BACH-Busoni BWV 639

[lluiscl]

My small tribute to the greatest of all times.

Beautiful voicing of the top line, in my opinion. But notes in the inner voices are sometimes missing, and the pedaling is not yet very well controlled. I think you are too dependent on the pedal for legato.

I can not agree with you. Put a good earphones, look at the sheet and you'll listen everything.
Don't confuse the sound reverb (that I added it in the post audio) with bad pedal...
All the best.

Unfortunately I don't have any quality headphones.

I listened again with better speakers though. I suppose you are correct... what I thought was messy pedaling does seem to be the added reverb. In any case, I think I would prefer without the added reverb, or with slightly less. Either you make a recording in an acoustic environment that has great reverb, or you must live with a slightly drier-sounding recording. Did you record this at home?

There was some lovely rubato throughout and fine attention to the tenor voice. My quibbles with missing inner notes, upon second listening, seem to be minor.

I recorded it at the workshop room were it was restored and voiced (it's a 115 yo Bechstein grand). I add the reverb because I liked in this piece, that was an original organ work...

Nicely done.

I agree with awesome-o about the reverb. In places it's fine, but the algorithm that adds it in isn't sensitive enough and at other times it's too much. In a hall with reverb, the feedback allows you to modify your playing to account for it, but the added in variety lacks this. It's a minor quibble, but something you might consider in future.

Have you done any of the other 9 in the collection? I'd love to hear them if you have.
