Can you even begin to appreciate and imagine such a mind as Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven or Brahms? As a choirmaster and organist, violinist, violist, teacher and composer myself, I often have wondered if anyone sitting in any of the great and small churches I have played in, even appreciated me for example. The vast major of people just have nooooo idea as to what it takes to not only perform on this level weekly AND to compose; creating works like this week after week. Each composition and its performance a miracle of the human mind and spirit AND all in homage to GOD!

Yes, there's something about the god idea that seems very important in the work of Bach. Mind you, that's not the case for every composer, but with Bach it just fits.
Bach is SUCH a genius in the way he arranged this. Don't forget how much he learned from and admired his contemporaries like Jan Reincken, Dieterich Buxtehude, and François Coupérin.

Having listened to JS Bach's complete works (160+ CDs), when I heard the Vivaldi influenced works it felt as though Bach had already far surpassed him in contrapuntal sophistication. I recall his employer asked him to investigate the fashionable Vivaldi's work. I would suggest any influence was limited compared to that of his first fascination - the North German and Dutch organists.

@@gustinian I agree that Bach surpassed Vivaldi in contrapuntal sophistication. However, I think the Italian influence on his work is substantial, and not limited to Vivaldi. Other composers from that country said to have influenced him greatly include Corelli, Albinoni, Frescobaldi, and Palestrina. Several suites for keyboard would be far poorer if not for the Italian style and themes he used. However, I agree about the substantial influence of North German and Dutch organists, too, which may be far greater.

According to a reported quote from Reincken, the composer was impressed when he met Bach in Lüneburg: "I thought the art was dead, but I see it lives in you." This apparently occurred when Bach improvised on the chorale, „An Wasserflüssen Babylon“. I can't confirm the veracity of this quote, but we do know that Bach studied with Reincken.

@@adonisadmirer2752 Very few of Reincken's works have survived - but the Hortus was one --- it's a collection of six trio sonatas in multiple movements (typically two violins and continuo). You can consider this 'arrangement' as an extension of the original - adding some passages such as episodes to the fugue and embellishments and figurations to the rest. But it is a fairly faithful transcription in many ways. Reincken, who knew Bach, said "I thought my art was dead but I see it lives in you" --- he lived to a very old age!

Anyway the Fugue goes hard as fuckkkkk, I' m istantly off to learn it! (not a native english speaker, forgive me if I made mistakes)

The only mistake is saying "one of my pianists colleagues". It is "one of my pianist colleagues". Makes sense your way, but we don't agree plurals in such a manner. It's referring to one pianist (who is one person among your many diverse colleagues). The rest, with your adept use of idiomatic expressions, etc is perfect! The misspelling of instantly is obviously a typo. Hope the Bach goes well and isn't too hard !
