"You must have made an error, it's in C major". Hah, I transposed it! I quite like it this way, don't you? You could listen to a million professionals play it normal, but only I do it this way =P. For those without the musical background, Bach wrote a piano prelude in every key, and this is the first, originally in C major. Also notable they had no piano pedal in Bach's time, nor varying dynamics for the most part. Anyway, not bad to start off my live performances with a prelude, n'est-ce pas? Hope you enjoy it ^^
So here's how this'll work: For my Monday submissions I'll submit live performances, and on Thursdays I'll have my compositions/arrangements. If one is particularly extensive, the other for that week will be probably short to contrast it.
This and all my recordings were recorded at my church on their piano, which is one of the best in the world (I forget the brand name, it's not a Steinway).

I could have, though I wanted to transpose it with a systematic method without exception, and how I did it was to make the B, E, and A flats of course, but then any time there was already a flat in place on those notes as an accidental, I made it a double flat. Therefore then, there would be no way to get a B natural unless he had written a C flat in the original. I appreciate the input though, I might try it your way next time I practice =)
The trouble is that when converting to a minor mode you have to remember that you can't just push everything down by a third, since you'd actually just be going to the aeolian mode, but in the minor mode you have the harmonic minor (where the B is natural in the case of C minor, but you can alternate with the natural minor for variety) and the melodic minor (where both A and B are natural whilst there is upward movement and flat during downward movement). So going from major to minor needs a musical approach more than a systematic one! But you did it well enough, and it sounds nice, I'm just saying that when transforming something into a minor mode is slightly more complex. Well, keep it up!
I've since updated the arrangement with the melodic minor, though I haven't had any chance to record it. I'll see if I can do it this summer. I'm no classical pianist anyway, just an amateur, but I could certainly give his C minor prelude a shot ^^. I'm more a composer you see, and of a more modern style at that, though if you have any interest, you might check out my piano sonatas 2 and 3.
