I conducted this work when I was in college. What a terrific composer!

A professor of mine once said that the reason Bach wrote so much music was because there wasn't very much available! He had to write a cantata every week because he couldn't buy existing compositions for his church. He had to write the keyboard works for his students, particularly the Two and Three Part Inventions.

Have a good weekend, elleng.
