myriad of the mundane

3.15.2005

This was different from the Bach that i listen to on a regular basis. It was harpsichord and strings where i'm used to big, overpowering organ. i love the organ pieces, the tocatta and fugue in D minor are some of my favorite classical pieces out there, right up there with smetana and beethoven's 7th. but at any rate, it was a different experience and i don't know that i liked it very well. seems to me that the organ pieces are more complex and awe inspiring, which are more baroque principles, as we've seen in the art. Things need to be grandiose and overdone. and a little dark. these pieces didn't feel like they were that.
