I haven't posted much Bach, but there are a number of fugues of his I do play. I find him a very challenging composer for a variety of reasons.

I take this fugue much faster than is normally the case, I think; my apologies if it gets a little wild at times.

With video footage of a small river near where I live in the springtime. The birds were singing very loudly that day, and though I have almost muted the video, you can still hear them at times. I am not sure if I think they add to the music or are just a distraction, but there they are for now!
