ENOUGH OUTA OF YOU IDIOTS who try and cut GG with the whole damm intsrument thing. His playing is flawless. That should be enough for you. And for all you fools that say he lacked passion, I think watching this video should resolve that!!!

I see what you mean now. Come to mention it, the whole film footage looks like it was put together in Flash. Just look at the way his hands move. And this web browser I'm using has clearly been faked in Microsoft Paint.

'A real fake' is surely an oxymoron. That's still an oxy more than you.

This is a crappy video. The audio is not the original one. It´s a midi file merged into the video. A real fake

Not only did Bach own several clavichords, but it was his favorite keyboard instrument, according to his first biographer, Forkel, based on interviews with Bach's own sons. Bach's music transcends the instrument. It is presumptuous to assume that Bach's style would have changed if the piano were available, for the same reason he did not write chamber music in the style of Brahms or Debussy and for the same reason why Baroque artists did not paint like Picasso despite having the same tools.

(part 2) You are completely right about him transcribing the same concerto for a different instrument. If you study the score, you will see he adapted the soloist part a lot to make it suit the new instrument better. Sometimes he even rearranged the orchestra parts. Isn't it plausible for me to think that - if Bach would have known the grand piano as we use it today - he would have written different music?

Hi Marcalans, in Bach's time the clavichord was not popular at all in Germany. I even doubt he ever saw, let alone played one. They were, however, very popular in England (as we see in the music of his son Johann Christian).
