Bach: Prelude in B minor, BWV 855a (Arr. by Alexander Siloti) Reworked
Today’s upload features the reworked version from last Friday’s release — a four-track piano EP centered around the Prelude in B minor by J.S. Bach, as transcribed by Alexander Siloti. This beloved miniature — originally from Bach’s Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and later adapted for The Well-Tempered Clavier — has inspired generations of pianists.

This Prelude in B minor was originally composed by Johann Sebastian Bach as part of the Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, catalogued as BWV 855a. The version most familiar to modern audiences, however, is a romantic piano arrangement made by pianist and conductor Alexander Siloti, a student of Franz Liszt.
Siloti transposed the piece from E minor to B minor and made subtle yet expressive changes in voicing and texture, bringing out its lyrical and meditative qualities. The sustained left-hand arpeggios and delicate right-hand melody reflect a more introspective and romantic character, while still preserving the essence of Bach’s original writing.
This version has become one of the most beloved transcriptions of a Baroque work, often performed as an encore piece for its emotional depth, simplicity, and timeless beauty.

One of the compositions I uploaded yesterday. I heard something very folkloric in it, and I couldnt resist slightly modifying the original. So here we go: North Way is a solo piano composition by Norwegian composer and pianist Otto A. Totland. It is featured on his debut album, Pinô, released on January 31, 2014. The piece exemplifies Totlands minimalist and emotive style, characterized by delicate melodies and intimate atmospheres. The album was recorded on Nils Frahms piano, capturing a warm and nuanced sound.
**Otto Andreas Totland (born in Porsgrunn, Norway 1979) is a Norwegian self-taught pianist and electronic musician also performing under the Nest moniker or as half of the Deaf Center electronic duo with Erik K Skodvin.
