| bach prelude in c major piano: Bach's Well-tempered Clavier David Ledbetter, 2002-01-01 Bach's Well-tempered Clavier (or the 48 Preludes and Fugues) stands at the core of baroque keyboard music and has been a model and inspiration for performers and composers ever since it was written. This invaluable guide to the 96 pieces explains Bach's various purposes in compiling the music, describes the rich traditions on which he drew, and provides commentaries for each prelude and fugue. In his text, David Ledbetter addresses the main focal points mentioned by Bach in his original 1722 title page. Drawing on Bach literature over the past three hundred years, he explores German traditions of composition types and Bach's novel expansion of them; explains Bach's instruments and innovations in keyboard technique in the general context of early eighteenth-century developments; reviews instructive and theoretical literature relating to keyboard temperaments from 1680 to 1750; and discusses Bach's pedagogical intent when composing the Well-tempered Clavier. Ledbetter's commentaries on individual preludes and fugues equip readers with the concepts necessary to make their own assessment and include information about the sources when details of notation, ornaments, and fingerings have a bearing on performance. |

| bach prelude in c major piano: Interpreting Bach at the Keyboard Paul Badura-Skoda, 1995 The ever-increasing number of performances of Bach's music is a sign of its enduring vitality. Yet there exists a diversity of interpretation of a magnitude that probably applies to no other composer. Assessing the varying merits of these interpretational approaches, and getting to grips with the sources and documents on which they are based, can be extremely difficult for a modern performer. Paul Badura-Skoda, who has been studying and performing Bach's keyboard music for more than forty years, here presents a host of valuable new insights drawn from his deep knowledge of the sources and of the problems of interpretation. He looks in detail at the various aspects of Bach's music, providing chapters on rhythm, tempo, articulation, and dynamics. He also examines the instruments for which Bach's music was intended, and discusses interpretational issues arising from this, as well as problems of sonority. The second part of the book is devoted to a comprehensible discussion of ornamentation with a detailed examination of the signs and symbols used by Bach. This discussion is prompted not only by its central importance to baroque music in general, but also because the author believes so much of Bach's ornamentation in current performance practice is monotonous and fails to correspond to the baroque style at all. Sometimes contentious, always stimulating, Paul Badura-Skoda's text conveys a passion for an informed interpretation of Bach's music based upon a recognition and respect for Bach's musical and intellectual intentions. Copiously illustrated throughout with music examples, Interpreting Bach at the Keyboard will take its place as a standard work for all students and performers of Bach's keyboard music. |

| bach prelude in c major piano: HOTEL CHOPIN Elizabeth Cowley Tyler, 2010-06-29 It is 1989, and as Paris prepares to celebrate the bicentennial of the French Revolution, Marguerite Brunel, a well-known novelist, begins to write her memoir in an attempt to finally face the ghosts, pain, and turbulence of her past. She revisits the places in Paris where she lived with her family on Isle St. Louis during the Occupation when her father’s restaurant was occupied below by members of the Resistance and above by the Nazi officers. She connects with her memories of her relationship with Thomas Stassler, a Nazi translator who speaks beautiful French and shares her love of French Literature. Her illicit relationship with him is her first love affair, and it leaves a lasting imprint. The process of writing the memoir leads Marguerite to wander around Paris seeking the places of her past and activating her memories. The narrative is not linear but follows the bubbling up of Marguerite’s recollections during the course of her wanderings. Her marriage to the abusive Roger Merle when she is twenty-seven liberates her from her teaching duties and allows her time to begin to write her novels, but the price for this becomes harder and harder to pay. When he gets hold of her journals from the time of her relationship with Thomas, he threatens to expose her as a collaborator—something that would surely ruin her literary career. Probably because he realizes the impact this would have on his own reputation, he doesn’t do this, and he eventually releases her from the bondage of the power struggle that is their marriage. In an attempt to escape the aftermath of her divorce, she travels to Florence where she meets Alberto, a painter of large abstract canvases, and has an intense affair with him that liberates the sensual woman in her and builds on her experience with Thomas. With some reluctance, Marguerite returns to Paris to work on her next novel, City of Painters and Bankers. It is when she meets Pascal Dubois that her life changes forever. They begin their relationship at the Paris Conservatoire where he is a piano teacher and a composer. Marguerite has begun to take piano lessons and literally runs into him one day in the hall. She knows immediately that he will change her life, and he does. When his bitter and unhappy wife refuses to give him a divorce, he leaves his marriage, moves into a small apartment, and he and Marguerite begin a series of rendezvous at Hôtel Chopin before moving in together. It is at a midnight mass at Notre Dame that they have their personal marriage ceremony without benefit of church or state sanction. When they move in together in an apartment at 6 Rue du Dragon, Marguerite begins to live the happiest days of her life. Pascal begins to compose more, and her writing flourishes. It is during their time spent in an apartment at San Malo overlooking the Atlantic Ocean that they are forced to face the fact that Pascal is very ill. The first diagnosis is severe bronchial pneumonia, which is treated with antibiotics to some effect. However, when he fails to fully recover, they are forced to face the severity of his illness. He is diagnosed with a pernicious form of lung cancer, and Marguerite begins a death watch that ends in her helping Pascal to die by giving him an overdose of his pain medication in combination with the morphine he is receiving by injection. Marguerite keeps this devastating outcome to herself, and all that the world knows, so she thinks, is that Pascal’s untimely death is from his cancer. Several years after Pascal’s death, at the time Marguerite begins her memoir, a letter from Evan Dubois, Pascal’s son, informs her that there will be a CD produced of Pascal’s piano performances. It is when this turns into a public celebration that Marguerite begins to feel uneasy. She attends the ceremony and relives her relationship with Pascal while hearing his performances. When the concert is over, she is accosted by Charlotte Dubois, Pascal’s wife, and accused of murdering Pascal. She threaten |
| bach prelude in c major piano: A Practical Approach to 18th Century Counterpoint Robert Gauldin, 2013-03-04 Practical work in writing counterpoint! This volume emphasizes developing analytical and writing skills in the contrapuntal technique of the eighteenth century. The orientation is strongly stylistic, dealing mainly with the polyphony of the late Baroque period. Three aspects are stressed throughout: practical work in writing counterpoint, utilizing various textures, devices, and genre of the period; historical background, to establish the origins of different forms and justify the pedagogical method employed here; analysis of selections from music literature, often in voice-leading reductions. After an opening chapter that reviews some general features of the late Baroque period, there is a brief survey of melodic characteristics, and a study of procedures associated with two, three, and four voices. |
