[lentaru]

Does anyone know how to get the score for this great transcription ???

AMAZING! wonderful to listen such a wonderful music enriched by such transcripiton! 

[dnabiologic]

fantastic work !, so beautiful,,,,but please make a new recording using a softer piano. This is to hard, or to much attack.

[Astathis]

@dnabiologic

I wish he could make new recordings :(

[dnabiologic]

I guess this is made by a digital piano / VST instrument, pre recorded by MIDI in a computer.

[tastenkasten]

No it is not. Look at YouTube for "Sergio Fiorentino", there is a video from the recording session when he played his transcription of the Bach violin sonata.

[tachuman]

Absolutely magnificent! Thank you for posting!

[yuripole0000]

wow!!

amazing!!

not a single word is needed anymore

[vimflow]

Amazing fugue starts at 4:00

[TheCaptainKanada]

this piece doesn't really work with the piano because it just can't get the kind of sustainance and power on those soft chords that the violin can. Nice try, though

Does anyone know how to get the score for this great transcription ?

[AMPepin1992]

Does anyone else here hear strong influence from or on the Organ Fantasia in G minor, BWV 542?

SHOUT OUT TO OSK!!!!

[Fredegunda7]

Я бы мог слушать эту завораживающую музыку вечно. Как- будто кто-то душу мою нежно гладит... Великий Бах- Гений,его музыка-Дар Божий,нам,грешным.

[JupiterIV]

@Fredegunda7

-- I could listen to this captivating music forever; it's аs if someone was gently stroking my soul ... Ah, the great genius of Bach, whose music is the gift of God to us sinners!

You put it quite poetically, but In every way possible and impossible, I agree with you.

-- Вы помещаете это вполне поэтически, но в каждом пути возможное и невозможное, Я согласен с вами.

[lexarsepa]

I prefer this to the Godowsky transcription, although I must say the fugue of Godowsky's is closer to Bach's own transcription to organ. I still find this far more powerful though. Thank you very much.

[magaloff1]

Beautiful!

[ciobanel]

[Fredegunda7]

[Fredegunda7]

beautiful

[KindFurryBoy]

This is good, but is it really nessicary to use the foot pedal so much?

[hotamali]

@KindFurryBoy yes

[maicalviola]

Bravo!

[SimonCU]

Does anyone know where I can get the piano music for this transcription?? Who's the publisher?

[KindFurryBoy]

I wouldn't want to play this edition....it sounds like something bach would vomit on because it's just....ugh! no! it doesn't sound like something bach would write

[Astathis]

bach wouldn't write it, so what?

[tastenkasten]

What a stupid comment! You seem to be an amateur in the world of transcription.

[FabioThePianist]

Non c'è altro da dire...sublime.

[cornel999]

as a violinist, i find this very enjoyable, but i actually prefer to hear the Bach solo violin works on guitar.

[shadowrun45]

well played - but I can't see the reason for this transcription - aren't there enough works for piano from Bach?

[firebreathone2]

The fact that you "can't see the reason for this transcription" doesn't make it an invalid one. In fact, it goes to show that Bach's music transcends instruments and even sounds good on instruments for which it wasn't intended

[Astathis]

I agree

[StradAmatiViolin]

@firebreathone2 I always thought that but I never put it in words thank you for writing that it is true.

[tastenkasten]

Actually, shadowrun45, there aren't ANY works of Bach written for the piano that we know. :-)) And please note that the Fiorentino transcription is not a literal repetition of the violin part on the piano but more an elaborate recreation for piano two hands folllowing closely Bach's original.

[Contrapunctus1984]

@tastenkasten In case of the Musical Offering, I would have some trust that Bach intended some of the pieces to be played on piano.
