I dont like to say anything negative about anyones piano playing, but you turnd a perfecly good  prelude into something not so good,and am being polite. Maybe you dont like the prelude and you wont to get to te end as soon as possible. The fugue i can only describe as the worst attack on Bach,ever. You must remember it is music, though i dont like the WTK this prelude and fugue along with one other is my vave.
         Its sad because i heard you play Ravel first and i thought ah vey nice.

I'm not familiar with this prelude and fugue, but I'm almost certain this is not Bach.  If I heard this without knowing the title and composer, I would never guess Bach, rather it sounds like a frenzied improvisation.

Really, this sort of trash is unacceptable!  I'm not sure if you really played this, or if you used a program to speed it up.  Either way, it doesn't matter.  By playing like this, you are seriously going to ruin whatever piano technique you already have.

I have nothing to say, other than I did not enjoy this - it was bad, real bad.

      Yes it is Bach, and trust me if playd well its magic. Am only gessing but i think he/she playing this is very young. He/she might have heard Glen Gould or something.

trust me, it is a completely authentic performance

[bananafish]

Wow, I'm stunned. You must be kidding, I mean, this is a joke, right? Identify the voices, play it clearly, and not too fast. Give the piece some life; your playing as it is now, is strictly a monotone machinegun. Give it a shot again, will you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Tell me please... Were you really that drunk? Or is your playing really that bad?

I dont understand... Ondine was good. This is not Bach.

you only wish you had his technique

[arensky]

I was not aware that J.S. Bach was a 1920's silent movie pianist on methamphetamine and crack. Well, here's the proof; guess you learn something new every day...

What the *** is this?? 

[jlh]

What the flying ***k is this crap?  I play this P&F and I had trouble even recognizing it.

Whoever you are that posted this heaping pile of jumbled notes -- or whatever they were, please don't do it again.  You're wasting our time and wasting the space on this server. 

Obviously you sped up a recording, but it would've been tolerable if the recording you tampered with had a shred of musicality, heck I would've settled for correct notes...

Bottom line ----> 
this recording = not funny
this recording = bad
this recording = pain to the ears

edit: this definitely sets many records, the least of them being it has already been downloaded 889 times in just 4 days.

it isn't sped up and it is funny

[nortti]

I see my recording is dividing the audience. Many genius things have done that
The only thing I'd like to make clear is that this is my very own playing, and it's not modified in any way. It's quite cool to see how many times it's been downloaded. Maybe that happened because the file is quite small

[Teddybear]

BUAHAHHAHAA!

Oh my God.

Aaagh. Hahaha. I've played this piece a couple of years ago. This recording pretty much describes my feelings about learning Bach pieces.

[nortti]

I just noticed this topic only has some 300 views, yet the file has been downloaded for more than 900 times...

Too bad there's no bigger grin in the smiley repertoire

[Nightscape]

I wonder if it's some sort of bug?  I noticed that it had been downloaded amost 700 times only a few hours after you posted it, whereas your ravel had only been downloaded 15 times.   Who would want to listen Bach that much more than Ravel?

[nortti]

Maybe people are streaming it.. and when it's over they're just like "what? What was that?" and then they have to re-play it. (And their players can't do caching.. )
