Presenting ... my ghetto rendition of the BWV 864. Please excuse the picking of the nose after the Prelude.

Sorry for the mix-up. I had the video as 'private' - it is 'public' now.

Hi cygnusdei,
Excellent! You play this with fine clarity of articulation and voicing of lines, using differentiated touch, showing good fluidity and rhythmic precision, while exercising good taste in pedaling suitable to Baroque music. You also blend all the ornamentation in very well. Super.
I was curious about the piano, but could not decide from the video. Can you shed light on that too? Thanks.

dear cygnusdei, i can't help but want to use your playing as a good example for that thread about curved vs. naturally curved (flatter) hands. i consider personally your hand position very advantageous to sound - and the sound which you are getting is really very good. especially like your bass above many others - because there is no 'pounding' to it. it's really in good taste. and, wow, you have good dexterity.
now, question really - for you - do you find the only thing about flatter hands is that when you come to a trill - it's really more advantageous to use more curved fingers at that point only? the reason is - when you trill between a long finger and short - there is a discrepancy of eveness that isn't there when you make them both the same length by curved fingers.

Thank you rachfan and pianistimo for the kind words and encouragement. That was a grand piano completely closed, in a practice room. As for the hand position - that's interesting because it's not a conscious process for me. For trills though, I can see that with curved position your fingers are posed to strike from the top (perpendicular to the keys).
