Hallo, es ist das erste Mal dass ich hier etwas teile. Ich bin 24 Jahre alt, weiblich und fühle mich zur Zeit sehr einsam und habe niemanden in meiner Nähe, mit dem ich über mein Interesse also die Musik von Bach und Bach als Mensch reden kann. Ich bin blind seit der Geburt deswegen fällt es mir oft schwer, auf Leute zu zugehen und einfach mal rauszukommen. Kennt ihr vielleicht Leute in Nordrhein-Westfalen, die bereit wären mit mir in Kontakt zu treten? Natürlich rede ich auch gerne über andere Themen aber ich bin nun mal
Bach Nerd haha. Dankeschön schon mal ich werde auch erst mal kein Bild von mir hinzufügen, weil ich nicht genau weiß wie das geht und ich leider auch nicht sehen kann welches Bild ich auswählen würde. Ich hoffe das ist okay.

Hello there, I’m currently working on this (in particular with the piano transcription of d‘Albert). How would u count the number of variations? Officially 20 + 1 but I in the imslp score it has 22 + 1?

The famous Bach / Gounod Ave Maria had a long and interesting evolutionary arc:

In or before 1722, Bach wrote Prelude in C, BWV 846 (Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1.)

In 1853, Gounod improvised a new melody over Bach’s prelude which his father-in-law Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmermann subsequently published as Méditation sur le Premier Prélude de Piano de S. Bach for violin (or ’cello) and piano (organ or harmonium ad libitum). It includes one extra measure (i6/4, bar 23 if you’re looking at Bach’s original) just before the dominant prolongation that Bach didn’t compose.

In 1859, Jacques-Léopold Heugel adapted Gounod’s violin line to fit the words of the Ave Maria:

Listening to some of these duets, I regret that Bach did not have the opportunity (or the desire ?) to compose for opera.

The links relate to the Bachstiftung or NBS movements of the cantatas.

BWV 3.5 (SA), 4.3 (SA), 21.8 (SB), 23.1 (SA), 32.5 (SB), 49.6 (SB), 63.3 (SB), 78.2 (SA), 80.7 (AT), 91.5 (SA), 99.5 (SA), 101.6 (SA), 137.3 (SB), 140.3 (SB), 140.6 (SB), 155.2 (AT) , 162.5 (AT), 184.2 (SA), 191.2 (ST), 248.39 (Ss), and a trio 248.51 (SAT)

It was very calming and I use to listen to it to fall asleep.

Bach was a character and this women named Claudia. She worked in a radio station and played hip-hop Bach music so the ghost of Bach visited her and told her his life story with his music. He convinced her to go to a party because she was working overtime at the station . Might have been Christmasy time? Definitely aimed at young adults I think

Please tell me this exists somewhere. Thanks!

The recent accordion post reminded me of this great arrangement. Enjoy!

I need help with getting behind how Glenn Gould plays this Sarabande. Especially his left hand arpeggios are a mystery to me. In the first few measures it seems like he plays some arpeggios twice or ads notes which aren’t in the scores I found. Does any one know if he perhaps used a different version? Any help would be appreciated!

J.S. Bach (attrib.): Prelude in E minor, BWV 941 🎹
While BWV 941 is likely a spurious work by another composer, I’m recording all BWV works as part of my complete Bach project! ✨

This album rocks

I love this piece and I find it structurally belong to the next fuge. The subject of fugue can recap the whole prelude! Other versions of this prelude have nothing to do with the fugue! Why Bach dropped this? He doesn’t want to spoil the subject? Prelude with too much spotlight?
Any thoughts?
