It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Did ya ever imagine that your musical compositions would be performed, heard and loved by thousands of folks around the world on a daily basis 261 years after your death ???
Madison, WI hosted a "Bach around the Clock" - 12 hour marathon of folks sharing with each other their love of playing the master.
Somehow it never got the press that all the govenor/government protesting got at our state capitol over the last many weeks! I can't imagine why.
1904 Henry F. Miller Concert Grand * 2002 Estonia 190 Satin Bubinga * 2008 Schulze-Pohlman vertical 125 polished cherrywood peacock design * 2008 Schoenhut minature grand (49 keys) * 2008 Roland Digital Harpsichord, 2010 Roland FP-4 (88 key slab).
I'll have you know I was responsible for a full 1/12 of the "Bach around the Clock", in Madison WI! Originally I had said that I would provide roughly a half hour, but then the Moderator asked if I could extend that to an hour -- which I did. If you're curious about the program:
Arioso (transcribed Max Perari) WTC Prelude/Fugue in F# Minor, No 14 Bk 2 French Suite No 5 (no repeats) WTC Prelude/Fugue in G Minor, No 16 Bk 2 WTC Prelude/Fugue in E Major, No 9 Bk 2 Chaconne in D Minor, transcribed by Johannes Brahms for left hand alone.
I'm pleased to say that it was a very responsive piano. There were some fluffs, which I expected "going in".It's grueling, though, to play a full hour!
The P&F in E minor, 'The Wedge' (for organ), has always been the outstanding Bach composition in my life. Happy Birthday, JS! (Horribly difficult, thanks.)
Yeah, I did I know, I know...hahaha...I love him though!
