I did not like the delay of the Canto compared to the Basso in some parts of the track.

I believe that Bach is not a romantic composer.

[MsCoralline]

Absolutely lovely. The intonation and tempo made my day.

[mokacode]

Love your style on that piece .almost the way I tend to while playing it...Damn...I promised myself to re-work that score once my "Chabrier" is acceptable!....

[Gusakov]

Beautiful !

I tried a longer post in appreciation of your playing here, but I kept getting error, try again comments. Must be something I don't know and the Droids won't tell me... ah, well a day: you were spared my prattle mayhaps. I like your playing, suffice it to say, very much. John Benson, MD

[Hosenfeld24601]

Very thoughtful and sensitive. Thank you for the wonderful interpretation.

I hope you are still playing somewhere. Thank you very much.

You don't need to say you're playing Bach/Busoni, meaning you can leave out the Busoni part. This is purely Bach simply played on the piano. It didn't take someone other than Bach to re-compose the piece for piano. You can simply play the organ prelude on the piano and it's the same. Any one can transcribe anything. It's all just music, created only by the composer, not a "transcriber." Busoni had nothing to do with this really. Liszt Paraphrases are an entirely different story.

[benski1234]

lol..whatever. Busoni transcribed many Bach pieces for the piano as the original organ scores are not immediately accessible for many pianists. This is Busoni's "take" on a piece by Bach, Just as Horowitz transcribed many pieces by famous composers. There are dynamic markings and interpretative suggestions on the score. i didn't say anything that denied Bach's genius. Many pianists would not play this piece if it was not for Busoni. it is fitting therefore,that he deserves recognition.

@organboi

Obviously you're not the Pianoman. Don't be an organ-nerd and just enjoy this wellplayed music. Even better: study both scores and find the differences.

[edelvang]

@organboi Well, the famous and brilliant arrangements of Bach's music by Ferruccio Busoni are indeed worth creditting to the both. Would you ever consider not creditting Bach for BWV 593 and the other arrangements that Bach made by orchestral pieces for the organ? Of course not. Bach's transcription is faithfull to the music of vivaldi but has an inbuilt understanding of the organ as instrument that trancends a mere "moving a few notes around".

[edelvang]

Nonsence. This piece could never be played directly on the piano in Bach's autograph. Would you also not credit Bach for his organ transcriptions of eg Vivaldi concertos?

[3NUNS]

@organboi : Very good observation !

[pablojuancoru]
