Chaconne, this piece has been hailed as one of the most profound melodies ever written on the history of classical music. The soaring melodies and the lamentation-like melodic pattern of this particular work of art is comparable the so-called phantasmagoric pathos. Thank God, there is such music like this, which for my own very words, has been composed by the union of human virtuosity and divine gift...... I'm learning this piece. It was a very emotional experience bringing me into tears the first time I heard it-- such an amazing piece! But Busoni's version has unbelievable hand stretches. At least an 11th is required but even greater stretches are there. I would recommend playing it on an extended Bosendorfer or Steinway grand piano as the ending only logically proceeds into sub-bass territory.

Can you point me to the link to your Bach favorites? It will be my great honorable chance to share your treasure.

Hilary's version is not really 悲凉, however some melancholy, little solitude, and more internally strengthened.

Perlman's version is too pathetique.
