4 small pieces by Bach performed on a spinet

Four quite simple and lovely pieces performed on my spinet. A tad rushed performances on each one, I guess. I blame my camera fever. Also very minuscule mistakes. See if you can spot them!

Thanks for my little brother for effects and the cool camera angle changes. :P

The second piece was not composed by J.S. Bach but by Christian Petzold.

@ilcineocchio This is under dispute as far as I've seen. I have seen either composer credited with the piece.

Isn't it fun to play Bach? I like playing it more than listening. Try out his 2 part inventions, they are so fun.

[Hyardacil]

@mikeisapro I play quite a few of the inventions too, yes.

so sorry, youtube directed me to the wrong page to post my comment. anyways, shows how excited I was to post!! :)

this is extremely brilliant. you really capture the "god I hate you so much" essence of this song, like "god I can't express how much I hate you right now, it just won't let up". You really nailed it. I learned something new about tori's song from listening to your version. Thanks for posting. Do you have any others of hers that you do?

That first prelude sounds so much better on instruments of the clavichord and harpsichord family than on the modern piano or on the organ.

Very nice! I love Bach, not only for the "notes", obviously, but for the rhythms of his pieces as well. "Play" any one of these on a table top with your fingers drumming on wood (no music) and the mathematical precision that you hear is STILL enjoyable.

@Hyardacil Hi, this is from wiki: " The famous menuet, Minuet in G major, previously attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, has been established in the 1970s as a piece by Petzold.[1][2][3] (References: Wolff, Christoph; Williams, Peter)". In the "Henle Verlag" edition of the Notenbuchlein you can find all the true composers (Petzold, Bohm, Couperin...) . However, the style of some pieces, like this menuet, in my opinion is far from the Bach style...
