The first movement of this Partita from Johann Sebastian Bach's Clavier-Übung I ("keyboard exercise" collection) is one of my favorite pieces of music.

Admiration for those who have mastered the art of piano playing is fused into my nervous system. This recording is my thanks for their enormous impact on my creative life.
