maybe you actually learned a bit during the past two years?

I read somewhere that the WTC was considered the foundation of musical education for pianists for a long time -- Mozart for one knew it well. This was at a time when the general public wasn't into Bach that much. So your teacher is a throwback to an old tradition. Glad to hear you're enjoying it, I never get tired of it.
