"No 13"

Sheer poetry in a single Variatio.
JSB going "slightly sentimental" in the midst of his "verschiedenen Verænderungen" - aka the so-called "Goldberg Variations"

Bach may wax sentimental, but he never gets mawkish or saccharine. Tenderness is the 'mot juste', I think--and thank you so much for these few soul-healing minutes of it.

Slightly sentimental, however completely beautiful.

[@mallorga1965]

Beautiful, Maestro. Thanks.

[@paolaerdas6005]

Ma che poetico, thank you Ketil, for this present!

[@box21946]

Absolutely wonderful. I will confess that at one point in your execution of the piece, I jettisoned a tear. You bring back memories of my mother who was studying to be a classical pianist (until I came along😂)

Nydelig🙂

[@ichirofakename]

is this a joke?

[@cembalaro]

No, not that I am aware of - The 'no. thirteen' is a ballade-of-sorts with rich & florid Italian ornamentation - lyrical, "verspielt"and possibly bordering on the sentimental - but not 'joking'. Why do you ask, may I ask...?
