Product description
The Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 543 is originally an organ piece written by Johann Sebastian Bach sometime during his time as court organist to the Duke of Saxony and Weimar from 1708-1713. Due to the rhapsodic nature of the piece, it is played freely and at different tempos and can easily be transcribed for another instrument.
We now bring you this piece in a transcription for piano by Franz Liszt.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. He was a master of polyphony and brought to perfection the musical form of the fugue. He composed 1126 musical compositions of various forms (they are referred to by the abbreviation BWV and serial number). In his time, Bach became famous mainly as a keyboard player, but as a composer he was less known. His music was perceived as conservative, and after his death it fell into oblivion for almost fifty years.
Franz (Ferenc) Liszt (1811-1886) was an Austro-Hungarian composer, an excellent pianist, conductor and music educator, who is one of the main representatives of Romanticism. As a pianist, he is considered one of the greatest and most famous pianists of his time.
