Daily Bach
@dailybach
Follow me for short excursions back into time with a daily dose of the father of (classical) music, J.S. Bach. Every day a random BWV# is chosen, some will be familiar, some need a good dusting, short and long, sacred and secular. But all will be Bach!
Reporting live from Leipzig today, have a wonderful day and don't forget to listen to Bach 🎻
