J.S. Bach

2009-10-14T00:52:00.014+08:00

A wide variety of music, including some by Bach, was sent into the far reaches of outer space on the two Voyager Spacecraft in the 1970s. When eminent biologist and auther Lewis Thomas was asked what music he would want to sent from Earth into outer space, he answered, "I would send the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach." After a pause, he added, "But that would be boasting."

"Without Bach, God would be a complete second rate figure. Bach's music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe can not be regarded a complete failure" -- Emil Cioran

Url: http://www.sheilascorner.com/bach.html
"Bach as a Violinist - One point which has been debated over the years is the level of Bach's own violin playing and in particular whether he or anybody else at that time was good enough to play these pieces. I suggest three arguments in support of his performance ambition: First of all, there are fingerings in the manuscripts, which indicates that practical performance was at some point attempted. Secondly, I find it incredible that anybody could look at Bach's education and job history and assume that he was anything less than an excellent violinist. His first instrument was the violin - he began with his father at the age of six, before studying any keyboard instruments. He worked his way through school playing the violin, his first employment after school was as a violinist, and just prior to his position in Cöthen he was employed as Konzertmeister in Weimar, a court with a rich violin tradition. His keyboard writing certainly is testimony to the general physical co-ordination of his fingers, and we know from today's young virtuosi the residual ease of technique which comes from early study. He probably did not have the brilliance of more celebrated virtuosi; in particular the solo sonata by Pisendel demands more ease in high positions than Bach requires, the ability to stretch a tenth, and also some tricks of staccato bowing. The most salient difficulty in Bach's pieces is the complexity of his unusual double stopping, which take full advantage of closed positions. But this had been part of German violin tradition since Biber, and that is the third point: that many of the physical difficulties that later (Italian-trained) violinists have found in these pieces were not necessarily so problematic for Bach, who seems to have been quite at home with the most complicated left hand movements. In my opinion these pieces were definitely intended for practical performance."

Hilary Hahn "Voice and Violin"

Gidon Kremer "Back to Bach"
"These (Bach's works) are important works to which you keep returning because the are the wellspring of all music. And so I felt an increasing desire to return to Bach. I can't account for it logically. I am not trying to say anything important here. At some point I felt the need to play this music again."

----------------------------------------------------
Dounis "Violin Players' Daily Dozen"
"It is a well known fact that after the violin is taken out of the case for the first time every day, the first two hours or more are wasted in REGAINING THAT FEELING OF EASE, FLUENCY AND SURETY WHICH THE VIOLINIST EXPERIENCES AT THE END OF HIS DAILY PRACTICE. How much time could be saved, how much energy could be spared, and how much more profitable would the daily practice be if that feeling of ease, fluency and surety can be had AT THE BEGINNING of the day's work instead of at the end, by practicing specific exercises for a few minutes composed according to scientific rules based on psycho-physiological laws. The scales, the etudes and the compositions to be learned would not present any more "ugly or rough" spots, as the fingers and the bow would be much more responsive and ready to obey the impulses of the player's mind."

Bach Partita No. 2 Chaconne

2009-09-04T13:47:00.021+08:00

Chaconne is a dance originated from South America. It has a moderately slow rhythem, rhythm, with a recurring moving bass pattern. It has been said that Bach wrote it for his first wife, Maria Babara, after he returned from a trip to discovered that she has died.

Johannes Brahms said: "On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind."
