Bach's Most Joyful Piece? (Chorale Preludes x2)

In this episode I delve into two very diverse chorale preludes: one from the so-called, “Great 18” and one from the individually transmitted.

Here is a link to Bach’s own autograph of the Leipzig chorales. Beautiful handwriting!

Marie-Claire Alain’s recording of BWV 655 (completely different to Koopman’s)

The “Organ Sonatas” I recorded with LH/RH hard panning On Spotify on Apple Music

P.S. This is the first episode released on the new substack website- please shout if you experience problems!
