Programme 64: about Music- The Art of Listening: Fugue Part 2

Loading player...
Today’s programme is about the most advanced and exciting product of the Baroque period – the Fugue.

We already did the lesson section last week, but I’m repeating that section by request (the first 16 minutes). Fugue is not an easy concept, so this is another opportunity to get to grips with Fugue.

I’m about to make it easy to understand!

This week the music is not only for piano – I have fugues for Choir, Organ, Chamber Orchestra, Lute, Violin and Piano. These are by Bach, Handel, Corelli, and Telemann.
I can’t wait to share these with you!
