🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Fugue on a Theme by Albinoni in C-Dur BWV 946

Built on a theme by Albinoni, this fugue unfolds as the subject and answer pass from one voice to another. Each voice proceeds as an independent line, while their overlapping motion creates a closely connected dialogue. A point of interest is the way the relationship between the subject and the surrounding activity changes each time the subject appears in a different voice, gradually building the overall flow. In performance, it is important to shape the subject clearly, bring out each entry, and maintain a balance that keeps the inner voices from being obscured. Preserving finger independence while avoiding an overly heavy sound, and maintaining a steady tempo that does not disturb the pulse, allows the details of the counterpoint to come vividly to life.
