The Turkish pianist and composer Fazil Say has from the age of sic begun each day with the performance of a keyboard work by Bach, his concert programmes include both numerous original compositions and transcriptions. His own piano transcription ofthe well -known Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor is neither a mere incorporation of the pedal voice with its almost continous ostinato theme into the left hand of the piano part, nor a purely virtuoso ornamentation of the original version. Hisintention is to produce an imaginative transcription of the relatively two -dimensional organ registration utilising the tonal possibilities of the piano.
