Many prefer Ferruccio Busoni's arpeggio-less trans
Many prefer Ferruccio Busoni's arpeggio-less transcription of this piece to the comparably popular one by Carl Tausig. Different theories posit that this piece was originally written for unaccompanied violin and that its unusual features owe to the limitations of an instrument the composer had to work with in Anhalt-Cothen. A different piece with the same name, key, and composer as this one is nicknamed the "Dorian." This piece begins with a mordant A in both hands, followed by a rapid descending G-F-E-D-C sharp, then D. The contrapuntal second title portion of this D minor piece is interspersed with the more virtuosic style of the first title section. For 10 points, name this spooky organ piece composed by J.S. Bach.
