Prelude & Fugue "St. Anne" for Brass Quintet by J.S. Bach, tr. by David Baldwin, pub. TrigramThe fugue in E flat major BWV 552 2 that ends Clavier bung III has become known in English speaking countries as the "St. Anne" because of the first theme's resemblance to the St. Anne hymn 'O God, Our Help in Ages Past', a hymn that would have been unknown to Bach.

 The fugue in E flat major BWV 552/2 that ends Clavier-Übung III has become known in English-speaking countries as the "St. Anne" because of the first theme's resemblance to the St. Anne hymn 'O God, Our Help in Ages Past', a hymn that would have been unknown to Bach.  A fugue in three sections of 36 bars, 45 bars and 36 bars, with each section a separate fugue on a different theme, it has been called a triple fugue, although only the first theme is combined with the second and third themes; for that reason the second and third sections are sometimes referred to as double fugues.  The number three is pervasive and has been understood to represent the Trinity.  The description of Albert Schweitzer (see below) follows the 19th-century tradition of associating the three sections with the three different parts of the Trinity.   The number three, however, occurs many other times: in the number of flats of the key signature; in the number of sections; and in the number of bars in each section, each a multiple of 3 x 3.  Each of the three themes of the fugues seems to grow from the previous ones.  Indeed, Hermann Keller has suggested that the second theme is "contained" in the first.  Although perhaps hidden in the score, this is more apparent to the listener, both in their shape and in the resemblance of the quaver second theme to crotchet figures in the countersubject to the first theme.  The form of the fugue conforms to that of a 17th-century tripartite ricercar or canzona, such as those of Froberger and Frescobaldi: firstly in the way that themes become progressively faster in successive sections; and secondly in the way one theme transforms into the next.  Bach can also be seen as continuing a Leipzig tradition for contrapuntal compositions in sections going back to the keyboard ricercars and fantasias of Nicolaus Adam Strungk and Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow. The tempo transitions between different sections are natural: the minims of the first and second sections correspond to the dotted crotchets of the third.
"The triple fugue ... is a symbol of the Trinity. The same theme recurs in three connected fugues, but each time with another personality. The first fugue is calm and majestic, with an absolutely uniform movement throughout; in the second the theme seems to be disguised, and is only occasionally recognisable in its true shape, as if to suggest the divine assumption of an earthly form; in the third, it is transformed into rushing semiquavers as if the Pentacostal wind were coming roaring from heaven."
     --  Albert Schweitzer, Jean-Sebastien Bach, le musicien-poete, 1905

Great product! 🧴
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I must admit that this is my go to alternative cleanser to La Roche Posay and Bioderma but that is by no means to suggest that it is ineffective. Quite the opposite! This is one of the most gentle, fragrance free cleansers out there, and it truly delivers on its promises: removing makeup and hydrating the skin. It is suitable for sensitive skin and those with rosacea! An excellent product offering great value for money!

A little drying, but effective at reducing white heads and build up -- will keep using!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have very delicate skin that is prone to acne and eczema. I also have a lot of allergies that prevent me from using most skin products so I was pretty nervous about trying a new one, but I gave it a chance. The first couple of days I noticed some itchiness in my skin, but it was effectively clearing dead skin and reducing whiteheads so I kept using it and the itching went away. My skin does feel a bit dry after using it, and it probably would be better alongside the vanicream moisturizer; however, I try to only start new products one at a time so that I can easily pin point things that may be bothering me. As far as pricing, I think it's pretty affordable considering it comes in a fairly large bottle and you only have to use a pea-sized amount each wash. It also doesn't leave any weird films or grease, and doesn't seem to have any weird smells. Altogether, really like the product over the week or two that I have been using it, and my skin looks a lot cleaner and more evenly textured.

Best cleanser I’ve ever had!
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is absolutely the best cleanser I’ve ever had. My skin is dry and sensitive, and very reactive, so I’ve always had a hard time finding good products. But this cleanser is honestly the best. It’s never broken me out, doesn’t dry out my skin, and leaves it feeling so soft. It isn’t greasy at all, and it’s completely unscented, which I love. Super effective and lightweight, washes off easily, and good enough to use day and night if you want. I use this daily, and it’s honestly great. Will be repurchasing once I’m done mine!

Works Great, Fragrance-Free & Lathers Well
Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently became highly allergic to all artificial fragrances and beeswax so this Sensitive Skin Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser was recommended by my dermatologist. I tried a few other brands, and this one is my favorite by far. It lathers well, is not greasy, and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. I like to use the 8 oz bottle size with the pump at my sink and in my shower, but this 2.5 oz size was perfect for 2 weeks in Europe, and I still have a lot left with using it twice a day. Also, it doesn't burn my eyes, so I would say it is safe for taking off eye make up. Highly recommend!

A total lifesaver for seb derm!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I honestly don’t know what my husband would do without this cleanser. He struggles with seborrheic dermatitis, and finding something that doesn’t trigger a flare-up is usually a nightmare, but this stuff is absolute gold. It’s so gentle on his skin, no fragrance or weird oily texture and the fact that it’s less than $10 is honestly a steal for the amount you get in a bottle. We’ve repurchased multiple bottles at this point because it’s a total staple in his routine now. He has tried EVERYTHING even prescribed stuff from the dermatologist but nothing worked until we found this. It’s also super easy to dispense and use with the pump, so there’s no mess or hassle. If you're looking for something that actually works for sensitive skin without breaking the bank, just get it!
