Steemit Open Mic Week 136, Fortunato Chelleri's fifth fugue
This is my entry for the Steemit Openmic Contest week 136.
Fortunato Chelleri (1690 -1757) was an Italian Baroque composer. Chelleri’s father was from German origin, but he had migrated to Italy and married an Italian woman. Fortunato Chelleri received training in Parma and Piacenza in singing, playing the cello and keyboard instruments and in composition. In his early career he was moderately successful composer of operas. Later in live he came in the service of Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn, prince-bishop of Würzburg. After the death of von Schönberg Chelleri joined the service of the landgrave Karl of Hesse-Kassel and moved to the town of Kassel. There he remained until his death.
Several of Chelleri’s instrumental compositions survive till today. Among them 6 Fughe per il organo, composed around 1725. They are works that forshadow the galant and even the classical period.
The fifth of these fugues is more like an 'Inventio' then like a fugue. It is a sunny work, as one could expect of an Italian composer. Full of wit and energy this fifth fugue is a joy to play.
All six fugues are available on my site: http://partitura.org/index.php/chelleri-fortunato/
Not my usual type of music but you played it really well. There was a nice tempo to the composition that i haven't heard often in classical before.
I know organ music is not every one's cup of tea. Thanks for listening to it anyway!

Hi partitura,
Visit curiesteem.com or join the Curie Discord community to learn more.
Such a nice piece. Classical music for me is something that even it is way older than us, there is still that magical substance that keeps us listening to it. The music can be uplifting or sometimes it is haunting. The emotions that it inspires even without any lyrics makes it amazing. Your rendition is wonderful and I can listen to it over and over again.
Thank you for this wonderful share. Cheers!
I thank you for your kind words. I love classical music very much, and it is nice to know that some of that emotion touches you.

This is super cool @partitura 👌
I like to try keyboard but I end up my Guitar for now. I just wish you all the best for the open mic contest 👍
I would have wondered if @curie haven't curated this.
