Someone asked where the sheet music can be found, but the comment has disappeared / been deleted. In case anyone is wondering: imslp.org/wiki/Prelude_and_Fugue_in_E-flat_major%2C_BWV_552_(Bach%2C_Johann_Sebastian) IMSLP has a lot of public domain classical stuff, but the transcriptions are a bit harder to find since they're listed under the original work. There is a "Performances" (audio) and "Sheet Music" section. Go to "Sheet Music" --> the tab that says "Transcriptions", then search for Busoni and you'll see it. This is the PDF direct link, btw: vmirror.imslp.org/files/imglnks/usimg/a/ad/IMSLP07744-Busoni_Bach_BWV552.pdf
Interesting for purpose of compositional analysis, though were it played even on a concert Steinway, at Symphony Hall, Boston, the majesty of the music is not, nor could it be, carried by this score for this instrument.
I agree, though I think there are other performances of the transcription (David Stanhope + Lorenzo Cossi + possibly others) that are at least a little more convincing!
@@brycehm Stanhope's piano performance of this big-stop organ piece is superb. You mentioned that this wasn't concert ready, but you certainly have the bones in place for it to become a great one. You certainly understand the dynamics that help make this monumental organ piece sing. You have a clear delineation of the lines, and a good grasp on articulation. When you have this piece perfected, you should repost it. You certainly have the talent. The best and most glorious interpretation of BMV 552, in my opinion, is that of the late, great English Cathedral Organist / recitalist, Peter Hurford, OBE. Hearing that played in a giant vaulted English cathedral is awe inspiring. Those base notes in the pedal can not only be heard, but felt inside the body. His rendition is on RUclips.
Amazing job. Well done. Thank you for adding in the score as well.
