Open score for Art of Fugue by Bach

Post by bohenry »

Does anyone know of a free open scoring of the 'art of fugue' for piano, meaning a score where each individual "voice" is represented individually? The thing is, I found one here on imslp http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/e ... 0_6-10.pdf

The problem with this one, however, is that they use a bunch of different clefts. Only one voice is written in standard cleft. The other 3 voices are each written in a different non-standard cleft.

I want an open score because I believe it will help me better understand the individual voices which comprise this music. Basically, I want an open scoring for piano that uses the standard clefts, at least for 3 out of the 4 voices.

I can handle one non-standard cleft, but three is a bit much for me.

Thanks.

In Mutopia http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/ma ... ser=BachJS you can find the lilypond sources of Die Kunst der Fugue. You can easily change the clef and recompile the source
Another option with Cappella sources here:

Hey, does anyone know how to do what ctesibius said, how to change the cleft and recompile the source? If I had step by step instructions, I could probably do it. I'm not a computer wiz, but I can usually follow technical instructions.

If you hate tenor clef there are Selected Fugues arranged for recorders:
http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/J.S.Bach.php
but you must accept the Tenor part beeing transposed by 1 octave!
I hope I understood your needs :)

Is anybody aware of a piano score edition which contains fingering?
