BEAUTIFUL & ROMANTIC
Story behind the song
BEAUTIFUL & ROMANTIC, this is one of Bach's most loved creations. A sublime melody, which never repeats itself once, is spun over a resolutely stepping bass line. Here it is transcribed for piano and bass, giving the piece a rhapsodic and highly personal character. The haltingly slow pace even gives it a tinge of longing and sadness. I repeat each half of the air, the second time with percussion.
