@BLR1GBattlemaster Yes, because that's the only way that this Chapman Stick performance of a Bach piece is anachronistic. Music historians remain in controversy about whether baroque music could be played with changing time or rubati-- although you're correct in that it has long been traditional that baroque music should be kept in strict time. That being said I think that this is an interpretation done to showcase the sticks capabilities, it's not your grade piano exam.

I want a chapman stick so fucking bad!!!!

that was wonderful I am not sure if a I heard some notes bent, but it is very impressive.

@bylokonnor Look up Rob Martino. He's great.

Ah yes, I'm sure with names like "fartwrangler" and "BLR1G Battlemaster," we are dealing with some of the foremost experts in classical music and the chapman stick. Or they're just pretentious douches. This is amazing.

This is god awful. It needs a lot of work. First, you take too much liberties with your rhythm. This isn't a romantic piece. It's baroque. You must honor the meter! Second, what the hell are glissandos doing in Bach??? Third, the piece is overall sloppy. You need to work on your shit.

Good start, but it needs some work.

@LTmattYT Me and most likely all people who have listened to this can agree that this does not sound like garbage, but you obviously do. This stick is made for a reason: tapping, to make tapping not sound like garbage.
