Many people - if they're honest - find the complexity of Bach's music hard to comprehend. As an antidote, this talk will delve into Bach's counterpoint and will tell you all you need to know about fugue, inversion, augmentation, diminution, imitation, why it is exciting, and how it energises Bach's music. There’ll also be a brief exposé on triple-invertible counterpoint!

This light-hearted talk will be iIllustrated with live musical examples from the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Double violin concerto, played by members of the Corelli Orchestra.
