Fugue explained

Apparently, none of you has seen Disney's Fanatasia... ;)

 

 

Au contraire. My father took us to see it when I was 8. That movie inspired me to become a concert violinist. Every time I hear Toccata and Fugue I have the Disney visual running through my head.

My mom took us to see Fantasia in the early 70s. It was in a theater that showed both movies and live plays, and it had an orchestra pit.

 

It was a remastered version that divided the soundtrack into individual instruments, and the orchestra pit had speakers where each instrument would normally sit. It was like watching the movie and having a live orchestra play all the parts.

 

It inspired me to try the violin, but I quickly learned I needed to stick with just enjoying good music instead of trying to create it.

The Bach segment of Fantasia was good... heck, it was ALL good.

 

But my favorite was Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain." Hard to sleep after that part!
