In Makota Nakura's booklet notes, he says the following: "Bach's music is the highest mountain for all musicians to climb. Even though Bach didn't write any pieces for marimba, I haven't spent a single day without playing his music from my own transcriptions of Bach's works for organ, violin, cello, flute, lute and keyboard. The reason I want to play Bach on the marimba comes to this — I would like people to listen to the music I am playing rather than to what instrument I am playing."
