A real treat, thank you. Bach used this music also in cantata 29. Joel Hastings plays it on YouTube in an exquisite piano version. I have added it to my favourites.

By the way: I liked the anecdote. That was very funny!
Very nice piece of writing and recording! I didn’t know about that Schumann accompaniment to the partita (only to the prelude or to the entire piece?) Are there any harmonies in the Schumann that are not clearly implied by Bach’s violin part? And how exciting to have a master class with Lester! Did he also talk about history of theory or analyzed with you guys the implied harmonies and voices in the original Bach (or simply turned pages…)? I know of a somewhat opposite case, in which a musician felt that a Bach prelude (WTC I, #1) sounded like an accompaniment to a yet to be written melody… so he wrote a melody to a text by the Indian poet Tagore—I’m referring to Shlomo Gronich’s “Al Na Telech” [please don’t go]. He was a bit older than you (14) and didn’t know that the prelude was already “abused” by Gounod in his “Ave Maria”… The anecdote is totally hilarious!
It’s so much fun reading you. Keep posting! Tamara
I utterly enjoyed reading about Pianoroll » Blog Archive » Schumann’s Intention and think it was well worth the read. The only other site I found on Google wasnt as good as this one, thanks.
