@Bernios I feel like saying that no other composer had the same power as Bach to make their/his/her audience feel what the composer wanted them to feel is going a bit far. There are so many beautiful pieces of music that do the exact thing you're describing. We can't even be 100% sure that Bach intended it to be played the way it was played in this video so I see it as more of a David Tyler interpretation of what he thinks how it is supposed to be played.

I just don't like the saying "This person is the best musician/composer ever." because in the end it is just subjective and does it really matter? Does it actually matter who the best composer is/was? I'm not sure about that.
Bach told his story beautifully through his music, no one can deny that but in the end it just is what he tried to tell by using instruments and notes.
To think that one life is enough to tell all the stories you need is denying yourself to listen to other stories which can be just as moving.
There are so many more stories to listen to so why settle for one if you can just enjoy so many more because there are plenty of just purely inspiring musicians even today.

As an artist myself, I hate it when someone tries to praise me way too much because I'm not trying to be the best in this world, I'm trying to be as good as I need to be to translate my feelings and my story into the medium I choose to portray it in. I succeeded once I know that people understand what I was trying to show with my art.

That's why I never say "this artist is the best in this" or anything similar, because I like to imagine that they wouldn't like to hear that sentence just like I don't like to hear it.
Art always comes from inspiration, an uninspired person has a harder time coming up with an art piece compared to one that is inspired.
Which basically tells us that the human brain works with input and output which correlates to experience, going through an experience and processing it to understand your own feelings and after that most people want to share those experiences. (Experience = Input/ Sharing it = Output in whatever medium you choose).
Artists do it by creating art pieces that invoke the feelings they went through and I honestly wouldn't want to limit myself to just one lifetime of feelings when I have the opportunity to listen to and appreciate hundreds of lifetimes through art.

0:40 that note. That note is surreal. Brilliant. Every time I listen to this, that note gets me. What magnificent progression.

I know what you mean - when I first learned this piece on the piano, I used to get goose bumps every time I played that passage. Bach had this instinct to touch the listeners heart directly. No other composer had that power to the same extent as Bach.

oldlux

agreed

Henrique

@Bernios I feel the same. Bach was a freaking genius!

Love the relaxed tempo--so often the piece is played too fast, faster than the ear can absorb its beauty. It's not a technical exercise, it's an unpretentious work of art.

Steve Stringer

I agree. If played too fast the perfection of Bach is lost. Every composer has good works and not so good works. However, everything that J.S. Bach wrote was perfect. The form and the harmonic structure were perfect. That is why we still study his works today. Sure, he went by certain "rules", if you will, when composing. However, for more modern composers to "break" the rules one must first know what the res to be broken are.

Ross the Music and Guitar Teacher

I agree with you entirely.

Allan D

I have played this for many years and cannot recall ever seeing a tempo guide on the sheet for this. It is often played faster due to the interesting melody being in the bass line. Bach wrote it for a harpsichord so it would normally be very fast I would imagine. I quite like it played this slow on this majestic instrument though..
