[The Joy of Organ Playing] Re: Toccata,Adagio&fugue BWV564

Sorry Dee,


The Fugue bar I mean is number nine (not eight
as I previously stated;)

Instead of stressing the 1st and 4th beat
of the 6/8 measure, I in this particular
bar stress the 1st, 3rd and 5th beat - this
pretending it is an 3/4 bar. Quite common
procedure in Baroque and also later, Brahms
for instance. In German I know its called
"hämiol", or very similar. Perhaps you don't
have that word in English??

The Toccata bar 36 I'll have to check tomorrow,
since I don't have the score at home (and if
I can't count to eight by memory, I'm sure I
can't make it to 36 :-)


Yours
/ Siggy

... I always felt it is important to stress the two beats of the 6/8 for the fugue. 3/4 is not the same as 6/8 in music. But actually, nowadays I,...

Thanks, The fugue tempo is critical for a 2 in-the-bar 6/8. I can take the tempo to quaver = 190 but will it take it to the gigue tempo? Very 'detache'...

... I guess it's a copy error. I don't know weather you are comparing bar 35 to 80 or some of the other bars around there, but they seem identical to me (the...
