New Bach Video Fugue n 6 in D Minor BWV 851 WTC1
on: September 13, 2025, 08:48:20 AM
Dear Friends,

This wonderful fugue (à 3) is full of ingenious devices, for it contains not only strettos, but inversion of the theme. The latter has the two -fold formation so frequently to be met with in Bach, in its first half it advances quietly by diatonic steps, and in its second becomes somewhat passionate, concluding on the fifth and, by way of interrogation, with a shake.
It was really fun to study it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Greetings from Italy
