1 Jan 1704 Jahr - J.S. Bach - Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565

Beschreibung:

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, also known as BWV 565, was written by the most distinguished composer of the Baroque Era, Johann Sebastian (J.S.) Bach. The piece was composed in 1704, and is a prominent example of the Baroque style of music. It was written in two sections as a different genre for each section. "The first section of the composition is a “toccata,” derived from the Italian word “tocacare,” which reads - “to touch.” It refers and represents a musical form that is crafted for keyboard instruments and is pre-designed to uncover the performer’s virtuosity - touch...In the second section, “the fugue” is characterized by overlapping repetition of the primary theme, albeit in distinct melodies. This second section reflects the popularity of this piece in the late 17th century and early 18th century". (“Learn about Toccata & Fugue BWV 565 in D Minor by J. S. Bach.” Galaxy Music Notes). From the beginning, the piece immediately grabs the attention of the listener with its dynamic, almost soul-stirring tone. Throughout both sections of the piece, the dynamic shifts enhance this tone, and also the density of the piece.
