[deborahdeshoftim5779]

Bach’s fiendishly difficult Prelude and Fugue in C Minor, from the WTC BWV 847. Played by Suzuki for the Netherlands Bach Society. 

[deborahdeshoftim5779]

(Relatively late) morning Bach. I first came across this Duetto on a CD, now sadly lost. I was intrigued by the minor melodic scales, and some years later, downloaded the entire score. I won’t commend my performance of this work, which suffered as a result of my reluctance to practice scales (or, you know, practice). But here is a great performance of the work. As one comment said, Bach was “light years” ahead of anyone with this piece.
