Bach-Prelude in C from Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1

[byf43]

One of the best versions on youtube. Harp and Bach goes very well together.

So simple, yet so beautiful

[annabananadw]

when someone plays this on a harp it kind of feels heavenly, doesn't it?

[annabananadw]

why would anyone dislike this?? it was perfect. =)

[newall21]

To this ONE person who disliked this, you are a complete PRAT!

[Nohshing]

@newall21 Well the interpretation isn't actually that WOW...

[superplexiful]

I think it is played on a clavichord which is similar to a harpsichord but hits the strings instead of plucking them. (just a guess)

[bassmajor]

This piece gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. Mainly because of it's significance. it is the opening piece to the most important compendium of western music, the well-tempered-clavier and it sounds as if it was the introductory piece to all western music.

I listen to this as I watch the sun set, It's light shimmering off fluffy cloudes, fresh air fills my lungs. Oh sometimes I do love life.

[ProudToBeAsian309]

I luv this piece =) it allows you to express yourself

[petergun32]

[ILoveThePiano1]

This is on a digital? Sounds pretty and smooth. I want one because I think it'll be easier on the fingers. lol

[UnifiedPerfection]

This is beauty in its purest form.

[JMEASYGOING]

[yoleta]

@JMEASYGOING No suena a piano, parece un arpa, no?

[JMEASYGOING]

@yoleta

Oui, c'est magnifique à la harpe egalement

J'espere que tu parles français ? Do you prefer english ?

[MissyHolland]

Thank you Camposi, and also the eleven people who like my comment.

[parksy010101]

Brilliant.

[Kingfotog]

Amazing to think this was written almost 300 years ago.

[camposi]

Incredible piece .... and the theme is hidden in a few rock/pop songs I know. ....

[pamee08]

Thank you for this exquisite masterpiece.

[ErieBoy62]

Well done. This is only the second version of Prelude number 1 I have found on YouTube in which the artist did not put some stupid flourish on in the last five seconds of the piece.

[epitrachilion]

@ErieBoy62

I was just thinking the same. :)

[QCxns]

@ErieBoy62 listen to the glen gould version, it is also real like this.

[MissyHolland]

It sounds like a harp to me, too. (And I have the pic hanging up over my harpsichord.)

[Boratlon]

Yeah. Harpsichords sound different, plus it sticks to Bachs crescendos and diminuendos.

[chopinandliszt]

I don't think this is a harpsichord, it sounds awfully like a harp.

[camposi]

@MissyHolland

...sounds to me too like a "well tempered harp". ..... I think the pieces of Bach can be played on every instrument (organ, flute, synthesizer, piano, electric guitar .... they sound great!

[debartzen]

¡Ciertamente hermosa ésta obra1

[MissyHolland]

I agree with William Buckley: "If Bach isn't in heaven, then I don't want to go there."

[camposi]

@MissyHolland

I´m sure he´s in heaven and when I go there one time - I want to take my guitar with me and have a session with him!

[musicoftheuniverse]

sounds like it's being played on a harp!

[snoopy1804]

i think so too, musicoftheuniverse!
