@rlimabach NO!

It is:

1 - BACH

2 - the others

[PTCello]

@rlimabach

Bach, then Bach and then Bach, and then Bach.

AND THEN

Beethoven

Mozart

Handel

Wagner

Vivaldi is no where near.

I would like to recommend a collection of essays by G B Shaw, called "THE GREAT COMPOSERS: REVIEWS AND BOMBARDMENTS. I disagree with him often and intensely, but the man is a genius, and You'd enjoy his writing completely. Bach is his God as well.

Bach usually transcribed concertos down a tone when making his harpsichord transcriptions. FASCINATING BIT COMING UP!!!!!! This concerto, when played at the SAME pitch (d minor) works on the (probably original but lost version for) violin. the incredible double and tripple stopping and bariolage effects that are so perfectly written for violin, there can BE no argument. An AMAZING violin concerto. To hear it, youtube search for "Discover Bach BWV 1052 R Reconstructed Violin Concerto in D Minor"

@PTCello Bach flaws 'em (look up the history of what happened when later composers discovered him, (Mozart, and Mendelssohn spring to mind, not to mention the Webern transcription, search ytube for "Bach/Webern: Ricercare a 6 Voci "), but sometimes, we just need a dose of pure SIMPLE beauty. Vivaldi has been hard done by throughout history, most of which he was deliberately masked from. Bach never managed this though -> ytube search "Philippe Jaroussky - Vedro con mio diletto - Vivaldi"

I can play half of these keyboard pieces on electric guitar, but man what i wouldnt give to be able 2 sit up in a friggin Baroque castle & play the Harpsichord alllll day long...

All composers are epic in their own ways, that is why you can't compare them. Its enough they've been remembered for 500-200 years (that's older than some countries!)

[TheSecretHarp]

I love Harpsichord so much. I'm very blessed to have one. And no better way than to spend an evening with Bach.

@greyndog5 counterpont, the principle where the melodic lines are first, the harmony - second.

[greyndog5]
