Your playing is fantastic, and the way you play demonstrates how much you care about the music. I think you should make your articulation smoother because some of it sounds almost staccato and it doesn't really fit. I felt you could have maybe a bit more charisma, but the choice you made not to be too 'dramatic' was one I greatly respect. Anyway thanks for sharing your wonderful playing!
Which fugue? The double fugue near the beginning or the one at the end?
In either case, what a dubious assertion to make: are you suggesting that Bach didn't write this toccata? Well we are about a sure as we can be that this toccata was written by Bach. Bach's style was certainly distinct, but it was also extremely varied. Not all of his fugue subjects are equally "elaborate", and while some are very chromatic, others are completely diatonic.
Good job, but I hate the staccato >_< that stereotype that Bach's music must be played in staccato is long over done.

this fugue doesn't seem to stylistic of bach, his themes were more elaborate and more chromatic harmony...

does a fugue emerge at 'Un poco allegro'? I could guess but a 4 voci ( in 4 voices)
