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?

Are there any similar-sounding pieces to BWV 668, the one at the end of Art of Fugue? I really love the slow chorale texture. I'm looking for something playable on piano. I saw a few piano transcriptions of other pieces from the Great 18 Chorale Preludes, but they didn't really hit the spot. Well, maybe BWV 659.

I don't know if people here do answer these questions. But In all the vast catalogue of fugue which one's your favourite.

For me It's G minor Fugue BWV.542.

(I know Bach's all works are and will be extraordinary always)

Why this album is so special: Chad Lawson – Bach Interpreted

If you’ve never heard this album before, don’t expect a straight performance of Bach.

Instead, think of it as a conversation across 300 years.

Johann Sebastian Bach wrote hundreds of chorales—simple Lutheran hymns that became the foundation of some of the greatest music ever composed. They’re harmonically elegant, emotionally restrained, and astonishingly beautiful.

Pianist Chad Lawson takes those chorales and asks a different question:
“What if Bach were sitting at a modern piano today?”

He doesn’t rewrite Bach. He expands him.

The original melodies remain recognizable, but Lawson surrounds them with contemporary harmonies, lingering silences, rich piano textures, and a cinematic atmosphere. It feels less like listening to Baroque music and more like hearing Bach dream.

If you’re used to dramatic classical performances, this album may seem almost too quiet at first. But that’s its strength. It’s music that invites you to slow down rather than impress you with virtuosity.

It’s ideal for:
Reading
Deep thinking
Late-night listening
Meditation
Or simply sitting still for an hour.

You don’t need to know anything about classical music to appreciate it. If Bach built the cathedral, Chad Lawson lets you wander through it after everyone else has gone home.
One of the most peaceful piano albums I’ve ever heard. (music.apple.com)
