FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for this video Q: What is the BWV number for this piece? A: 578. Q: What instrument is that? A: The instrument here is a Post fortepiano (a sampled instrument). Q: Who is performing? A: This rendition isnt exactly a performance in the traditional sense; it was done by Stephen Malinowski (smalin) using the conductor program; you can read more about that here: http://www.musanim.com/tapper/... Q: What do the colors in the bar-graph score mean? A: The colors show which "voice" is playing. The bass (lowest) part is doubled, so the bottom two voices always move in parallel (at the distance of an octave). Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself? A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; you can get the (Windows) software here: http://www.musanim.com/player/... There are lots of places on the web where you can get MIDI files; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first: http://www.classicalarchives.c... Q: Could you please do a MAM video of _________? A: First, check my "to do" list: http://www.musanim.com/all/MAM... ... If the piece isn't listed, read the "Could you please do a MAM video of _________?" item on my main FAQ: http://www.musanim.com/mam/mam... ... and if you think I'd consider doing it, email me (stephen at musanim dot com). . .

Ah, I see my; my understanding of the term "fugue" was rather circumscribed. Is the G minor fugue meant to stand alone, or is it part of a group? Was it composed for any specific purpose or occasion, or for any specific instrument(s)? (sorry to pepper you with so many questions at once) Earlier today and on another video, I (tentatively) corrected someone who claimed that this was written for pianoforte.

Oh god, I just love this piece.

>Hundreds? Let's see. One in the Musical Offering. 15-20 in the Art of Fugue (depending on how you count). Some in the Brandenburg concertos, cantatas, masses, motets, oratorios. Some in the lute suites and solo violin sonatas. About 30 organ fugues. 48 in the WTC. A dozen or two for keyboard (paired with a prelude or stand-alone). Okay, so maybe only one or two hundred surviving, with about a hundred of them being "just" fugues (as opposed to fugal parts of pieces).

Hundreds? Really? I knew there were around at least 200 cantatas, but I had absolutely no idea Bach wrote that many fugues. I wonder why that other fellow thought this was part of the tocatta and fugue in D minor.

>is this a part of "Toccata & Fugue in D minor" no, it's its own piece. >How many fugues there exists? probably millions; by Bach, hundreds, maybe thousands ...
