Johann Sebastian Bach Thoughts on Pipe Smoking

[sablebrush52]

Liszt gay? Not to my knowledge. Satyriasis more likely. His daughter married Wagner.

Poet or not JS Bach is the creator of some of the finest music to smoke a pipe to. The Brandenburg Concertos in the garden on a warm summer evening.

Amen. Spent much of my Eastman education crawling around the intricacies of that genius mind.....

Hey folk, I noticed that no one has bothered to post the actual Bach aria. It's from the Anna Magdalena Songbook, BWV 515a.

Here's an interesting performance by Klaus Mertens, baritone, and Ton Koopman, harpsichord.
