Good stuff though. How long have you been playing? How long for each of these pieces?
Hi piano,I liked them very much! You have a nice touch for Bach, and your piano complements it well. I would like to hear no 8 a little more "dancing" and a bit less serious. I play no 1 faster myself, but I like your interpretation!Great work!Teresa
Bach to basic, very good piano playing, BTW do you play Invention 13 in A minor, it sounds a lot like a prelude.
very niceley played but a question that bothers me is the fact that you play the trill in the 2nd in at least in opinion to slow and then the trill in the 3d bar is played swiftly and accurately but oh well its your interpretation! ^^
hehe the 13th invention was a bit to fast for my taste but all this aside nicely played ;dyou seem to be in a rush playing that invention did you play the inventions on a digital piano or on a acoustic ? just curious
Good work, you really have done well to learn this collection. You definately have all the notes easily controlled under your hand. Personally I like to play these Inventions and indeed teach it to be played with dynamics, since afterall we are playing on the modern piano not a harpichord or clavichord anymore. I find on the piano we really can contrast legato, tenuto, accents, staccato, the four major touches Bach uses. The more we contrast these sounds in my opinion the better Bach sounds for the modern piano. If we have semi-quavers against quavers, like in the no 13, the quavers should take on a staccato qualitiy where the semi-quavers legato. This is a standard interpretation of Bach. Also understanding how we use climaxes in the pieces, and where to increase our volume to a max point when we reach these places are so important, when to over do it and when to be meek.There is a split in the music world on how Bach should be played on the modern piano. There are those who like the piano to emulate the old keyboards and then there are those who want to hear Bach played with the capabilities of a modern piano. I strongly believe we should be able to play both ways, and I think it is far more challenging to play Bach pianistically rather than traditionally, a lot more applicable to our overall PIANO playing too.
Very well done, piano121. It's hard to argue with any of this. I have yet to get the accuracy in Number 8 that you have achieved.One question-- the interpretation of Number 1 seems stylistically different from the others, with considerably more rubato. Is there a reason for this? Just wondering.
