ARTICLES RELATED TO BACH motif | | | |  BACH motif: Encyclopedia - BACH motifIn music, the BACH motif is the sequence of notes B flat, A, C, B natural.
This four-note motif has been used by a number of composers, usually as a homage to Johann Sebastian Bach. The first known example, however, is in a piece by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck—it is possible, though not certain, that he used it in homage to one of Johann Sebastian's ancestors, many of whom were themselves musicians.
The possibility of being able to spell the surname Bach in this way comes about because in German B indicates what in English is called B flat, while H indi ...

The early Greek H stood for /h/, but later on this letter eta (Η, η) stood for /ɛ:/. In Modern Greek this phoneme fell together with /i/, similar to the English development ...

| | | | BACH motif: Encyclopedia II - Fugue - History The term fuga was used as far back as the Middle Ages, but was initially used to refer to any kind of imitative counterpoint, including canons, which are now thought of as distinct from fugues. It was not until the 16th century that fugal technique as it is understood today began to be seen in pieces, both instrumental and vocal. Fugal writing is found in works such as fantasias, ri ...

| | | | BACH motif: Encyclopedia II - Johann Sebastian Bach - Biography
Johann Sebastian Bach - Early years.
Johann Sebastian Bach was a member of one of the most extraordinary musical families of all time. For more than 200 years, the Bach family had produced dozens of worthy performers and composers during a period in which the church, local government and the aristocracy provided significant support for professional music making in the German-speaking world, particularly in the eastern electorates of Thuringia and Saxony. Sebastian's father, Johann Ambrosius Bach, was a talented v ...

| | | | BACH motif: Encyclopedia II - Anton Webern - Webern's music Webern was not a prolific composer; just thirty-one of his compositions were published in his lifetime, and when Pierre Boulez oversaw a project to record all of his compositions, including those without opus numbers, the results fit on just six CDs. However, his influence on later composers, and particularly on the post-war avant garde is acknowledged as immense. His mature works, using Arnold Schoenberg's twelve tone technique, have a textural clarity and emotional coolness which greatly influenced composers such as Pierre Boulez and Karlh ...

| | | | BACH motif: Encyclopedia II - The Art of Fugue - The music The piece is written in parts score without instrument designation, although all of it fits the range of commonly available keyboard instruments of Bach's time, and is playable by a keyboard soloist; Bach possibly intended it to be playable on a range of instruments, and on a variety of instrumental combinations. It has been performed and recorded by harpsichordists, pianists, organists and string quartets among others, and Hermann Scherchen arranged all of the fugues (not the canons) for symphony orchestra as did Wolfgang Graeser. In 2004, Kenneth Amis arr ...

| | | | BACH motif: Encyclopedia II - Luigi Dallapiccola - Life Unlike many composers born into highly musical environments, Dallapiccola's early musical career was irregular at best. Political disputes over his birthplace of Istria, then part of the Austrian empire, led to instability and frequent moves. His father was headmaster of an Italian-language school – the only one in the city – which was shut down at the start of World War I. The family, considered politically subversive, was placed in internment at Graz, Austria, where the budding composer hadn't even access to a piano, though he did atte ...

| | | | BACH motif: Encyclopedia II - Max Reger - Works During a composing life of little more than 20 years, Reger produced a large output in all genres, nearly always in abstract forms, although few of his compositions are well known today. Many of his works are fugues or in variation form, including what is probably his best known orchestral work, the Variations and Fugue on a theme of Mozart (based on the opening theme of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Sonata, K. 331). He also wrote a large amount of music for organ, including the Fantasy and Fugue on BACH (this piece, b ...

Fugue - Number of voices.
The number of voices in a fugue generally ranges from three to five, but eight or even ten voices are possible in large choral or orchestral fugues. Fugues in fewer than three voices are rare, because with two voices the subject can only jump back and forth between the upper and lower voice. The best-known example of a two-voice work is the E minor fugue from Book I of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Two part works which are written ...
