“Bach on the modern Steinway! - a bubbling cauldron of division, debate, and even derision, raging for well over half a century, and future-proofed as long as those stubborn pianists continue to stand so tenaciously!
And so - from the middle of last century until today - the feud continues as to whether Bach on the piano can be remotely considered legal tender.
Myself a composer for many years, I also believe all composers compose music by singing it first, either aloud or in their heads; I don’t believe, at that very nucleus moment, they hear music instrumentally. “Music itself” is the true genesis! The instrumental objective is a secondary thought. To ignore this simple fact, and believe the very birth of each musical idea is purely instrumental would be to ignore the very embryo of music composition.
Bach’s music is pure music, regardless of the instrument, evidenced indeed by the dozens of his own compositions he himself re-scored for other instruments!” (Gil Sullivan)
