“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” - Albert Einstein

As long as you’re going to be writing anyway, write impressive.

In Zen circles, people say: "Before I became a practitioner, I saw mountain as mountains and rivers as rivers. When I began to practice, I no longer saw mountain as mountains and rivers as rivers; I began to see their interbeing nature. After I atttained the Path, I again saw mountain as mountains and rivers as rivers, but now my view is clearer, my understanding is brighter. I'm no longer caught in the view that the mountain is only the mountain and the river is only the river. Now I really see them, I see their true nature."

"However the indisputable Master of the Fugue without any doubt was J.S.Bach. This is because at his best he was able to blend an almost mathematical perfection of the art form with his own profound emotional realizations. 

Bach almost literally wrote the book on Fugues. He produced two books called the well-tempered clavier known by some as the Old Testament of piano music if Beethoven's Sonata is of a New Testament. These two books each have 24 preludes and fugues - one set for each key and we've looked at preludes in another video but these books are like an exploration of the full possibilities of the fugue. He also wrote an unfinished masterwork "The Art of Fugue" - the culmination of his life's work which is practically a textbook of the incredible musical potential of the simplest musical idea. 

You can also find some of his richest and most powerful fugues in his Vocal Works: Try his "Motets" or his "B Minor Mass". 

So what is a fugue?"

A Zen Master said: "Before practicing Zen, rivers were rivers and mountains were mountains. When I practiced Zen, I saw that rivers were no longer rivers and mountains no longer mountains. Now I see that rivers are again rivers and mountains are again mountains."
