This a test of the HTML editing in Mozilla 3.0. I discovered that one can edit a separate style sheet and try it with the HTML and optionally save it once it has been applied. Mozilla sticks it in the right place in a style section before the body.
This ia another test. And for Emphasis this. This is a Bold statement.
I am just typing HTML into Mozilla 3.0 on Mac OS x 1.4 and seeing the WYSIWYG.
Today I am interested in the J.S. Bach Partita VI in E-minor, the outer movements, the Tocatta and the Gigue; both of which have fugue-like sections. The Tocatta is structured like an overature with a slow intro, the fugue, faster tempo, and a slow coda. The fugue subjrct comes from the arpeggio in the opening. The idea, the harmony, is also an idea in other movements of the piece. The fugue in the Gigue is inverted in the second reprise. There is a very appealing answer in the closing of the main period of the fugue-like exposition, but the form of the movement does not sugguest a full exposition of a fugue. The counterpoint is more of a procedure for the dance-form.
The performance I have been listening to is by Glen Gould and obviously from recrdings made years apart. The two outer movements are much newwer recodings as all of the inner ones are in mono with no repeats in the score. Gould felt compelled to re-do the outer movements, The performance of the Toccata is masterful for its clock-work tempo that makes the fugue very intense. I had heard this piece in other performances but without the impact of this one.
