Bach Transformed

Throughout the centuries since Bach's death, composers have grappled with the mastery and the mystery of his music. Many composers have tried their hands at arranging or transcribing Bach's music, so this week we'll discuss works like Brahms' reimagining of the Bach Chaconne, Stokowski's grandiose Toccata and Fugue, Webern's 6 part fugue, and many more. Bach's music calls out to be reworked and reimagined. Learning about these transcriptions helps to deepen our understanding of this superlative genius.
