Topic: Little Prelude in F Major Bach BWV 928 with Harpsichord Ruckers ll

Little Prelude in F Major Bach BWV 928 played with H Ruckers ll Harpsichord Recording.


This is from a notebook from 1911, published by Karl Ekman - ”31 little preludes and fugues”. He has based his work on three previous editions of the same work, including the Italian "Edizione Ricordi" published by Mugellini. Regarding phrasing and execution of embellishments, he has followed the excellent edition published by Mugellini. For some reason, he, Mugellini, has excluded this piece, no. 19, so Ekman included 19 in this sheet music.
(working also on No 31, fugue, but it is very very difficult for me...might come later. Stay tuned 

Did Bach ever play a piano? Yes he did. The piano was invented in his life time and although he didn't particularly like the first (prototype) he played, he did enjoy later models. He wrote mainly for organ, harpsichord and clavier and these pieces are able to be transferred to piano.

The pianist, conductor, arranger, teacher and critic, Karl Ludvig Ekman, was born to the Kantor Berndt Ludvig Ekman and Charlotta Nyström. Ekman graduated from high school in 1889 and studied German language and aesthetics at the University of Helsinki from 1889 to 1892.
He continued his studies from 1892 to 1895 in Berlin, piano playing and composition with Hans Barth and Albert becker, as well as in Vienna with Alfred Grünfeldin. Later, he studied also in Paris and Rome.
For a long time, Karl Ekman was considered Finland's most respected concert pianist

All the best, everyone

Stig

Good Job !
I always like Bach music but on Harpsichord it sounds more genuine and original than that performed on the piano.
Thank you so much for sharing !!!

Yes, and I would like to see more people play on harpsichord in this forum. There are many different to choose from.
Thank you carmelo for always listening and giving comments. I appreciate it much.

Best wishes,
