"Praeludium" from Prelude and Fugue / Fuga / Fuge in D minor, J.S. Bach BWV 539 / Jo Brunenberg on classical piano accordion Fisart & Vignoni (fisarmonica) with free bass system.
Live recording, August 17th. 2011.
Location: Gemeentemuseum Weert - Jacob van Horne Museum

Original composition for organ. Listen also to the famous organ interpretation by Ton Koopman
Great composers like Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Jean-Philippe Rameau, George Frederic Handel and Johannes Brahms of course never wrote for the accordion as the instrument did not yet exist at that time but some of their compositions can be very well played on the accordion with "free bass" system.

Johann Sebastian Bach (21 March 1685, O.S.31 March 1685, N.S. -- 28 July 1750, N.S.) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he did not introduce new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France.
Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, Bach's works include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Partitas, The Well-Tempered Clavier, the Mass in B minor, the St Matthew Passion, the St John Passion, the Magnificat, the Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue, the English and French Suites, the Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, the Cello Suites, more than 200 surviving cantatas, and a similar number of organ works, including the famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor and Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, and the Great Eighteen Chorale Preludes and Organ Mass.
Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected throughout Europe during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the main composers of the Baroque style, and as one of the greatest composers of all time
