Bach on a Bandoneon

backdraft's picture

Bach Toccata and Fugue bwv 565 in d minor.

bandoneon button produces different notes on the push and the pull. This means that each keyboard has two layouts: one for opening notes, and one for closing notes. Since the right and left hand layouts are also different, the bandoneon player is faced with learning four completely different keyboard layouts. These keyboard layouts are not structured to make it easy to play scale passages of single notes.

 

Meaning fucking hard to play
