J. S. Bach - Little Prelude in C Minor BWV 934

[breakerboy365]

bleh, am i the only one who found this without finding it in a game first?

stop flooding the comments with stupid quotes and how about a real analysis of the song?

[AVCHonline]

i'm just going to hear the music (i'm working on bach's Fugue study)but i found out all the people comments are talking about "wheatley is now playing classic music"

XD haha!so!i guess we can all see the power of Portal and Portal2!

"clap clap"

oh good!my slow claping process is still workingXD

[awesomecooldude9]

Wheatley. Best NOT moron ever.

[EEVEESPRIT]

this music made me NOT A MORON!

[masteryodadobby]

This music stopped me being a moron.

[erkpwnzall]

Wheatley Listening To Classic Radio Channel : AWWWW YEAAAAAA THIS IS MY JAM

[Anarchemitis]

"Machiavellian Bach (Little Prelude in Caroline minor, BWV 934)"

[BryanzOwner]

@Anarchemitis ACTUALLY, YOU'RE NOT FUNNY.

SONOFABITCH.

[CandyTacod]

MACHIAVELLIAN!

[TacosIncorperated]

FEEL LIKE A SIR

[BryanzOwner]

@TacosIncorperated Feel what? I'AM A SIR.

[Thatguybehindthebush]

Portals version is muuuch better

No offense Bach :)

[Bcrich513]

@Thatguybehindthebush

its the same version idiot, if not better.

[Thatguybehindthebush]

@Bcrich513 Fuck off.. I said it's better, it sounds better than the original! A version of a song doesn't make it different fucking retard -_-

[guyboy625]

@Thatguybehindthebush Uhh yeah, it's the same piece, just played in a portal-y way. You can play the piece however you want, it's not offensive towards bach. This here is not "the original", it's just another way of playing it.

[Hackerhal]

Wheatley.

[pjps2]

I am a portuguese organist, pianist and harpsichordist. I have learned to play baroque music by earing KOOPMAN and GOULD. 2 geniouses in BACH. Wen Bach listens to them playing, he smiles.

[MultiNatla]

This is Wheatley in human form.

[LordWeegee450]

@MultiNatla so... not a moron

[titanathl33t]

what instrument is this? also is there more songs like this i love this song it is my favorite classical music piece

[Anarchemitis]

@titanathl33t Harpsichord, the precursor to the piano.

The instrument is very similar except the strings are plucked instead of struck.

[qualquernomeaqui]

@titanathl33t it's a harpsichord

[sephiroth2711]

excellent

[DianasAngels]

I'm GLaD for this song!!:)

[panier66]

Sorry Glenn Gould, but I like this version way more.

[hunterhalo2]

@panier66 I agree. Hate to agree its better than dear Glenn Gould but goddamn this is satisfying to the ear!!

[forscyvus]

Goodness it sounds like it was recorded in a stairwell.

[FrancytopoTM]

@forscyvus Yeah, what a Machiavellian Bach..;)

[FrancytopoTM]

@forscyvus Yeah, what a Machiavellian Bach ;)

[unknownPLfan]

Looking at people's enthusiasm, I wouldn't be surprised if Portal 2 is the reason for a huge baroque revival, even if it's just this one prelude being played in the beginning.

[tidmouthmilk12]

D: WOW PORTAL 2 FANS ARE FLOODING THE COMMENTS SECTION ... Portal 2 is epic by the way! :D

[FrancytopoTM]

Fatty. The adopted fatty. Fatty fatty no-parents!!

[bononcrusher2]

@FrancytopoTM And?

[FrancytopoTM]

@bononcrusher2 What?

[bononcrusher2]

@FrancytopoTM What exactly is wrong with being adopted?

[FrancytopoTM]

@bononcrusher2 What-what's wrong in being adopted? Um..well...lack of parents..and..also..furthermor­e..nothing. Some of my best..friends are..orphans..but...

[jopomeister]

That's the sound of pages turning...

[1986rich]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC­E :D

[JesusDiedlol667]

Portal 2!!! I could never get past this level :[

[MattSmyth3000]

Half the comments are about Portal 2.

[astosky]

peeano is srs pizznizz. that's what the face is telling me right now.

[Nuramon147]

So the gentleman seen here has to be Macchiavelli.

I recently read his book, you know because I am certainly not a moron.

[CryingObsidian]

Pages, being turned.

[OrionisBeta]

Yep. Just finished the last one. The hardest one, actually. Machiavelli. Do NOT see what all the fuss was about.

[soraavenger]

Oh sorry if that disturbed you. That was just the sound of pages being turned. ^w^

[shiloweston]

LOL!funny

[jdelphy]

oh no he's playing classical music by bach

[TheGTRacer97]

It's weird that over half of the comments here are Portal 2 related...thanks to Wheatley

[CombineOverWiki]

Oh, sorry. Hope that didn't disturb you just then. It was the sound of books. Pages being turned.

[thickterranarmor]

Never understood the hooplah over Machiavelli. Was easy, really easy. Always thought that Locke was harder.

Oh! That is my tea boiling, because smart people drink tea, and I am a smart person, so I am boiling tea... I'll rate this when I come back.

[frgblae]

I must say, this music really goes with this Machiavelli book I'm reading. Classic book, too. It's for the most wonderful intellects. Like myself. Good music, good book. Yes.

[bubbleshield50]

@frgblae then you must recognize hubris as the essential trait for a tragic hero?

[eXAKR]

GLaDOS disliked this.

[OrionisBeta]

@eXAKR How are you holding up? Because I'M A POTATO.

[Ball4184]

@OrionisBeta but im a GLaTADO ;)

[KriBlackRoson]

I'd just love to hear this version in really C Minor

[KriBlackRoson]

damn, I love it, why can't I do that too *.*

bravo

[TheWhiteDeath01123]

Did anyone else notice that when you went on the Faith Plate, the beeps that played as you flew through the air corresponded to the music? It was a rather nice touch.

[Cobbledstories]

I listen to classical music while reading complicated books. Ergo, I am not a moron. ^_^

[timmyvos112]

Now he's playing classical music.

[theblazingraven]

TVTropes from the Portal 2 page anyone?

[FourthDerivative]

@theblazingraven

Guilty as charged. As big a fan as I am of both Portal and J. S. Bach, I wasn't able to put the two together in this case.

[Withernall]

@theblazingraven You bet!

[TifaJia]

During the Baroque period, the music contained many ornaments but the performer was also free to improvise their own ornaments at appropriate places in the music.

[bononcrusher2]

@TifaJia That's a cool fact fact sphere!

[schendelone]

Awesome! and so inspiring!! thank you

[aghaanantyab]

I liked all the songs that was made by bach

[BanditBankLasVegas]

great!

[innerdeth]

The ornaments are his?

or what?

[luisiege2]

@innerdeth I have an score with apoggiaturas and a lot of mordents and it should sound this way.
