My dad feels Bach created the epitome of musical compositions, Pomegrant. He adores Bach! So, I grew up listening to my dad practicing various Bach piano pieces, which aren't so easy to play, are they, since your left hand isn't just providing accompaniment for the right hand!

Since I'm not a proficient piano player, the only Bach song I can sightread and play...but luckily also one of my favorites...is Prelude 1 in C Major:

Spoiler for Bach's Prelude in C Major:
And here is what I WISH I could play, but I just don't think it sounds as nice on the violin!!
Spoiler for Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite #1--Ahhh :) :
