  • I heard David Russell play this and was amazed how he could play it in D-Major. (Brilliant performance!) I decided to make it in the original key of Eb-Major. This is achieved by playing it in C-Major and adding a Capo in 3rd fret. It is a lot easier than in D-Major, (but far from easy), and sounds pretty nice, I think. I hope you enjoy this beautiful music by Bach!
    Love & Peace!
    Per-Olov

    Without any attempt at showing flash, fancy or over-fast playing, Mr. Kindgren instead provides his powerful, poetic and masterful command of the instrument and a deep understanding of J.S. Bach. Mesmerizing for the ears and eyes. Voicing!

      And those who interpret him too. Without them we wouldn't hear his music. And also the instrument makers and those who support them too. The list goes on and on. Perhaps we should just say thank God for everything and everyone and thanks for existence itself.
      It's the latter sentiment that I think Bach was trying to convey through his music.
      Thanks for your comment. It inspired me!
      All good things!
