Which Bach piece is this?
on: December 31, 2010, 01:09:38 AM
I'm wondering what the very first piece is, which is played in the BBC Bach documentary
( starts at about 0:50 )

I really think I should know this, but I just can't remember...

Thanks,
Lars

If you stare at the video with great intensity while the music is playing for about a minute, the name of the piece will reveal itself to you.  :P

I've never liked Schiff way to play Bach... It's the Goldberg variations!
