Wow, just wow. Impressive keyboarding skills. 5 tiers of keys, your instrument is the damn hall… no pressure at all. And I still get timid while playing the piano..:/
Masterful work by Sara Svendsen. Enjoy!

One of our authors in residence just happens to by a huge bat-fan. So, a big hat tip to the Piano Guys for making Mystro’s day. :)
Rich Terfry explores some similar sounding tunes in this clip.
The original orchestral suite was generally believed to have been written by Bach for his patron Prince Leopold of Anhalt some time between the years 1717 and 1723. However, the oldest surviving score is later, dating from Bach’s time in Leipzig. Current thinking is that the suite may well have been written in that city for performance by the collegium musicum.[1]
The title comes from violinist August Wilhelmj’s late 19th century arrangement of the piece for violin and piano. By transposing the key of the piece from its original D major to C major and transposing the melody down an octave, Wilhelmj was able to play the piece on only one string of his violin, the G string.
Later, a spurious story was put about that the melody was always intended to be played on the G string alone.
I’m not sure I should be happy or sad that I don’t recognize most of the clips. :)
