J.S. Bach transcriptions for solo piano

40 minutes of transcriptions by Busoni and Siloti.

I've reordered the program, remastered the audio and compiled the separate recordings into one continuous video. This will be the intended recital order.

The Chaconne of Bach-Busoni-Siloti, or Three's Company

This week I took a detour from the Nick Drake transcription project, after a brief exchange with @Jim Symon on the art of transcription, which led me study the Bach Chaconne transcribed by Siloti. Pianists and audiences are well familiar with the Busoni transcription, which has attained a mythic status (and remains beyond my ability to play), but Alexander Siloti transcribed Busoni's transcription, providing pianists of more modest means access to the heart and soul of an otherwise inscrutable work. A "Bach-Busoni Lite", if you will.
