How do you find the Bach Toccata so far? I'm just working now on the first two pages, and starting to have a go at the fugue. It's such a good piece!!
What are you practicing on the piano for the time?Im trying to get the Contrapunctus No.1 from Bach to sound good. What about you guys?
My signature My next repertoire will be made entirely of Brazilian composers, such as Villa Lobos, Guarnieri...Just out of curiosity, what do you guys recommend as a first piece by Brahms? Not necessarily technique-wise, I've been studying for 15 years, but in his overall language at the keyboard. I don't know if that makes sense in english I want pieces by Brahms to work on before tackling his Sonata in C major, to get used to his writing.
Some JS Bach chorales from some oratorios and such. Not sure why more people do it play or comment on these. Sure the keyboard works from wtc etc are great but so is the 4 part writing in these. Lovely and some genius harmonizations if the melodies
My rep basically revolves around Bach...

That's great! Bach will make you freakishly strong and skilled if you spend enough time with him!
Are you my professor?! He said the exact words. He is a wise man.
And who doesn't want to be freakishly strong?!
hardy_practice? I don't know... apparently it's some sort of early 19th century Paris thing
