Belated Best Wishes 2 Bach

Yesterday we celebrated the birth of Haydn.  Yesterday is also recognized generally at the birthday of Johann Sebastian Bach, although some say he was born as early as the 21st.  So today we extend our Best though Belated Wishes to Herr Bach with a bit of beautiful Bach that is seldom heard.  A popular instrument in Bach's time was the Clavichord, a European stringed keyboard instrument known from the late Medieval, through the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras. Historically, it was mostly used as a practice instrument and as an aid to composition, not being loud enough for larger performances.  

Bach wrote several pieces of music for the Clavichord which were quite popular but somewhat lost in time now days.  Christopher Hogwood recorded some of these in a CD entitled The Secret JS Bach which I have posted for you down below.   The play list includes the Chromatic Fantasia And Fugue ('Rust' Version BWV 903A),  Adagio In G Major (BWV 968), Fugue In G Minor (After BWV 1000), Allemande In G Minor (BWV 836), Menuet 1 (BWV 841), Menuet 3 (BWV 843), Partite Diverse Sopra Il Corale O Gott, Du Frommer Gott (BWV 767),  Partita In A Minor (After BWV 1004, Arr. Mortensen) Allemanda, Partita In A Minor (After BWV 1004, Arr. Mortensen) Corrente, Partita In A Minor (After BWV 1004, Arr. Mortensen) Sarabanda, Partita In A Minor (After BWV 1004, Arr. Mortensen) Giga and Partita In A Minor (After BWV 1004, Arr. Mortensen) Ciaccon. Additional celebratory music may be heard over on my tumblr with Ashley Solomon and Terry Charlston performing Volume 1 of Bach's Flute and Keyboard Sonatas. 

Then what would Wednesday be without a little wild wetness or sexy splashing to sear our senses with as we cruise down the page taking in this edition of Wet Wednesday (or just staring mesmerized by one photo or another).  There is also the Sexy Skinny Dipper Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr worthy of your adoring gaze.  Thanks for the visit, see you again soon.  Although not tomorrow as my day is already jam packed so I will be back on Friday!  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
