A piano transcription of Bach’s Chaconne. A particularly brilliant section starts at 9:00.
Brahms wrote of the Chaconne, “The Chaconne is one of the most wonderful, incomprehensible pieces of music. On a single staff, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and the most powerful feelings. If I were to imagine how I might have made, conceived the piece, I know for certain that the overwhelming excitement and awe would have driven me mad”
