BACHTOBERFEST season closer and Quodlibet BWV 524
Thanks so much to our listeners for being a part of our second season! On this second BACHTOBERFEST, we answer questions and read some great stories from listeners. We also listen to the hilarious "Quodlibet", a piece that seems too silly for Bach, but it is indeed by the master himself, and gives us a glimpse of his sense of humor. We also try a couple of beers, including a German Hefeweizen shandy. Listeners -- you've helped spread the word -- last year we were at 10,000 episode downloads; now we are over 55,000. Thank you!! We'll drop a blooper reel for Season 2 soon, as well as a bonus interview with composer and conductor Jim Meredith. PATREON -- a new opportunity to donate to A Moment of Bach -- always optional, always appreciated!
