The Toccata & Fugue in D Minor by Bach

This is one of the most beauteous pieces I've heard from him. It's about ten minutes long, and it is just gorgeous. Bach is a great genius.

Has anyone heard of it? (Obviously I know it because I'm listing to it now.)

Isn't that the music they play in all of the haunted houses?

Not exactly a fan of Bach, per se, but I certinally appreciate that he was a genius.

Hey Danny, that is quite a great piece.. I know this is against the rules.. but you'd probably really like my forum!

I get everyone has heard this, even if they don't know it by name. Seriously awesome work.

I just remembered that Fugue in G Minor makes an appearance in Mega Man Legends/64 for one of the final bosses, as do other pieces including Air.

Pretty neat.

I've played the opening section of this on the big organ we had in our school hall (the rest was too difficult, especially with the foot pedals!) - great fun pelting it out though

I like the song "Rattlesnake Shake" by Sebastian Bach. Mind you, that would be the Sebastian Bach that headlined the metal band "Skid Row", not the old dead guy

I know where to get the sheet music if we have any other piano/organ players in the house

Bach, bah! Give me a Rach piano concerto anyday... Bach... Bach!?

(I'm just biased against his main weapon of choice, is all)

I played a piece by Bach called Fugue in D minor for my Grade 8 piano exam...technically amazing. I love music from the Baroque era.

I'm a fan of Beethoven's 5th by Steve Vai.
