Virtuosic.
And the pinned comment is Lopes pointing out the one mistake he made!

If you do want a combination of a song about potatoes and the music of Bach, here it is.
It's by Dan Arthurs and I first heard it on Schickele Mix, the episode "Bach of Gibraltar", (and was waiting for the right potato thread to post it in.)

Absolutely brilliant to see this posted here. I began practicing this wonderful homage in the pandemic summer of 2020, and just today leveled up to measure 56 — about half-way through? ... There's so much I've gotten to experience, and so much yet to look forward to, all contained within this beautiful labor of notes & grace of performance. Thanks for posting!

Nice. This may finally displace my long-time fave transcription of this piece, performed by a dulcimer duo at a Renn Faire.

Nice :)
Recently discovered Alan Mearns album of Bach on solo guitar. It opens with a very good transcription and performance of the Prelude in Cm from book 1 of the WTC.

The man is terrifyingly good, and that was really excellent to watch.
In a similar-but-slightly-different vein, if you'd like to see the same piece done in a kind of Close Encounters of the Third Kind-esque bar graph score style, check this out. It really gives you a feel for how Bach structured it.
