Friedrich Gulda - Prelude and Fugue
Friedrich Gulda, pianoThe Austrian classical and jazz pianist Friedrich Gulda (1930 - 2000) was born 81 years ago on this day, May 16. A vibrant and eclectic figure, he earned accolades as one of the premier musical talents and authorities of his generation—with his work in Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven especially—but was also something of an outcast from the Viennese establishment because of his forays into jazz and popular music, which brought him into collaboration with figures like Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea. Among his most celebrated pupils are pianist Martha Argerich and conductor Claudio Abbado.

The fugue is definitely more interesting than the prelude. Cool!
