Description
The pianist Myra Hess (1890–1965) became indelibly associated with Bach after she began playing ‘Jesu, joy’ by ear in 1920. Her arrangement of the Adagio (offprinted here from OUP’s Bach Transcriptions for Piano) from the Toccata, Adagio, and Fugue BWV 564 provides a range of pianistic but highly rewarding challenges.
