“It's a sad peacefulness that sometimes we all need. When we need to take a breath — just before starting something new.” WQXR's Jacqui Cheng talks about her journey in finding the Adagio movement from J.S. Bach's Violin Sonata No. 1. Her interest in Bach started with the soundtrack to the Atari 2600 game “Gyruss” (which included 8-bit snippets of Bach's Fugue in D Minor), and led her to the public library, where she found emotional comfort in Bach's resolution of dissonances.
