The Well Tempered Claviercord
on: June 20, 2004, 08:09:36 PM
Can someone suggest to me a piece to play from this publication.  Im not the biggest fan of Bach but feel I should make an effort....

I was also wondering which of Chopins Polanaises are least difficult, and what people think of his Rondos?

Thanks for any comments

JK

In my opinion book 2 is the better of the Well-Tempered Clavier.  The F minor prelude is pretty nice and has a good fugue.

As for polonaises I've worked on the C minor and Eb minor aren't as hard as some of the others.

Although there are probably easier ones I don't think they'd sound as good.

WTC Book 1, prelude #12 in F minor is a good one.
