🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Fugue in A-Dur BWV 949

This keyboard fugue unfolds as several voices pass a single subject from one to another. Its progression is shaped by presentations and answers of the subject, while the independent lines overlap and generate forward momentum. When the subject returns, its profile should be made clear; in the intervening passages, it is important to listen for the dialogue between the voices and changes in the musical flow. In performance, organize the balance and articulation of each voice, avoiding excessive emphasis on the principal line while allowing the inner parts to emerge carefully. Maintaining the pulse and expressing the tension and release created by the overlapping lines naturally will bring out the appeal of the work’s structure.
