I listened to Bach for hours last night, picking and choosing my favorites from the violin concertos, the Brandenburg concertos, the violin sonatas, the cello suites, and the cantatas. When I retired for the evening, my wife, who'd been upstairs working on the computer, told me she'd enjoyed listening very much. And this morning she asked for more. "What was that Bach you were listening to last night? I want to hear it again." There was a lot to choose from but I was pretty certain she wanted to hear this, the first movement from the 3rd Brandenburg. When it was over she said, "I think that was the beginning of rock and roll." Which made me laugh but you can see her point - if this doesn't make you move not much will. I'd always considered Beethoven the first rocker but maybe Bach had him beat by eighty years or so. Enjoy:
