 J.S. Bach's Prelude & Fugue I BWV 846 in C Major - request for Score & guidance

Re: J.S. Bach's Prelude & Fugue I BWV 846 in C Major - request for Score
Dear All,
Hello.
I am new on the piano and (also seeking to learn the b flat trumpet) wondering if anyone might want to help on the aspects related to piano and music theory, per chance? I would be most grateful for your thoughts on the following:
1. I am seeking the music score for the above mentioned piece by Bach and cannot find it anywhere on this site. I am only a silver member, and cannot justify getting a gold membership. Would anyone be able to help?
2. I am new on learning music theory, and have commenced on a beginner's piano course, which comprises of a block of ten lessons, that's all. Book prescribed is : The Classic Piano Course Book1: Starting to Play, by Carol Barratt. And want to be able to learn more at a deeper level and hope to continue to do so, but have become extremely frustrated at the scope of the lectures already, as it does not cover off the music theory and essentials. Hence, I have embarked on making a discovery on topics related to major and minor scales and music theory. Topics such as: Cycle of fifths (which I am struggling on and would greatly appreaciate some help on assisting me to grasp the concepts and the system).
Basically, I have commenced on reading the following text: The AB Guide to Music Theory Part1 by Eric Taylor, ABRSM.
3. Also struggling on the follwoing topics: Tonics and Triads, Key Signatures; Name of scale degrees.
I look forward to hearing from you. If you have any scores and soft copies of materials, then my address is :neeraj64@hotmail.com
Thanking you in advance.
Kind regards,
neeraj

Prelude in C Major, Bach
November 23, 2009, 10:03:08 PM by superdominus

I have just recently started practicing the prelude in C major from book I of the WTC. There's a footnote in my book about a measure that may be omitted. Its authenticity has not been verified. I'm sure you guys know which measure this is. I'm not sure whether should I play this measure or not. My teacher told me to play the measure. However, I don't want to play it if Bach didn't wrote it down, and in my opinion, omitting this measure makes that part more dramatic.
I am eager to hear your opinions on this measure. Do you play it or leave it out?

Bach BWV 846 (Fugue in C major) comment please!
August 20, 2008, 08:33:12 PM by lelle

Hello there!
My name is Leo, and I am 15 years old.
I looooove playing Bach, his WTC fugues are really fun to play. It's so fun that I sometimes can sit down with a fugue that I am not really practising, and play it badly, but still love it. They are so amazing to just sit and watch, and when YOU are behind the keys and play, it is wonderful no matter how godawfully bad you actually play (for me it feels like that at least).
However I have picked a number of fugues that I am gonna really work on until I play them well. It is the C major, C minor, C# minor, d minor (maybe D major also, havent decided), maybe Eb major, F# major, g minor, G# minor, maybe a minor though it is almost too difficult, and maybe also the h minor Fugue. (I would love to play Bb major also, but it feels too difficult. Same applies to C# major).
I would be happy if someone could watch my performance (though the sound isnt very good) and tell me what I need to work the most on, and also what is good since only negative feedback wont do any good except putting me off from playing the piece.
Since I did the recording 4 hours ago I have already spotted thousands of unforgivable errors but I want to hear your opinion also. Despite the most apparent one, hitting the wrong key at a place, I sometimes feel that I am not bringing out some voices as much as I should and want sometimes. The tempo is also waving around a bit, since I am pretty tired of playing the piece today (I played it 15 times and recorded it but there always was some error, this one has the least errors except the waving tempo WHY CANT I EVER RECORD SOMETHING WITHOUT ERRORS???++ sigh). There is also some lol background noises from my family at the end... well well...
I am playing from the notes since I don't know the piece by heart yet.
Well here is a link to the C major fugue played by me at youtube anyway:
I repeat:
I would be happy if someone could watch my performance (though the sound isnt very good) and tell me what I need to work the most on, and also what is good since only negative feedback wont do any good except putting me off from playing the piece

Pedaling and Bach prelude in C
October 12, 2007, 07:47:29 PM by sewillis

I am very much a beginner at piano and was wondering how to use the pedal when playing the Bach Prelude in C. The music I've seen of it never has pedal markings. I tend to have the pedal down through the whole piece (at least as much as I can play so far). But that seems to be a bit too much. Unless I am just playing to loud and too slow. I could play quieter, but I'm not ready to be able to play much faster yet. Any thoughts?

Bach Prelude in C Major WTC I on Bechstein No. 5796
July 29, 2007, 02:29:23 AM by iumonito
|
You know how you take before and after pictures?
This is the "before" for my new Bechstein. New to me. The piano is from the 1870s.
It is set to arrive next Friday. After it settles and gets tunned I'll post an "after" recording of the same piece on this same thread. I have no plans to do a full rebuild at this time, but my heroes at Pianocraft are fixing it up a little bit for me anyway. This is why I like them so much and will never buy a piano from anyone else: they just can't let a bad piano leave their shop.
Enjoy.

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
