Came across this fragment of a painting. Does anyone know the name or have a link to the full painting? The text on the sheet music says Canontriplex ā CV per J.S. Bach

How many of you here have learned all of the Goldberg Variations?

How long have you worked on them? What was the most challenging variation?

I’ve been working on them 3/4 of a year. The second half is something else. Taking me forever.

What is the correct name of the aria?

I‘m going to perform Bach’s Großer Herr, O/und Starker König soon. However, I can never seem to search its correct name on the internet. Is it “Großer Herr, O Starker König”, or “Großer Herr und Starker König”?

Any posts like Fugue in G minor (little fugue)

I love Bach, and I’ve skimmed through a few of his organ works, but I just love the little fugue. Is there anything like it. The way the melody repeats and gets lower and thickens and the trills. And it develops. Turns major then goes back to minor. A simple melody just getting more and more complex. Sorry if I’m not expressing it well, I’m not that versed in music. Thank you

Full St. Matthew Passion recording which sounds like this?

This is easily my favorite interpretation of the final chorus - from Sir Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. However this recording is only Arias and Choruses. Does anyone know another recording of the full work which closely resembles this?

Looking to buy Matthaus-Passion on vinyl. I prefer to check out the records digital before buying, but can't find this one. Does anyone here know this one by Hans Swarowsky is any good?

My crush dislikes Bach. What should I do?

So here’s my dilemma: my crush is amazing—she loves classical music, plays the piano, and has fantastic taste… except when it comes to Bach. She’s really into Chopin (which, of course, I understand—who doesn’t love Chopin?), but when it comes to Bach, she just doesn’t connect with his music. Is it possible to live with someone who doesn't like Bach?

I’m not saying this is a dealbreaker (okay, maybe I am), but what would you guys do? How do I show someone the beauty, truth, depth in Bach? The sheer complexity AND emotions. How can I kindle a love for this music in her?

Manipulation is wrong, but maybe in this case the end justifies the means?

Brandenburg Concerto No.3 Movement 2 Harpsichord Solo?

I've been listening to Bach's Brandenburg Concertos conducted by Karl Richter. When I was listening to Bach's 3rd Branndenburg Concerto, I noticed that Richter made a harpsichord solo. I ask if there is a sheet with this solo if there is, I want to know where to find it. Thanks.

Here is the recording for reference.
