BWV 1064

It's so straightforward, no real surprises, not a lot of creative rhythmic stuff going on, just some nice virtuosoing. But damn! I almost started crying listening to it: it's just joyful, it's just dancing, it's just playful, it's just showing off what violins are able to do when they've got a nice foundation to go and do all kinds of beautiful flourishes on. It's so simple, my goodness.

(I'm talking about the Allegros, in case that's not clear.)

It's really hard to gush about Baroque music without feeling like a pretentious prick. Damn though! Nothing should make my insides feel this good!

It doesn´t make you pretentious, it makes you a dork.
