🎹 Sheet music transcription: payhip.com/b/n7A96
After the overwhelming success of the Swedish ice-cream truck fugue ( • Writing and playing a ... ), it was about time to transform yet another famous tune into a fugue.
Few pop songs are as catchy as Aqua's hit "I'm a Barbie girl". Here, it becomes a three part fugue, following its traditional structure and backed with some explanatory graphics.
A fun summer project, an homage to pop music of the 90's and a way to get back into piano! 😀

exactly: the understanding of musical structure and thematic development depends on how well the audience knows the theme. With a familiar theme the audience does not need to think or pay attention to detect all the occurrences of the theme and variations. And in this case, it is really well written and executed. And it is not that "Barbie girl" was a Bach piece, but that we have uncovered the inner Barbie of Bach.

What a funny little fugue! I must say, in the whole "but it's a fugue" KZfaq subgenre it's quite rare to find one with such exquisite counterpoint. As a composer myself I think it would have been nice to hear the subject a bit more, in its non-variated form; but as I am listening to it again I think maybe it was the right choice, for a piece of this length. But great writing nonetheless. Also a brilliant interpretation. (sorry for bad English, I'm Italian)
@andrewtessman9921
@andrewtessman9921 Жыл бұрын
I concur that the counterpoint is exquisite; it's a delightful and short video/work. However, I also agree entirely that the subject should be more present in its original, non-varied form. Having seen the length of the video (126 seconds), I was astonished at how long the subject was relative to the whole composition; One could easily include a whole new development to keep the piece more "proportional".

Brilliant, Josep! If only I could forget the barbie girl "earworm" because this, yours, now is actually seriously nice music. Johann Sebastian played night concerts in (sort of despised) coffee houses - pubs serving that novelty drink coffee. The German name for these worldly concerts was "Nachtmusik" (night music). So Wolfgang Amadeus referenced to that when he wrote "Eine kleine". And then the upcoming Romanticists referenced the night music with their Romanised translation "Nocturne", turning the "music" part into a silent assumption. In the evolution, Nachtmusik as nocturne turned from saloon-fähig into "salonfähig" to stick to German idiom ("salon" references the most posh room in a home where important guests would be entertained and "fähig" means "capable" or "suited for") with Chopin's performances in the palais de ville homes of the Paris well-to-do. Probably JSB's Nachtmusik performances were a side job to earn some additional money. Or JS felt them as his Christian duty to enlighten the sinners in these pubs. Well capable of musical jokes, I imagine JSB to do something like this to draw attention and then potentially transition into one of his Christian works as justification of the court composer and church choir director playing for the sinners in the pubs. And then go home to make sure his wife was pregnant 24/7 until she died and got replaced - that was a Christian mission after all. We should not forget that many music pieces in JSB's time actually referenced court dances and that a majority of court dances again had their origin in "vulgar" folk dances that likely had been brought to courts by young "noble" men hanging out in vulgar places with access to paid carnal knowledge and then bringing home these dances potentially initially as parodies. A man like JSB in his time very likely understood such history that got covered up in history by not documenting, by not passing on. But enough proof exists, still, in archives. You see, the barbie girl thing, even in my 1960's hippie mind, in the 90s, was such an annoying example of the "unbearable lightness" that can be, that we need to dig deep to provide context to this beautiful escape (fuga) from that unbearable lightness.

My grandmother tried to teach me piano. She was strict on 8 year old me. Not a kid friendly person. The piano became an object of hate. A decade later my largest regret is not continuing to learn nor taking music in highschool so I could say least learn some theory.

Thank you for sharing this story. I hope some readers will learn from it, so that they allow children to be playful! Let the piano be an expensive toy, more than it is an expensive piece of furniture. It is more robust than most other instruments, so there is barely no excuse! Here in Norway, an organization within the main church has even begun arranging organ clubs, where children down to about 5-6 years old get to play several church organs a few times every year. Even the largest, most complex and expensive ones. Fun and educative for the children/youth, and great long-term prospects for recruiting to organist positions. I am glad that, despite the harsh start, you now find magic in music. I guess it is too late to become the new superstar, but some skills and knowledge can surely be acquired by adults too. For maximal joy and healing of "wounds", maybe you will benefit from a playful approach now?

All those years ago when people were mocking me for loving the song, I knew, deep down in my heart, that somewhere, someday, the song would inspire great music.. (ok, I embellished a little bit on the story, well, a lot)

This may make me sound like an uncultured idiot, but I honestly believe the reason why most pop songs that get popular, one hit wonders in particular, is because they have genuinely good musical ideas. Barbie Girl is a quality tune, and it doesn't surprise me that it can be translated into a really nice fugue.

It's the exact opposite imo. Pop Music evolved from classical music somehow but as a much simpler form. That's why it recuares much more skill to make it classical from pop than pop from classical. You can search it up to see how many todays "hits" is based on Bach or Mozart (structure) it's kinda mindblowing.

both correct, it’s for this reason that the average pop song won’t stick around as long as the classical music that we know today. but also consider that many thousands of poorly written pieces of music from bach’s era have been lost to time completely. it’s easy to say that classical music’s complex form is the reason it persists today when you’re consuming a triple distilled selection of the stuff

Extremely nice composition and performance. A wonderful mix of baroque fugue with pop hit! Interesting choice to use use retrograde motion over inversion. I don't think I've ever really heard a retrograde subject in a fugue until now, probably because it's much harder to detect without being informed. It's brilliant that you were able to make such good use of it, however.

In this version you can hear very pure how well composed the “Barbie theme” is, this is why the original song was so successful and is still a catchy tune.
