Bach Crab Canon on the Harpsichord

Me playing the Crab Canon from the Musical Offering by J.S. Bach.

This is a two-part canon, where the second part is the same as the first part, but played from back to front. Therefore this is a 'musical palindrome'; it is exactly the same whether you play it from front to back or back to front.

Hope you like it =)

tuning the harpsichord might be nice....good playing, though.

Thanks! Actually the harpsichord was tuned just fine, but because of the crappy sound-recording it still came out like this :(

This piece can be played either forwards or Bachwards

@blendingbone perhaps it's not tuned to the equal temperament that we're used to today?

@jelekbanget123 Ouch!  We ought to fire you from that canon... :)
