SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:CPE Bach Ensemble / Hansjörg Albrecht
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The Art of Fugue is a large-scale cycle of fourteen fugues and four=0D=0Acanons and demonstrates the contrapuntal art of fugue composition in=0D=0Aperfection. It stands alone as an unrivalled and unique masterpiece.=0D=0AIn 1802, Bach biographer Johann Nicolaus Forkel declared that »The=0D=0AArt of Fugue is too highbrow for the general public.« Over time, this=0D=0Aimage of the spiritual work has changed. At the beginning of the 20th=0D=0Acentury, Alban Berg knew that it was often »considered mathematics«;=0D=0Ahe, on the other hand, was convinced that this work was »profound=0D=0Amusic«. =0D=0A=0D=0AAnd for pianist Glenn Gould, there was no music that moved him more=0D=0Adeeply than the last, unfinished fugue. Looking at the score, one=0D=0Acannot help but be amazed at the multitude of interwoven ideas. As one=0D=0Aof the master’s late works, it remained unfinished. There are many=0D=0Arumors surrounding this as well. Did Bach fall ill while writing it?=0D=0ADid his eye condition prevent him from completing it? Couldn’t he=0D=0Ahave dictated the work to his workshop as he usually did? Or, as a new=0D=0Abook by Meinolf Brüser proves, does The Art of Fugue follow in the=0D=0Atradition of vanitas painting, with Bach staging his own end here? =0D=0A=0D=0AIn reference to this art form, which expresses the finitude of human=0D=0Aexistence and shows humility before God, Bach deliberately ends The=0D=0AArt of Fugue in an incomplete state in the face of his own=0D=0Amortality—a sign of his awareness of the imperfection of his own=0D=0Acompositional work. This thesis is also remarkable because The Art of=0D=0AFugue is generally regarded as the conclusion of Bach’s polyphonic=0D=0Awork, the perfection of which no one has yet been able to match.=0D=0A=0D=0APERFORMERS=0D=0A=0D=0ACPE.BACH.ENSEMBLE.HAMBURG orchestra=0D=0A=0D=0AHIBIKI OSHIMA violin=0D=0A=0D=0AJOSEPHINE NOBACH violin=0D=0A=0D=0ANAOMI SEILER viola=0D=0A=0D=0ATHOMAS TYLLACK violoncello=0D=0A=0D=0AFRANZISKA KOBER double bass=0D=0A=0D=0AHANSJÖRG ALBRECHT harpsichord=0D=0A=0D=0APROGRAM=0D=0A=0D=0AJOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH=0D=0AContrapunctus XVIII=0D=0A
