Bach toccata from Partita no.6
on: April 15, 2009, 01:26:35 PM
My brother and I have been having a discussing recently regarding the tempo of this particular movement. I've listened to many recordings of it and almost every pianist that plays it chooses a fairly slow tempo. Even though interpreting Bach is a very free and personal thing, this movement is clearly marked "toccata" which is supposed to be a fast moving, improvisational style piece.


We're curious what your opinions are when interpreting this piece and how you formed this interpretation.
