Easy Bach Pieces

[frasers]

Hello, I, like most pianists, enjoy Bach's music a lot but I am still quite limited in my ability to play piano. I was just wondering if any of you know of any easier Bach pieces that I could learn.
Thanks

Look at the Anna Magdalena Notebooks.

Bach doesn't get much easier than that. And be careful! Even Bach's simplest-looking pieces contain monstrous difficulties!

Of course I'm sure they are. Thanks though, I have already learned 'The Pipe Aria' which is nice but all the songs in the notebook look interesting.

the goldberg variatons isn't too bad.  Not too long, and you should be able to play it well i think

On a serious note, I'd try the Prelude in C major from The Well-tempered Clavier (I). Learn and play the chords, then arpeggiate them.

There's also the Notebook for Wilhelm Friedmann Bach, the preludes from the Little Preludes and Fugues and then onto the two party inventions.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I realise now (I'm reasonably new) that I probably should have posted this in the Student's Corner.

Congratulations on beginning your explorations of Bach's works. First of all, DO NOT start with the Goldbergs, they are the hardest of bachs works. Try some french suites notably No.6 In E Major.
