  • My Year of Bach

Berlin

5/11/2016

 
by Rebecca Cochran
 
I chanced upon mention of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 again yesterday. It was the footage of cellist, Mstislav Rostropovich giving an impromptu performance of the Sarabande from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 2 outdoors at Checkpoint Charlie as the Berlin Wall was beginning to come down. His choice of Bach seems so fitting.
 
Here’s the video that was captured at this momentous event.

    My Year of Bach.

    This is an experiment.
    I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

    ​I need Bach in my daily life.

    ​So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
