Johann Sebastian Bach- Echoes - Bach’s Breath & Chopin

Chopin is said to have played in time (the metronome was always on the instrument), his left hand relentlessly keeping the tempo. Students also reported that he never played a piece in the same way, and that each performance produced a different result. And yet the composer's rubato playing was by no means as free as it is today. There are no reports of Chopin's playing of Bach in particular, but his admiration for the composer is certain. We therefore put the legend that he himself - according to his own statement - played only Bach for fourteen days before a concert into perspective and simply imagine that he worked intensively on "Bach" before his already rare performances. We can assume that the preludes and fugues of the "Well-Tempered Clavier", some of which are also heard in this project, were the focus of his interest. A closer look at Chopin's works, especially those of a smaller dimension, repeatedly catches the eye of modules that we think we already know from Bach. Individu
