The figure of JS Bach and his influence has meant in the musical culture is not necessary to explain or expand on it. I intend to share in this article reflects on a keyboard piece for his extensive catalog, perhaps for many it is well known. The remarkable part is the Toccata in C minor BWV 911. Bach's early work with six other toccatas, made from 25 or 26 years. The young composer and therefore immature Bach decided to use the figure of the toccata, to develop this musical gem. As the toccata a free form would include movements and escaped, and the freedom to develop in the part, improvised character sections. In these seven young Bach toccatas unleashes his genius greater emphasis on instrumental virtuosity and counterpoint in his keyboard works.
The interpretation of this Toccata in C minor BWV 911 piece overpowers me by his great lightness and strong melody without losing the rigor to which Bach imposed upon all his works.
