Ave Maria - Bach/Gounod Arabesque Song without Words (Venetian GondolaGounod had no qualms about arranging well known works by earlier masters after his own fashion. Thus in 1852 he added a melody with its own operatic climax to the famous arpeggios of the C major Prelude BWV 846 from Bachs Well Tempered Clavier.
