If I could delete all my videos except for one, this would be it. Bach's Chacoone is not a small journey for pussies, but a saga that goes through the bottom of your soul and back again. Even though there are still room for improvements (which I will continue to record), this is the first time I recorded this piece from beginning to end in one take with memory, and with the fact that my body is also at its peak makes this video somewhat of a milestone. There were 3 cameras set up, but a single audio runs through the whole video.
On "the Chacoone". It is one of the most complex pieces of music ever written for the one of the hardest instruments to play. In fact, they sent this piece to space as an indicator of one of civilization's achievement. As the story goes, Bach wrote it in memory of his first wife, after he returned from a trip to discover that she had died. Bach described it as,
"On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind".
