NY Steinway D Classical Recording Bach BWV 911 Toccata

Favorite Selections from Stig’s (pianoteqenthusiast’s, Organteqenthusiast’s, Harpteqenthusiast’s) ”Music Library”

Today’s selection is:

Johann Sebastian Bach’s TOCCATA IN C Minor BWV 911, part one, Toccata ( not uploaded in the forum before )  BWV 910-916

Notice: I think the end of the Toccata sounds as if Bach suddenly got in a hurry to do something else and did not finish the piece 

I think there is no standard way of playing this piece on piano, so I tried to be creative. Someone said the Toccata was laid out in a sequence of rhapsodic or improvisatory passages alternating with more learned passages of imitative counterpoint”.
Bach’s seven toccatas for harpsichord most likely date from his twenties, when he was still trying to make a name for himself as a keyboard player.
1 Toccata 2 Adagio 3 Fuga 4 Adagio 5 Fuga 6 Adagio / Presto

I’m playing Toccata now. If possible I upload the rest here in this same thread one by one, maybe, if people like it  / are interested.
Had sheet only for toccata. Have to wait for the sheet to the rest of 911 from my city’s library via an interlibrary loan (a patron of one library can borrow books, music, etc. and/or receive photocopies of documents that are owned by another library).

The toccatas represent Bach's earliest keyboard compositions 910 911 916 compiled by Bach's oldest brother, Johann Christoph Bach between 1707 and 1713.
