Members henre Posted November 10, 2006 Members Share Posted November 10, 2006 It's a {censored}ing badass one, that's fo shizzle. I want to play it - anyone know what it's called? If it's really called "little fugue" then I will rofl. http://download.yousendit.com/FE1F0CED0E008C4D EDIT: Nevermind, found it, Fugue in Gm BWV 578. Now I just need to find a chart for it online...

Members TheProteus Posted November 10, 2006 Members Share Posted November 10, 2006 The problem is that BWV 578 is traditionally an organ piece played with three registers (left hand, right hand, foot pedals). I haven't found many decent orchestrations for piano. They either chop out the bass register or try to combine the bass register with the left hand performance and a sustain pedal which muddies up the whole fugue.

Members henre Posted November 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yeah, I realise this now... The first I heard the piece was that MIDI file I posted; and the fact that the MIDI file plays it on a harpsi made me think it's playable on piano. Ah well. At least I found a chart for Leyenda on the way there. Spanish piano ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Purity_Control Posted November 11, 2006 Members Share Posted November 11, 2006 You could always sequence up the pedal part and play the rest along with it? Or would that kill the fun? There's MIDI pedalboards available too, but that might be going a bit far if it's just this piece you want to play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members henre Posted November 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2006 I actually want to play it on my old-fashioned acoustic concert upright piano, not on a synth or anything silly like that. Yeah. Leyenda is actually a pretty easy piece aside from the fast octave jumps with the right hand. And the middle bit sounds killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted November 11, 2006 Members Share Posted November 11, 2006 STG, that harpsi looks unplayable positioned as it is so far back from the bench. Shouldn't the manuals be move much closer to hang over the pedals a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members suitandtieguy Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Originally posted by mate_stubb STG, that harpsi looks unplayable positioned as it is so far back from the bench. yes. that is a side effect of letting the photographer do the shoot unassisted by someone who has a clue about the subject. this is similar to the biggest studio in St Louis with a shot of their recording room with a very expensive Neumann close-miking the keys of an Hammond organ on their website. that was equally stupid. the harpsichord, bench, pedals, and bass harpsichord unit are all separate pieces. the harpsichord was placed on the bass harpsichord improperly, that's all.

If you like that, then listen to some Scott Joplin he also did on the pedal harpsichord: http://fatbaron.com/joplin-pedalharpsichord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
