which bach piece?

[imbetter]

Hello, this issue has been bugging me for a while and I decided to start doing somthing about it.

My repertoire has barely any baroque music exept for a bach invention, a bach prelude, and a handel piece. I decided to learn a few bach pieces. Which ones should I learn? I was thinking perhaps some inventions, or preludes and fugues. Tell me what you think.

  choose whatever piece you want to learn.

Make a piano transcription of a prelude and fugue for one hand only, then learn to play it blindfolded with your right hand tied behind your back.

Weren't you learning apassionata, waldstein and Mossgory's "Pictures at an exbidition"?
Don't know where you find the time...

PS: Just been to the "what are you learning" thread, apparently you are also learning schuber impromptu, Liszt HR2 and TE11, Chopin sonata no2 and aiming for Bach's Goldburgs, Liszt's HR12 and Chopin's entire selection of preludes. All this since december 22, you seeem to be rather buissy....
I would suggest you take some time off before you have a nervous breakdown.

Good idea. I'm only learning all these pieces so I have things to keep me buissy for a while. That's pretty much it. But I should probaly come some things out. I really want to learn some Bach preludes and fuges. Me, my piano teacher, and his best student are playing Bach's Concerto Italiana for his big recitle he has every year. I have 6 months to learn my part (I'm playing part no. II). So I was concidering cutting some of these out so I could really learn my part.

I'm sure fans at your church recital will be largely disappointed not to hear Beethoven and Mossgory, maybe you could replace them with a a few prelude and fuges.
Or better yet, play Liszt's Rhapsody no2, I always wanted to hear that in a church...

I already learned the beethoven and mossgorsky. I could take out one of the sonata's and replace it with a few preludes and fuges though

Or better yet, I could take out a beethoven and put in a few preludes and fuges with the liszt rhapsody
