Was Bach Meant to Sound Like This?
Today we often hear Bach performed on modern pianos, historic harpsichords and period organs. But was there ever a single "correct" way to play Bach? In this video I explore one of the biggest myths surrounding Bach: the idea that there is only one authentic Bach. Looking at the instruments Bach knew, the flexibility of eighteenth-century musical practice, and the continuing debate over historical performance, we discover a more complex and fascinating reality. Featuring music from The Art of Fugue, the Goldberg Variations, the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Organ Trio Sonatas. If you enjoy thoughtful explorations of Bach, classical music and performance practice, please consider subscribing. #Bach #JohannSebastianBach #ClassicalMusic #BaroqueMusic #MusicHistory #OrganMusic #Harpsichord #Piano #HistoricallyInformedPerformance #Musicology
