Bach!
on: October 12, 2011, 04:18:54 PM
Any Bach piano pieces i could learn like the Contrapunctus No.1 , that one is very beautiful.
They may not be too hard , rather easy. And with the "Easy" term i don't mean "Easy" too master but easy generally to learn and play without too much efforts. Thanks!

The Prelude No. 1 in C Major from the first book of the Well-Tempered Clavier is quite easy and fun for an easy Bach piece, albeit rather repetitive.

You could try Invention No. 1 in C Major and Invention No. 2 in C Minor, too.  I prefer the C Minor but both seem to be about the same level as the Contrapunctus 1...

I would also consider Sinfonia No 6 in E major, also the 2nd movement of the Italian Concerto
(I find them both to be compelling and beautiful even when played very slowly during the learning phase)
