    W F Bach for keyboard

    I really don't know much of W.F. Bach's music at all, though I did play his wonderful duets for two violas when a student, they are lovely.

    His keyboard music is fiendishly difficult by the look and would work well on the organ given that it requires a two manual harpsichord.

    enjoy

    I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.

    Thanks.. I will have to look through these more closely. One I have and like very much is a piece called" Largo e Spiccato " edited by Dr. William C. Carl from book published in 1941.. have to laugh; the book "Ecclesiae Organum " was $2.50 then. I bought it used at auction for I believe was $8.50.

    Yes it does look on the difficult classification level with some really strange rhythmic patterns too I see.
