J. Lee Graham Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Interesting. It would have been more so if the expert commentary in German had been provided with subtitles. Bachdigital.org doesn't exist anymore, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemc90 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 yeah i was looking for the site too, maybe it's belongs to another organization now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majesty Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yes, subtitles would have been nice. I didn't check the Bachdigital.org but if I remember correctly I think they listed a couple other sites that house the scores. I'll watch again to make sure. When I was watching the documentary I was astounded at the fact that Bach in all his genius and temper had no idea that he and his music would eventually hold such a valuable place in classical music...very touching if u ask me.

SSC Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I can translate a little of the overall ideas the german dudes talk about, but first I probably need to finish watching it, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Y'all should try bachdigital.de, instead of .org. I got there, but there are only a few samples and such. EDIT: My German is slacking. I couldn't follow the German speech very well. I got the gist, but not much more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Mikas Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 *bump* Because Bach rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majesty Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 How would he have possibly known that? My point was that throughout history there were composers who knew that their works would make an impact even in death. CPE Bach once wrote about a sacred piece of his that "it would secure his name". You don't ever read things like about Bach but you do about other composers. That was the point I was making.
