Prelude&Fugue No.17, WTC II -- Bach
on: December 02, 2007, 02:07:47 AM
Yep, first Prelude and Fugue I've ever done by Bach (and besides analyzing a couple of the Two-part Inventions, the first Bach piece I've played, period).  I don't think my current instructor was very impressed when she learned that I had no background in Bach... I must say, though I'd heard of the difficulties in learning/memorizing these works, I was certainly suprised when it actually came time for me to start work on it. 
Please leave your opinions; I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts on how to improve this.

Cool.  You're a great bach person.  I loved it!  I think you're amazing here.  Hope all goes well in this for juries as you are sure to stun your audience since you say that this is one of your first preludes and fugues.  REally good job!

Thank you Pianistimo! 

I was a bit nervous posting this, as I felt a little blind with how to interpret it (thankfully my instructor had a lot of ideas to help me along), and there seems to be a lot of vastly differing ideas on how Bach should be played. 

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
