I think what’s meant is that playing Bach on an “authentic” period instrument (harpsichord, organ, etc.) is more the fashion. Bach didn’t write for the modern piano, although his music sounds pretty good on it.
- mastazi 6y agoBach wrote for “Klavier” which is a generic definition that may or may not include the piano. We know that early in his life he hated pianos, but later on he changed his mind and even started selling them (he worked as an agent for a piano maker). So, at least for his later works, we could argue that indeed he did write for piano.
- libraryofbabel 6y ago> “didn’t write for the modern piano” I think we actually agree :)
