Johann Sebastian Bach : Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue d minor BWV 903 and 903a

Piano solo / Harpsichord – Baroque Period

About Editor:

This Urtext Edition without fingering is edited by Klaus Rönnau and Georg von Dadelsen. It provides a pure scholarly text for advanced musicians who wish to apply their own technical and stylistic fingerings.

Description:

The Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue is widely considered one of Bach's most daring and fascinating keyboard works. Even during his lifetime, it was highly admired, as evidenced by the numerous surviving copies. Because Bach appears to have revised the work several times and no autograph manuscript exists, these sources often present significantly different versions—particularly in the Fantasy. This Henle Urtext edition includes one of these divergent versions of the Fantasy (BWV 903a) in the Appendix for comparative study and performance.

Features:

• Comprehensive Source Study: Reflects the complex transmission of the work through various historical copies.
• Divergent Versions: Includes the alternative version of the Fantasy (BWV 903a) in the Appendix.
• Academic Rigor: Edited by experts Rönnau and von Dadelsen to ensure the most reliable musical text possible.
• Clean Urtext: Free of modern fingering interventions to allow for total interpretive freedom on both piano and harpsichord.

Performance Tips/Difficulty:

Rated at Difficulty 8 (difficult), this work is a cornerstone of the advanced keyboard repertoire. It is a recommended piece for the ABRSM Piano LRSM and Harpsichord FRSM. The Fantasy requires a mastery of improvisational recitative style and brilliant passage-work, while the Fugue demands rigorous control of chromatic counterpoint and architectural pacing.

About Composer/Editor:

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) pushed the boundaries of keyboard harmony in this D-minor masterpiece. Editors Georg von Dadelsen and Klaus Rönnau are titans of Bach scholarship, with von Dadelsen being a key figure in the establishment of the New Bach Edition (NBA).

約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴哈 : 半音階幻想曲與賦格，D小調 BWV 903, 903a

鋼琴獨奏 / 大鍵琴 – 巴洛克時期

編輯介紹:

本 Urtext Edition without fingering (原典版，不含指法) 由 Klaus Rönnau 與 Georg von Dadelsen 共同編訂。此版本為高階音樂家提供了純淨的學術文本，便於演奏者自行設計符合風格的技術指法。

簡介:

巴哈的《半音階幻想曲與賦格》是他最引人入勝的作品之一。顯然這部作品在巴哈生前就已備受推崇，因為它流傳下來的多份複寫稿展示了偶爾截然不同的版本，尤其是在幻想曲部分。巴哈似乎曾多次修訂此曲；由於目前沒有現存的親筆原稿，這份 Henle 原典版 特別在附錄中收錄了幻想曲的一個不同版本（BWV 903a），供研究與演奏對照。

產品特點:

• 全面的文獻研究：反映了該作品透過多個歷史複寫本流傳的複雜過程。
• 收錄變體版本：附錄中包含幻想曲的早期變體版本（BWV 903a）。
• 嚴謹學術校訂：由專家 Rönnau 與 von Dadelsen 編訂，確保音樂文本的高度可靠性。
• 純淨原典文本：無現代指法干預，為鋼琴或大鍵琴演奏提供完全的詮釋空間。

演奏提示:

本曲難度評定為 8 級（困難），是高階鍵盤曲目的基石。它被列為 ABRSM 鋼琴 LRSM 與 大鍵琴 FRSM 的推薦曲目。幻想曲部分要求演奏者掌握即興式的宣敘調風格與輝煌的過門樂句；賦格則要求對半音階對位法與建築式結構有極強的掌控力。

作曲家與編者介紹:

約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴哈 (1685–1750) 在這部 D 小調傑作中推向了鍵盤和聲的極限。編者 Georg von Dadelsen 與 Klaus Rönnau 均為巴哈研究界的泰斗，前者更是奠定「新巴哈全集」(NBA) 的核心人物。

收錄曲目:

• D 小調半音階幻想曲與賦格 BWV 903
• 附錄：D 小調幻想曲 BWV 903a（早期版本）
