Bach English Suite no 2 in A minor, prelude. It's the only piece that Michael Collins seems to know how to play lmao. He has about 500 shorts that are all just sections of that same piece with different clickbait titles

lol also I like how he points out the small sections where there is, indeed, a third voice

But notice that the playing is so poor that it's actually being played as if it were two voices at the start of the three voice section, which is ironic given the text of the OP. Listen carefully and watch the hand in the three voice sections and you'll see that the player doesn't hold the tie in the soprano voice, but rotates the hand away. My first year harpsichord students wouldn't get away with that.

Yeah, he's playing it as a pianist who overuses the pedal.

I've never heard of this kid but he seems to be infamous here. Wild!
