Thank you for sharing this really beautiful music. I didn't recognize BWV 1006. I think 1004 is the only one of that set I'd know anywhere. Can't wait to read Art of Fugue!

Your comment about the economic side of music reminds me of the book Mozart in the Jungle. As a New Yorker and music fan, I bet you’d dig it (if you haven’t already read it).

And… Thanks for sharing these recordings! Beautiful.

It's a tough business for sure!

Glad you're enjoying these.

The clip from BWV 2 is seriously beautiful, will follow up on that one.

Hearing the BWV 29 transcription of the violin partita 3 is lovely as well, another reminder that Bach's music can live so independently from the musical instruments on which it's played.

Yes - being an amateur guitarist myself, I like the lute transcription of that piece the best! A very tricky piece to play since the downbeat sort of floats around in the middle of the melody.

Also, very much looking forward to Art of the Fugue!
