your fingers, just the score. That way you can focus on the notes rather than having to glance down every few seconds. Only look when you have some big jumps or smth

      Try to draw the colors in the video on the musical notes on the sheet I swear it works because you can clearly see the 4 voices divided and it comes more easy to learn ❤ also you can improve by doing one voice at a time and then adding them together im making so much progress so rapidly;)

    loved it. Bach's fugues are so amazing and you played it really well. Wish i could play one of his fugues, but this'll take some effort and time for me, i just have been playing for 1 year and the hardest piece that i can play is the etude op 10 no 4 :/

    Surely if played on the organ, crotchet closer to 68 bpm is more beautiful , gentle and appropriate..
    Rather than 125 bpm being played on the piano.
