BWV 911 Toccata in c-minor - JSBach

My favorite piece. My favorite key. Written in Weimar in 1711. The opening is improvising section, free, strong, and spirit. In the Slow-cholare fugue, the 4 voices make gorgeous harmonies. Sustained notes are just amazing. Long fugue is following. ( double fugue is in the second half.) Fugue is like a traveling. Each subject has different face, color, and atmosphere. Long Bridge is so interesting. Something new is waiting over the bridge. Episodes make me so excited. I cannot stop playing this. So much fun! * recorded in New York, 2009
