Description
– Compositional dialogue between JS Bach and various musical cultures as well as musical modernism
– Medium level of difficulty, ideal for piano lessons, suitable for all ages
– Recording of all pieces, played by the author, on YouTube, accessible via QR code in the booklet
These world music pieces are intended as a compositional dialogue between JS Bach and non-European music from America, Africa, the Orient and the Balkans, as well as modern music. The richness of detail, transparency and polyphonic structure of Bach's music are also important for the works in this collection. Pianists do not expect jazzy variations. Rather, classical, (late) romantic, ragtime, jazz, samba, bossa nova, salsa, Balkan, minimal music, pop, gospel, atonal, African and oriental sounds are interwoven with Bach's music, which is quoted and reinterpreted – also as an inspiration to play Bach's piano works as a “counterpoint” to the pieces presented here.
