Johann Sebastian Bach - Prelude and Fugue in D major for Organ

Johann Sebastian Bach - Prelude and Fugue in D major for Organ Arrangement for Piano Komponist: Johann Sebastian Bach Antall sider: 18 Sjanger: Classical Instrument: Piano Utgivelsesår: 2019 Utgiver: G. Henle Verlag Utgavenummer: 1376 ISMN: 9790201813769 Aside from the violin Chaconne (HN 557) and the ten Chorale Preludes for organ (HN 1293), the Prelude and Fugue in D major ranks among the best-known piano transcriptions Busoni fashioned from J. S. Bach's works. Considerableevidence suggests that he viewed these three pieces as paradigmatic examples of his transcription technique. Busoni's explicit labelling of the Prelude and Fugue for concert performance in the title already serves as an indicationof the heightened virtuosic requirements. And, indeed, here Busoni demands that the pianist have perfectly mastered the keyboard, always with the aim of delegating to the piano, effectively but still in the spirit of Bach, themighty sound-world of the organ work. This Urtext edition is heartily recommended to all those pianists who have ever wanted, finally, to pull out all the stops on the piano.
