You know that portrait of Bach holding a little scrap of music? Ever wonder what the piece was? What it sounded like? That piece of paper is a six-voice, triple canon: number thirteen in the fourteen additional canons found on the back of Bach’s personal copy of the Goldberg Variations. (Analysis of that specific canon around 32 min.)We’ve covered nine of these puzzling pieces in three previous episodes, but now it’s time to call it a wrap on all fourteen. These additional canons were discovered only as late as the 1970s. For a more detailed history, check the three previous episodes dealing with these canons:Here is the image of the canon, “Christ will Crown the Cross-bearers” that appears in the family registry book belonging to J.G. Fulde:And of course, Bach and his “business card:”The bass line in both the images (and in all of the canons) is our beloved “first eight fundamental notes of the preceding aria” on which all the canons are based.Be sure to get my forthcoming three albums on PRESALE before they go live on May 17th!Volume One:Apple Music: https://tinyurl.com/nhfuws4tAmazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/mrxj7pwsVolume Two:Apple Music: https://tinyurl.com/mtykbxnzAmazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/3m7b9v6wVolume Three:Apple Music: https://tinyurl.com/mr44kwmfAmazon Music: https://tinyurl.com/3e4kwnsbHow To Support This Podcast:https://www.paypal.me/wtfBachhttps://venmo.com/wtfBachhttps://cash.app/$wtfBachor become a paid subscriber at wtfBach.substack.com Get full access to WTF Bach at wtfBach.substack.com/subscribe
“Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” is one of Bach’s best known works. For acclaimed violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, it has been part of her life since she was a child and has accompanied her through some of her life’s most important moments. As she puts it, “Bach is always the answer — for the joyous moments in life as much as for the moments where you doubt where you stand and what tomorrow brings.”This episode features recordings of “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” performed by Daniil Trifonov on the 2022 Deutsche Grammophon album, “Bach: The Art of Life;” and by The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge on the 1998 Decca album “The King’s Collection.”

A Double is an elaboration on the preceding movement, where the melody is quickened— often twice as quickly. The harmonic structure of the Double and its preceding movement is the same, allowing for one to play both movements at the same time with very interesting results. Pieces studied:Sarabande and Double from Sixth English Suite, BWV 811Gigue and Double from the c minor lute suite, BWV 997Partita in b minor for solo violin, BWV 1002People/places mentioned:Burp Castle at 41 East 7th Street in the East Village of Manhattan (between 2nd Ave & Cooper Square).Paul Spring (guitarist)How To Support This Podcast:https://www.paypal.me/wtfBachhttps://venmo.com/wtfBachhttps://cash.app/$wtfBachor become a paid subscriber at wtfBach.substack.com Get full access to WTF Bach at wtfBach.substack.com/subscribe
