Bach - March in D Major

[ranniks]

Didn't feel like I've put enough emotion into it and at the end I kind of screwed up with the left hand. But satisfied seeing how much of a pain this was at the beginning to learn.

Hope you enjoyed.

Why is it in C major?

Why is it in C major?

It is? I didn't know. This is how my teacher taught it to me.

For me, that would be grounds to look for another teacher. D major and C major are very different and not at all interchangeable.

It's this one:



Maybe I was wrong with the naming then. It does sound like the March in D Major though....I was wondering why mine sounded somewaht different, so this is why.

Edit:

I've already switched teachers. Also stopped violin lessons for personal reasons. My musical concentration is now fully on the piano.

That is the March in D major, but it is obviously in C major in your score! Undoubtedly some fool thought it would be more appropriate for beginners transposed into C.

Trouble is, although C major is easy on the eyes, it is very difficult for the hand!

All the white keys are equal length, but all of our digits are not equal length.


At any rate, I heard quite a bit of monkeying around in the 2nd half. I think your left hand got a bit mixed up.

I personally feel that you play many notes too short. As though you are slightly impatient. Hang on to the notes slightly longer. Think of these detached quarter notes as being separate bows on a cello or violin. Right now they sound a bit like pizzicato.
