| Bach's Keyboard Music What keyboard music of Bach do you like? He wrote loads of the stuff: inventions, (english, french) suites, partitas, Well-Tempered Clavier, Keyboard concerti, Goldberg Variations etc.  |

| All of it. I especially like the Partidas, the Italian Concerto and the Chromatic Fantasy. The English and French suites are fun too. (I assume organ is excluded from "keyboard" because the organ has too many.) |

| Hey! I got auto-logged out again, for the time it took to type and check this post. What?!?!?! Lucky I saved it on the clipboard! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = Shame because I can't avert his organ music. I've rarely heard anything as powerful as the Passacaglia and Fugue in Cm, bwv 528. Because of Bach I came to love the sound (and philosophy) of the Silbermann organs. However, I listen well into the 48 before a break, understanding the work was meant to show that it was as easy to play in any any key, major or minor. Because of Bach, I came to realise how little music has really moved on (if one is going to be diatonic) after Bach. His command of harmonic progression..... Reith. |

Bach composed wonderful music to the hapsichord: the 6 Partitas, the 6 English Suites, the 6 French Suites, the Goldberg Variations and, above all, the Well Tempered Clavier, books 1 and 2. Some of this works shows a inner emotion deeply touching, like the Sarabande of the Partita BWV 825 or the Sarabande of the English Suite BWV 810, and, of course, the Preludes of the WTC. |

His Passepied is in ABRSM Selected Exam Pieces 2005/6 and the footnote states that Bach "was clearly influenced by it in his compositin of the English Suites." |

| For me, its hard not to like anything composed by Bach as he is my ultimate fav! But of all his keyboard works I guess his keyboard concerti are my favorite. |

| I pretty much love everything he wrote, though I have no special keyboard music of his that I like best, perhaps because I've never really heard any real recording of his keyboard music (I'm still very much new into classical music). |
