One of the best versions on youtube. Harp and Bach goes very well together.

I remember my farther playing this to me when i was young, oh what wonderful times they were.Beautiful Blissful Music.

[@bassmajor]

This piece gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. Mainly because of it's significance. it is the opening piece to the most important compendium of western music, the well-tempered-clavier and it sounds as if it was the introductory piece to all western music.

First time hearing it, let me start by saying I don't even cry when people I know die, but holy hell this literally brought me to tears in ethereal blissful glory. All hail Bach!

I sing Ave Maria in my head as I listen to this performance ... so enchanting yet powerful. There is something about this melody that conveys inner strength ... I don't know ... words fail me

[@ErieBoy62]

Well done. This is only the second version of Prelude number 1 I have found on RUclips in which the artist did not put some stupid flourish on in the last five seconds of the piece.

I luv this piece =) it allows you to express yourself

[@smile75058]

This is definitely harp. I'm re learning it on the lever harp (I first learned it on a pedal harp) . . . . Beautiful. Reminds me of the ocean, or a troubled lover. :-)

belloo.

[@davide.gabert8458]

This has it all, the basis, the "corners", the yin, yang, and pings of our Western scale of music, the ins and outs of C, Clear around to C#, from F#, from Bb, Eb, and Ab.....always moving, always right, though sounding "wrong" here and there, aresolving always..... to C. d

[@Kingfotog]

Amazing to think this was written almost 300 years ago.

[@harlawentlaw]

Very pretty :)

[@snoopy1804]

i think so too, musicoftheuniverse!

[@dgg32]

yeh bro, agree

[@MissyHolland]

I agree with William Buckley: "If Bach isn't in heaven, then I don't want to go there."

[@JMEASYGOING]

Wonderful version ! Who is the pianist ???

[@MissyHolland]

Thank you Camposi, and also the eleven people who like my comment.

[@Haesoliguess]

bro 2008 is the when the youtube came out and it was beta

[@MissyHolland]

It sounds like a harp to me, too. (And I have the pic hanging up over my harpsichord.)

[@JMEASYGOING]

@yoleta
Oui, c'est magnifique à la harpe egalement
J'espere que tu parles français ? Do you prefer english ?

[@TheOHenry666]

The "Ave Maria" you are referring to is not by Schubert. It is an arrangement by another composer.
I would still listen to Schubert's Ave maria though, it's heavenly.

[@121ego]

I am not a musician, yet it impresses me that the entrance to the movement was plagiarized by Schubert later on his Ave Maria, nes't pas? Nothing wrong with that, because art is not restricted to places, people and regions...It's universal and flows with the wind. Thanks for sharing.

[@circe1657]

That was my very first thought: Ave Maria. Well, now I know. "Flows with the wind" ... I like that.

[@edthewave]

Could it be a younger portrait?

[@yoleta]

@JMEASYGOING No suena a piano, parece un arpa, no?

[@marcovich000]

lalalalalala....

[@TheOHenry666]

You have to be either a big classical music fan or a musician to know these things. So don't sweat it. : )

[@121ego]

Sorry, you are right. It was Gounod and yes, I am still NOT a musician. The fact is simple, Beethoven copied Mozart, Mozart copied things from other people, and so forth, because there was no internet and the Chinese were too far in those days... Thanks for correction.

[@circe1657]

Gounod? I am a musician and I didn't know that.

[@Nohshing]

@newall21 Well the interpretation isn't actually that WOW...

[@Dubickimus]

about that picture, isnt Bach supposed to be a big fat guy?

[@lerippletoe6893]

It's too bad this version uses the wrong measure added in

[@JBombzzz96]

I find Beethoven's sonatas to be so much better than this..

[@chopinandliszt]

I don't think this is a harpsichord, it sounds awfully like a harp.
