This is the “Switched On Bach” version and it isn’t on YouTube by Carlos. Is there another site such as YouTube where I might find it? It doesn’t matter how it is shown , (still picture, or it being played). I just need it by Carlos so I can link to it.

Thanks

Quasi

It’s my favorite Bach piece by Carlos, and it’s on _Switched on Bach II_ I don’t know where it is for free, but you can buy it at plenty of sites:

> **[Switched-On Bach II — Wendy Carlos | Last.fm](https://www.last.fm/music/Wendy+Carlos/Switched-On+Bach+II)**
>
> Listen free to Wendy Carlos – Switched-On Bach II (Badinerie, Minuet and more). 13 tracks (33:15). Discover more music, concerts, videos, and pictures with the largest catalogue online at Last.fm.

Here it is on a synthesizer, but I don’t think it’s Carlos:

Yeah **Cal** , those are the ones I found too and I may wind up using them. I need it to provide a musical example of a fugue, and I wanted to make it entertaining and I just like Carlos’ version the best. 🙂

Thanks, guys.

**Cal** ,

To me, you’ve _always_ been plural.🙂 There’s no way one of you could carry all that intelligence in one brain!

Can I kiss ass or what?
