Does anyone have the sheets to this?

Demidenko is great with this piece.

I am a little confused as i have the Dover complete Busoni-Bach Transcriptions book and niether of those pieces are listed.

I do have a piano score for the Adagio, but i do not know if it is Busoni. I have attached this one.

Concerning the Fantasia, can you tell me if the original bach score was for piano.

Thanks for the file :D

This piece is a hybrid of two Bach keyboard pieces. I don`t know if it is organ or cembalo/clavichord/ harpsichord etc.

You get a little bit more information here:

As you can see, the fantasia and fugue are bwv 906 while the adagio wich you sent me was bwv 968. I would love it if you could find the fantasia :)

I don`t think the file you sendt me was by Busoni, but thanks for taking your time.

I found this in my Bach file. I do not know if it is Bach-Busoni or just Bach.

However, i have listened to the recording whilst looking at the score and cannot see any difference. I must add that i have very mediocre sight reading skills.

Hope this is it. If not, i have to admit the possibility that i do not have the score.

Thanks.

I am actually a bit confused. Wish I owndedthe Demidenko cd, I just borrowed it.

The fantasia is to an original Bach composition(I am sure now). Busoni did probably just edit it.

As for the fugue: Bach left it unfinished and Busoni finished it. The score you gave me had an unfinished fugue.
