Here’s Jascha Heifetz as an old man, playing a bit of Bach on the telly (1971):
The piece (Violin Partita No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004: V. “Chaconne”) was written by J.S. Bach at the height of his creative powers, after arriving home from a big work trip to discover that his wife was dead, and had been for a month. She was fit and healthy when he left, so it came as quite a shock.
