Bach: Concerto for Harpsichord and String Orchestra in D minor (BWV 1052), first movement (Allegro) (conducted by Trevor Pinnock)
It is said that Bach is one of the greatest composers in music history, second only to Beethoven in terms of his status in music history and his wide appeal among listeners today.
Although I had long since heard of these great musicians by name, my first real encounter with Bach’s distinctiveness actually began with that famous work on logical paradoxes, Gödel, Escher, Bach.
Indeed, Bach’s music is full of a sense of “circulation” (I don’t know how else to put it…), and its depth, harmony, and complexity can also be said to be perfect.
My earliest conscious listening to Bach’s music was probably sacred music, mainly organ music. Bach is said to have been the last great composer of sacred music.
His music carries a particularly religious aura: holy, transcendent, mysterious.
Recently I’ve been changing instruments every issue, and this time I chose a piece for the “harpsichord,” that is, a kind of so-called “clavier.”
Because it seems that the music for this instrument that is easy to find is almost all Bach’s, which makes it rather distinctive~

I only started paying attention to sacred music this year, and I immediately liked it. Grand and mysterious.
I’ve always liked the clavichord…….
The way you put it, I’m actually becoming more interested in classical music…. - mist

If you have a Visa card, you can go to officelive.microsoft.com to apply for a personal domain name, free for life, 500M space, 10G bandwidth/month, very fast; one advantage over Google Page is that it won’t reset the connection after n seconds of being connected. It’s said that n<60, so if there’s no speed, files downloaded from Gpage will be incomplete
