Hardest Bach piece
on: December 05, 2008, 08:30:34 PM
What is the most difficult/challenging work by J.S. Bach for SOLO PIANO? The work can be anything from a suite/partita, to the Well Tempered Klavier, to the Goldberg Variations. What is the overall most challenging piece? Please discuss it and explain why you believe it to be the most difficult piece.
