Busoni/Bach: Chaconne

Busoni's piano transcription on Bach's Chaconne, from Partita II In D Minor For Vn, BWV1004.

Brahm's also wrote a left-hand piano transcription of this piece. In a letter to Clara Schumann, he wrote:

On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind.
