Yeup. It's Bach's Prelude No. 1 from WTC 1 but it's also Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley :)

Great idea  ;D Something seemed really strange regarding what keys you were pressing in the Bach prelude until I realized you transposed it. Is it the same harmonic progression as the real song?

Once the mashup starts, the first 4 bars (the iconic chord progression heard in the opening) are the same. After that it’s not quite the same as the original but the voicings of the chords match what the prelude does in other sections.
