thank you for your report on that remarkable concert. Sorry I could not attend.
“ He starts with the toccata and fugue in E minor, solo violin; then he says a few introductory words about his choices of program, instruments and their setup (his violin is strung with first and second in pure gut). Then you get caught in a magic musical world.”
I am curious to know, which piece was the first one in E Minor (I know there are transcriptions of organ toccata and fugue in D Minor BWV 565). Was this the same or another piece?
Hallo Klaus, thanks for your comment, and sorry for my mistake! Indeed it’s the same piece, the 565: it starts with E so it is in A minor (the violin transcription). I will correct in the article, thank you!
