Hard to say…

I prefer Bach on the piano in Organ trannies by Liszt, Busoni etc

Bach’s best works are by Busoni.

No way lmao

Busoni took some of Bach’s works and made them more Romantic and convenient for piano, he didn’t necessarily make them better

I now prefer the Bach-Busoni Gouldberg Variations over the original, despite the cuts. Same goes for the D minor concerto. But I get why you disagree. For me Bach’s greatest works are his organ and choral works.

Oh lol I thought you meant all of Bach when you said Busoni was better

I can see why Romantically-inclined listeners would prefer Busoni transcriptions, and the choral works are more accessible in terms of emotion and power

I was half joking about Busoni but do feel that way about the klavier stuff.

Clearly the Goldbergs, by popularity. I’m more humbled by 1080 though.

A Musical Offering also awes me but it’s less emotionally powerful and more of a remarkable academic achievement
