Busoni's transcription did make it grander, which is perhaps why you questioned it being Bach. It is a violin piece, and the original violin version is more Bach-like:


It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

The violin solo of Bach Chaconne in d minor is divine!  I am a violinist and I recall hearing this piece.  So much better on the violin though.  thanks, Kelly_Kelly for sharing and enlightening me today!   = )

Busoni 's rendition of Bach's chaconne in d minor was very fansatic, so each instrument, violin and piano made this piece intersting to listen to.  it's a great piece with much execution of skill and technique on both instruments.  The violin is a difficult instrument to learn to play and I do admire how Itzhak Perlman performed this piece.  The piano, also requires advance skill and technique as well, to perform this piece.  Music has an expression in any instrument along with the skills we acquire in our lifetime.

 I didn't like it, Rubinstein was a lot more expressive, but you know who really plays this well, the very pretty Helen Grimaud ( spelling not sure ).
