A: The Wikipedia article is pretty good http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grosse_fuge and this New Yorker article about a recently discovered manuscript is interesting http://tinyurl.com/newyorkergrossefuge Q: Who is performing? A: I don't know. I licensed this recording from Royalty-Free Classical Music (dot com) through Shockwave (dot com), and they don't say who their performers are. Q: I'm having trouble following the rhythm. A: I'm not surprised; it's highly syncopated. I've done a couple of versions with barlines in them. First, here's a bar-graph-only version with barlines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7q8t6K5ygw Next, here's a version with both balls and barlines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHxukzT31do If you don't like the balls, here's a bar-graph-only without barlines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnjvJDi8BPg And, here's the original (bar-graph with balls, but no barlines): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s0Mp7LFI-k Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself?
