picking a bach prelude/fugue (i have limited my choice!)

on: June 06, 2006, 07:40:30 AM

have just played the C# major one from book I, and now want to venture into book II. my other new repertoire are in major keys so i'm going for a minor key, limited myself down to D#, E, F, F# and G# minor. I'm thinking maybe the G# minor, i like that one. but if anyone can give me a hint of difficulty levels, i don't want to be going over or totally under my abilities...just tell me if any of them are ridiculously easy or difficult (according to my standard, for the record i've also just played the debussy toccata, haydn sonata hobXVI:52, etc). thanks!!

I think all your choices are terrific! (I love book II.) If you've done the Haydn and Debussy, then I don't see any of them being of particular difficulty technically. Have fun. I always love starting a new piece.
