This is a collection of Baroque masterworks and lesser known musical treasures, both original and transcribed by the performer. Woven together, these Baroque Beads form a varied tapestry conveying the rich musical heritage of Bach and his contemporaries, upon whose language Spohr later wrote his Fantasia for Harp in C minor in the following early Romantic era.
