Fortepiano - JCF Bach: Variations on "Ah! vous dirai-je, maman"

on: May 21, 2019, 03:31:19 PM

A set of 18 variations by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach (1732-1795), with some embellishments as was typical performance practice of the era. (I left out the 15th variation because my fingers just wouldn't play it well...)

Instrument: Fortepiano copy after Anton Walter (ca. 1792) by Paul McNulty. FF-g3. Knee pedals: moderator, sustain pedal

Recorded using my iPhone from my seat in the audience rows, in the foyer of a concert hall.

The tempo ended up quite a bit quicker than it felt while I was playing it. I was quite surprised at how nerves affected my perception...
