This collection of Rummel's J.S. Bach 'adaptations' for the Piano presents twelve titles from the original twenty-five originally published by J & W Chester between 1922 and 1938 demonstrating a range of styles from thecontemplative Liebster Jesu Wir Sind Hier to the uninhibited Sturze zu Boden. A close friend of Debussy Rummel belonged to a younger generation of leading composers leading a trend away from previous Keyboardtranscribers established by Busoni Liszt Reger and others who concentrated on adapting Bach's Organ works rather than the Vocal music.This vibrant collection is suitable for intermediate to advanced pianists but will beof interest to all who enjoy Bach's music for Keyboard.Born in Berlin to a diversely creative family Walter Rummel (1887 - 1953) was surrounded by art and music from an early age.

One of the most beautiful of all Bach's melodies, is this one taken from the alto aria of the 127th Cantata, and was accompanied by string quartet and oboe. As this accompaniment mainly consists of chords held by the strings, this adaptation was fraught with exceptional difficulties and it was only after three months' experiment that the adapter chose this form. Die seele ruht in Jesu handen.

This overture is the opening of the 146th Church Cantata. It is scored for full string orchestra with organ obbligato and is the original form of the first movement of the later and better known Piano Concerto in D minor. In its early form this work lends itself more readily to a modern piano adaptation than in the later Concerto form. Wir mussen durch viel trubsal in das reich Gottes eingehen.
SKU: HL.14030265
This sinfonia is the opening of the 12th church cantata. It was scored for oboe solo with string quartet accompaniment. The continuity of sounds in the chords formed by the strings has been in this adaptation obtained by means of arpeggios formed entirely out of the notes contained in the chords. Sinfonia-weinen, klagen, sorgen, zagen.

The Six Three-Part Preludes and Fugues are regarded as a unique testimony to Mozart's profound interest in the works of Bach.

I am presently collecting the fugues of Bach - not only of sebastian, but also of Emanuel and friedeman, wrote Mozart to his father in April 1782. This could be a hint that the Six Three-Part Preludes and Fugues were derived from this collection: Mozart wrote string-trio arrangements of two preludes and five fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, and of one fugue by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. This apparently plunged him into such a creative mood that he simply wrote the missing preludes himself. It is to Johann Nepomuk David that we owe the first edition of this work, which introduced this unique document to a broad public for the first time. The present edition has retained David's basic editorial decision to adapt the divergent passages of Mozart's arrangement to Bach's original music text.Contents:No. 1 - Adagio by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Fuga Mozart's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, Das Wohltemperirte Clavier I, Fuga 8 in D# minor BWV 853No. 2 - Adagio by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Fuga Mozart's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, Das Wohltemperirte Clavier II, Fuga 14 in F# minor BWV 883No. 3 - Adagio by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Fuga Mozart's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, Das Wohltemperirte Clavier II, Fuga 13 in F# major BWV 882.

The melody, 'Wachet Auf' ('Sleepers, Wake') was not composed by Bach, but was used by him in three of the seven movements of his Cantata No. 141. This arrangement features adaptations of the third and last movements of the Cantata. An introduction has been added, as well as a finale for the Gloria, for a more cohesive presentation. Contrasting movements offer fantastic opportunities to focus on contrapuntal and chorale playing. (Grade 3---Medium) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
