The article comments on the newest recording J.S. Bach. The newest recording of Bach's great Passacaglia for organ provides another Carl Weinrich plays the work straightforwardly on the organ of Princeton University Chapel and it must be the acoustic defects of the chapel that cause the opening statement of the theme to come off the record with a counter point not written by Bach, and his own lines of counterpoint often not to be clear in the variations and fugue. The first piece is one of the matured Bach's exercises of prodigious technique with no interesting musical results, the second, which he wrote at the age of seventeen, is engaging, with a remarkable and moving chromatic slow variation.
