Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and the Other Bach Transcriptions for Solo Piano (Dover Classical Piano Music)

Busoni is the gold standard, and this an excellent value.

The book contains Busoni transcriptions/arrangements of the following works by Bach and transcribed for the concert solo piano by Ferruccio Busoni. These are not the 'chamber style' if you are not familiar with concert style of Ferruccio Busoni, you should check out Busoni versions of the D Minor Toccata and Fugue at imslp.org). A set of major editor's versions are available for simultaneous comparison in one book that is on the imslp.org web site.The contents of the subject Amazon book are as follows:Prelude and Fugue in D Major BWV 532Prelude and Fugue in E-flat Major BWV 552Toccata in C Major BWV 564Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565 (Bach's authorship of this work is disputed. One possible alternative author is Johann Peter Kellner)Chaconne in D Minor from Partita II for Violin BWV 1004Ten Chorale-Preludes Komm, Gott Schopfer Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme Nun komm' der Heiden Heiland Nun freut euch, lieben Christen gmein Ich ruf' zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ Herr Gott, nun schleuss den Himmel auf Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt (BWV 637) Durch Adams Fall is ganz verderbt (BWV 705) In dir ist Freude Jesu Christus, unser Heiland

All pianists can learn from these !

This has been a great value. The Toccata and Fugue in D-Minor, the Chaconne, and 'Nun komm der heiden heiland' have all become standards in performances and competitions, and are very enjoyable to play (the 1st Liszt Mephisto Waltz Busoni arrangement is as well). I bought this book after getting frustrated with the IMSLP versions in ForScore on my iPad. I definitely got my money's worth, but wouldn't expect the binding on this book to last forever.

very small print

Nice collection of beautiful but very difficult pieces. I am working on some of the easier Choral Preludes transcribed by Busoni.

These Bach arrangements are hard to find, so I was pleased to find this. However, the print size has been reduced and can be difficult to read. These are challenging pieces to learn, and the small print doesn't help. The flip side is that these works would be very expensive to buy in full size format, so this was an affordable alternative.

Exceptionally fast and efficient service without being too expensive. The contents are interesting. The Bach purist would probably not be impressed.

Comprei esse livro por causa do titulo, e a edicao que eu recebi chegou igualzinha ao pdf que esta em dominio publico no imslp, não compensa a compra.

The music from the start it build's up to to toccata and fugue this is fantastic

Tolle Zusammenstellung , jeden Cent wert, Noten sind vielleicht ein wenig klein, aber trotzdem sehr gut zu lesen. Alle bekannten Busoni Bach Transkriptionen sind enthalten, habe es noch ein zweites Mal gekauft.

Awesome songs, arrived quick
