1) After 19 days, basically for the fact I had to upload other keybord pieces in these weeks, I upload Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring from Cantata BWV147, that is Part 8 and I think the penultimate part of my "little-great" tribute for Bach's "birthday", 337th birthday on last March 31. Little because perhaps these pieces are not difficult to perform (but it depends, I mean inside there is also the most famous Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV565 which in any case is not I think it is so easy to perform and to close the tribute maybe it will be the Toccata, but only the Toccata, "Dorian" BWV538 always in D Minor, so I mean ..) and great because at the same time for what they make me feel in terms of emotions and more I consider them great pieces, certainly among the most beautiful of the legendary German composer, in fact we are talking, I said, of this tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach for his birthday, it seems to me the ninth, birthday that would have been last March 31st and would have turned 337 years old if he were still alive. Let's say that the tribute went on for a long time because then while I uploaded certain pieces dedicated to him then on other days I also uploaded other pieces and for this reason some have climbed for a long time:

2) Part 0 was an improvvised version of the Toccata from the Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV565 + some previews with other by pieces by Bach interpretated by me in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdwS5LZKNgo&t=579s;

Part 1 was "Wir Setzen uns mit Tränen nieder" + "Erbarme dich, mein Gott", uploaded for the Passion Day with also another video with a my old composition for the Psalm 31 "Father, in your hands": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=036rIHUg_fc&t=633s; Music for the Psalm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PQtn1_GjrU;

Part 2 was the full version of Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV565: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI4xiCL1XFg&t=689s (Organ); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSgnzZ8xQmA&t=685s (CP80);

Part 3 was Sonatina from Cantata "Actus Tragicus" BWV106: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp5uD6zebCU;

Part 4 was Siciliana BWV596: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDqvZ-Khufo;

Part 5 was Andante (Mvt. III) from Sonata in G Major for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord, BWV 1027: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzHQBPeLyS0;

Part 6 was Largo from Sonata in F Minor for Harpsichord and Strings, BWV1027: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrwEBsrbnAI&t=845s;

Part 7 was Prelude from Cello Sonata in G Major, BWV1007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBrAgQ331N4&t=423s;

Part 9 or last was Toccata "Dorian" from Toccata and Fugue "Dorian" BEV538: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_-mNzXlgJY.

3) Let's say I recommend all the originals of these pieces, and in particular as regard the Siciliana BWV596 listen the Volodos version: sublime. I recommend also the orechstra version of the most famous Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV565 and in particular that "BBC Proms 2010 - Bach Day 1" and that of Karl Richter as regard the Organ version.
However, in case anyone ever wants to watch any of the previous parts mentioned above, they are also in the "Classical Music" playlist and some also in the Tarkovskij-Artemiev playlist. Then I think I should close this tribute with the Part IX or 9, that will be only the Toccata from Toccata and Fuguea "Dorian" BWV538. The tribute in fact was opened by the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV565 and will close by the other Toccata in D Minor, in fact the Dorian BWV538. I think I'll upload in the next days, but I don't know when yet. And I deliberately chose to do so to say much more gloriously close the tribute. I hope you like this idea.
