little prelude bach bwv 926

[deandeblock]

Hi guys, i just made my first recording of the little prelude, There is still *much* room for improvement...

Would love to hear your comments about it so I can work on it!

is it that bad?

[cbreemer]

It is not that bad at all. But you really need to work on your ornaments, they sound strained and inconsistent, if they sound at all. And on better phrasing and a more detached touch. Bach played
so legato can get a bit soggy. The dramatic tempo changes are actually quite effective here.
I think it has promise.

Thanks cbreemer,

Yes those are awful, when i play the piece at speed I am unable to get consistent, nice, pearly ornaments, let's hope those Hanon exercises which I've started last week will aid me in playing them properly!

Anyway, I am not done with this piece and will keep at it


cheers!

Sticking with any Bach piece, however small, will always pay off. Trills are often a pregnant dog though.
I find it helps if you consciously take your time for them. Better to have a trilled note last slightly longer but with a clean trill, than botch the trill trying to keep in strict tempo.

My teacher had a listen too yesterday


"Too fast and uneven" but not too bad considering I only started little more than a year ago


Sooooo, back to the drawing board
