Schumann: "B.a.c.h" - The organ works

Vernet, Olivier

LIG 104222

Schumann was deeply impressed by Bach's music. It brought him a little peace and quiet that his restless mind so desperately needed. In his instructions to young musicians, he recommended that Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" should be their daily bread. And the respected pianist wrote that one should never miss the opportunity to practice on the organ; no other instrument deals so relentlessly with mistakes that are the result of a bad musical education. And yet he did not appreciate the instrument as a means of expressing his own ideas. But he did show great interest in the pedal piano, because it allowed him to play Bach's organ works comfortably at home, while still being able to use the piano's expressive possibilities of expression. It is therefore, conversely, certainly justified to transfer his works for the pedal piano to the organ.
