I knew and heard Bach's very short preludes, but this... This is just wow. True genius.

[@kneza96BG]

Actually this is the only "Surviving part" of the second movement of the 3rd brandenburg concerto, the rest was lost.

[@ItsMinceraft]

@@kneza96BG wait what all they recovered was two chords!?

[@kneza96BG]

@@ItsMinceraft unfortunately, yes

[@caterscarrots3407]

Didn’t know that, thought Bach only wrote 2 chords and intended a cadenza over those 2 chords. It would then make sense as to why no melody was written, most cadenzas weren’t written out in those days, wasn’t until Beethoven that writing out concerto cadenzas became standard.

[@bengeurden1272]

It doesn't really count as a piece, since it is incomplete. Bach probably would never write such short piece/musical fragment.

Imagine just playing two random chords and just accidently you just performance an entire bach piece

[@Dylonely42]

😂

[@pdqbachfan]

Regarding the Bach piece: “The second movement consists of a single measure with the two chords that make up a 'Phrygian half cadence and-although there is no direct evidence to support it-it was likely that these chords are meant to surround or follow a cadenza improvised by a harpsichord or violin player. Modern performance approaches range from simply playing the cadence with minimal ornamentation (treating it as a sort of "musical semicolon"), to inserting movements from other works, to cadenzas varying in length from under a minute to over two minutes.” - Wikipedia

I don’t know if I would count Liszt’s album leaves. They are just fragments of finished and unfinished works.

[@TheModicaLiszt]

He added cadences to these things and called them preludes though

[@cantkeepitin]

The best short piece is for me clearly Chopin's op 28 Number 22! From Pollini 's old DG record.

[@Jack-gm8hw]

The Liszt piece sounds like the final checkpoint in Mario Kart.

I would like to tell about that there is also an even shorter piece from Liszt's and it is the Ghent Album-Leaf S.163g, it is just 6 notes and almost a 1 or 2 seconds long, I like to spread some Liszt curiosities that probably no one it is interested about lol

[@OmnipresentPotato]

I don't think Bach's piece counts. It's only a movement in the concerto, and wouldn't be called a piece by its own, and it's just the first two recovered chords from the movement which was supposed to be longer . The actual shortest Bach piece is BWV 932, which is only 8 measures long (32 beats). I don't know why you chose to measure it using seconds, when that's obviously dependent on the tempo and rubato of the player.
