Hello Greg. Wonderful pieces you have written! I could just hear Bach in your playing. They have so much detail and I look foward to hearing more from you. I could see myself learning one or more in the future. Hey, maybe if I am not doing anything over the weekend I'll sit down and learn one! Now I should listen to all of them and see which one is my favorite.

Keep up the great work.

- Natalie

Thank You, Natalie, for good words about my work.
I'll be grateful if you'd like to play something - of course let me know about it :)

Really great pieces , it is very difficult to compose fugues in the style of Bach and do it well.  :)

Some of these are pretty *** good. Holy sh*t man. Pretty awesome. Hopefully in the near future you'll develop your own polyphonic style.

I sure wish I could hear you play these yourself! The computer gets the ornamentation all wrong, and doesn't play with much depth of feeling  :(

I know this... When I'll finish my "24 project", I'll try for a good pianist :)

Very ambitious to challenge old JSB on his home ground ! But you seem to be doing pretty well.
Your latest fugue is really impressive. I like it far more than the Prelude, which is ingenious but
seems a bit meandering and slightly too long for its content. It's to be hoped you will find a good pianist to make a case for the complete set eventually.
