Christopher FynskGUEST
Heidegger's statement of the formal character of the work culminates with the following passage.
Christopher FynskGUEST
Again, I quote, The strife that is brought into the rift and thus set back into the earth and thus fixed in place is the figure, Gestalt.
Christopher FynskGUEST
Createdness of the work means truths being fixed in place in the figure.
Christopher FynskGUEST
Figure is the structure, Gefüge, in whose shape the rift composes itself, sich fügt.
Christopher FynskGUEST
This composed rift is the jointure, die Fuge, of truth's shining.
Christopher FynskGUEST
What is here called figure is always to be thought in terms of the particular placing, stellen, and end-framing, gestell, as which the work occurs when it sets itself forth.
Christopher FynskGUEST
That's on page
BrandonGUEST
And you just continue to go back.
BrandonGUEST
Each one of these things, we're doing exactly what I think Michael Mayer is doing in his Atlanta Fugue works.
BrandonGUEST
And that is having these sacred emblems.
BrandonGUEST
And as you meditate upon them, like you would...

BrandonGUEST
What site are you using for all this? I just found it.
BrandonGUEST
What site am I using? Here.
NickHOST
I was stuck on Furnace and Fugue, and I don't think you can hear the music the way I'm playing, so unfortunately I'm not going to
BrandonGUEST
be able to.
Matthew WilkinsonHOST
There's a lot of unknowns.
Matthew WilkinsonHOST
I mean, like the list, Fantasy and Fugue on Adnos, for example, you know, they say that it lasted 45 minutes.
Matthew WilkinsonHOST
And so there's a performer out there who tries to make it last 45 minutes.
Matthew WilkinsonHOST
But of course, it's the opposite.
Barry RoseGUEST
So I've never taken the basic grades or anything.
Barry RoseGUEST
So I've never been near a music exam.
Barry RoseGUEST
And CH Trevor said to me when I got there, he said, I know you've passed the BBC solo audition, but I'm going to take you right back to the beginning, to the Bach Eight Short Preludes and Fugues.
Barry RoseGUEST
And he said, you'll thank me for it one day.
MikeHOST
The melody in the violin is plaintively expressive, with double stops adding heaviness to the emotion.
MikeHOST
Track six, Fuga a due corde, book four.
MikeHOST
The fugue subject is lively, and the organ contributes pleasantly to the polyphonic texture.
MikeHOST
I kind of missed the fugue in the previous work, but I wanted to do this one.
22 MINS LATER
RussHOST
It turns out to be quite expressive.
RussHOST
There are a lot of tracks, as we heard, so I appreciated the variety of continuo switching between harpsichord and organ.
RussHOST
In the D minor, Fuga in Fantasia, the multiple violin lines caught my ear right away.
RussHOST
The foreground was really dancey.
Claire EdwardesGUEST
very rarely collaborate with Baroque artists, it has to be said.
Simon MooreHOST
So your first track of music for us today, Claire, is Prelude in Fugue from Bach.
Simon MooreHOST
Now you were a pianist is how you started in this musical life.
Simon MooreHOST
Tell me about
Claire EdwardesGUEST
I was a high achiever already at the age of five seemingly and I wanted to sort of do the same work as the kids in year five and I wanted to play the piano and be as good as this other girl.
Claire EdwardesGUEST
I was always very enamoured with music and practising from that early age, even though it wasn't particularly in my family or my household.
Simon MooreHOST
And this particular Prelude and Fugue though? I mean, these Prelude and Fugues aren't necessarily easy to play.
Simon MooreHOST
They're not beginner pieces.
Evan ShinnersHOST
so thanks for your understanding.
Evan ShinnersHOST
Today's episode is The Fugue, BWV 540.
Evan ShinnersHOST
We covered the Takata in episode 142, and today we're covering the Fugue, of the same Takata and Fugue pair.
Evan ShinnersHOST
But first off, something in the Takata, which is really a big miss for me, the entire opening sections are giant cannons.
Evan ShinnersHOST
How I failed to mention this is simply unacceptable to my listeners, but thanks to one subscriber called Paganel, I won't mess this up twice.
7 MINS LATER
Evan ShinnersHOST
One is tempted to think, does he want to connect them? Does he foreshadow the fugue in the prelude? Or does he reference the prelude in the fugue? Or maybe this is purely modern thinking.
Evan ShinnersHOST
Maybe such an idea of referencing or quoting one's work could never have occurred to Bach.
Evan ShinnersHOST
But in today's episode, we don't fall to that temptation because most scholars think that the Prelude and the Fugue were completely different.
Juri SeoGUEST
And those are the existing contrapuntal forms and I'm like putting some other like more recent elements on top of it like fugue obviously fugue is like 18th century form but I'm using like jazz harmony to redefine what the consonances are basically so redefine the contrapuntal rules a little bit and contraspermus has like this lengthy passage in the middle that are done in quarter tones so that's kind of like 16th century counterpoint but with quarter tones And the last piece, Canon.
Juri SeoGUEST
That one's just like three-fourth Canon, but it's more like inspired by like minimalist style.
Joseph BohigianHOST
Let's listen to an excerpt of Fugue from Jury Says Obsolete Music, performed by Latitude49.
Joseph BohigianHOST
Latitude49 ¦ ¦ so so I'm curious as well what role your training as a classical pianist has played in informing your interests in these musical forms of the past.
Juri SeoGUEST
Yeah, so growing up, playing the piano, I think that that is kind of the origin of me as a musician, because I started playing very early.
Julie FilipecHOST
And I personally loved the organ.
Julie FilipecHOST
And I actually did enjoy one part about the music that I did enjoy was taking the Takata and Fugue and bringing it into the actual music.
Julie FilipecHOST
I thought that was pretty clever.
Julie FilipecHOST
There was a little bit towards the end where I was like, oh, you're crossing the line.
Justin VerasNARRATOR
The reason is that both color and texture of the hair are formed to be extremely constant characters, resisting time and climate with wonderful tenacity and presenting remarkable uniformity throughout large sections of the human family.
Justin VerasNARRATOR
Thus, all the American Aboriginals from Fugue to Alaska, as well as most of the Mongoloid Malay and Eastern Polynesian peoples, are invariably distinguished by the same black length, some what are coarse and lustrous hair, round or nearly round in transverse section.
Justin VerasNARRATOR
No other single physical trait can be mentioned which is to the same extent characteristics of several hundred millions of human beings distributed over every climate zone from the Arctic to the Antarctic waters and ranging from sea level, Fugue, Mackenzie, Australia, to altitudes of 12,000 and even 16,000 feet, Bolivian and Tibetan Latinx.
Justin VerasNARRATOR
So Also, short, black, woolly, or at least crisp or frizzy hair, elliptical and even somewhat flat and transverse section is a constant feature of the Negroes, Hottentots, Bushmen, Negronites, Papuans, Melanesians, Tasmanians.
Justin VerasNARRATOR
In fact, all-- of all the distinctly dark negroid populations, say of a hundred and fifty million of the human family.
