New CD release, J.S. Bach, Goldberg BWV988 (arranged for solo marimba) by Pius Cheung is now availabe at the following music stores:
i am very curious... has anyone heard this? this was music was considered unplayable for the most part for a long time, even by talented harpsichordists... until glenn gould kicked it out in the fifties... on a piano.
when he says "arranged", what exactly has been done? is it played in a simplified watered down form, or did he really mean transcribed... though in itself is a misnomer, considering that jsb himself did not concern himself too much with which particular keyboard instrument was being used at the time. with js bach and marimba... it is never "really" a transcription, considering the common practice at the time of playing the music on whatever keyboard instrument was most readily available at the time. has anyone that truly knows the music, heard this? what are your opinions?
