That's Johann Sebastian Bach's Fugue in B minor on the Theme by Corelli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday I finally finished this project which any of our students can now take advantage of. It will save you many hours of struggle and help you to master this beautiful fugue easier and quicker. It's a PDF score with 5 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few tips on learning this piece:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Christian-Angel the most difficult part is the final Stretto - the last 3 systems. This is not surprising because in any Stretto composer develops the theme canonically. This means that a few voices have the same melody played but not at the same time - the parts enter before the previous one has finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this fugue it's so important to practice ALL 15 combinations separately: S, A, T, B, SA, ST, SB, AT, AB, TB, SAT, SAB, STB, ATB and SATB. Make sure you don't skip any of the steps and try not to rush - extremely slow tempo works best for practice purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't forget that you don't have to work on the fugue on its entirety, practice of small episodes of about 1 line works best. Start and finish each episode on the downbeat. This helps to connect the fragments between themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my experience, I had to repeat each step at least 3 times without mistakes in a row before I was ready to go on to the next combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if you apply my fingering, you will achieve articulate legato naturally, almost without thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy and let me know how your practice goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis score is free for \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.organduo.lt\/total-organist.html\"\u003eTotal Organist\u003c\/a\u003e students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secrets of Organ Playing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5195832000551,"sku":"null","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1617\/3503\/products\/BWV_579_snippet.jpg?v=1510243551","url":"https:\/\/secretsoforganplaying.com\/products\/bwv-579-with-fingering-and-pedaling","provider":"Secrets of Organ Playing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
