Johann Sebastian Bach - Violin sonata No. 1 in G minor, BWV 1001 - II. Fuga
Performed by Itzhak Perlman
1200

I've noticed that much of Bach's work composed for one instrument is often played on a different one as well. For instance, his Keyboard Concerto #5, ii Largo was done by Yo Yo Ma and posted on youtube a while back -- a heart-wrenching cello piece that was misleadingly labeled 'Canon'.

So I looked for your tune in another medium? and found this one:




-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --


In a different vein, on trying to trace the origin of the following tune I have one authority
that says it's baroque period by an anonymous composer. I like it -- so here it is.


Going Home, Slow Air - Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
