I'm still to see the other. You play pretty nicely. Next, try the
Busoni edition. ;)
BTW, some scholars believe this is not genuine Bach, that he adapted
some toccata for violin from someone else. It's still wonderful.
You know, I'm really shy to play the piano to others, not that I play as
good as you do anyway... :P

Yeah, so I keep hearing. All I know is whoever wrote this thing was
*insane*. (And possibly a genius as well...)
By the way, I looked up "fugue" on Wikipedia. It's quite interesting. It
seems a fugue is basically a musical fractal. How neat is that?

I can play really well, UNLESS I HAVE AN AUDIENCE! o_O
You think playing the piano is bad! Try walking into a large, deserted
stone building and playing an instrument so loud that people a few
blocks away can hear it when you miss a note! ._.
Nervous? Hell yeah!

You should read Godel, Escher, Bach. The whole Bach part is about how
his music is all self-referential like Escher and Godel's stuff is.

It was an adaptation for the piano by the late 19th. It's way harder. ;)

Yes, basically. Bach excelled at fugues. He was the most mathematician of all
musicians. :D

Wow! And you tell you're shy! O_o

I can't imagine how you withstand it!
When all I had was an acoustic piano, I tried by all means to play pianissimo so
that other people wouldn't listen to my errors. :P
Now I have a digital piano. Ah, earphones... :)

One of the examples in the book is Bach's "Crab Canon", which you can
turn upside down and play and get the same song. Just as an example.
And, apropos of not much, this was pretty cool:

But the Bach sounds pretty good for someone who does it for fun. :-)

It seems the score I have is a simplified version as it is...

That's what I'm saying. Having an audience makes me all shy and
self-concious and I start making dumb mistakes and stuff...
> I can't imagine how you withstand it!
Knowing the camera is rolling makes you kind of try to keep going no
matter what... Hey, the 3 clips I've posted online are cut from a reel
of about 15 seperate takes! o_O

...Godel is self-referential?

I don't think that's Bach. :P
But anyway, drums&bass seem to be the only way of getting people to listen to a
violin today. This and "Girl with electronic violin" with violin sounding like
a guitar... :P
Along these lines:

Hmm, it sounds quite like the original to me.

Yes, very much! :)

Oh, sorry! I got it wrong. :P
Then, it is the same as me. :P
Having a passion for organs doesn't help... ^_^
