hi Aida, its Bach's Preludes nr 11, 13 14 and 15, played by John Lewis Grant (public domain recording) I think you can find it by googling

Do you paint it all in one sitting or over a few days?

[@josvanr]

Hello! No more like a week. But I put the painting in a freezer over night , to prevent drying..
