Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565” (tinyurl.com/mp2vtvre) is considered one of the most famous and recognizable Organ compositions in music history due to being featured in horror films and other media. Despite this it was nearly lost to time due to not being published until well after Bach had passed. The single surviving manuscript of this piece still raises questions RE: Bach’s intentions for the piece

First up we have Canadian jazz piano virtuoso Oscar Peterson🇨🇦 and his Trio with “The Bach Suite” (youtu.be/RPPQLzwCosI?si=5wx9Mo) Peterson originally trained in classical piano and unlike other jazz tributes to classical composers “The Bach Suite” is not mostly based on musical quotations (see Jon Batiste’s Beethoven tribute from yesterday: youtu.be/-5YRhvH6Uys?si=WM85GM) but stil pays homage to Bach’s work (e.g. the “conversation” between the left and right hands)

Der 11.4. war 1727 der Karfreitag - und da wurde J. S. Bachs #Matthäuspassion uraufgeführt. Weit über 2 Stunden ist dieses Wunderwerk lang und damit die längere der beiden erhaltenen Bach-Passionen. Nach Bachs Tod geriet das Werk in Vergessenheit und wurde erst von Mendelssohn 1829 wiederentdeckt. Danach begann eine einzigartige Erfolgsgeschichte.
