So great....

@slowalker700 indeed; no jazz has that motivic coherence and perfection of form even though i love jazz.

@dragmio At least we know he was human!

@slowalker700 en même temps c'est pas parce qu'il y a des accords de 7ème que c'est du jazz...

The string version of this piece really brings out something special (and the buildup and the crescendo is legendary)

Bach improvised this in 3 voices. Then Frederick II asked if he can do it in six. Bach replied he needed some time.

@taviona I thought it was written specifically for piano, as Frederick asked Bach to compose music for his set of 15 pianos. I could be wrong though.

@HerlockSholmes123 It was written for a keyboard instrument (probably harpsichord or clavichord), there is no need for a transcription.

Does anyone know where a piano transcription could be found? I looked everywhere and found nothing.

You people obviously do not know Russian Piano Technique or how J.S. Bach is to be performed. The staccatos are the start of phrases and when in a series of rows, there is no pedal to be used aside from what is called "Stab Pedal." Most Bachian Pianists in the US and in Southern Europe will not even use pedal. Only Ukrainians and Russians use Pedal in Bach. It is because we know how. People that speak from ignorance find themselves stupid in the long-run. I am a Concert Pianist; I know Bach.
