Bach - Prelude C min BWV 847 WTC1 Pianoteq

[carmelopaolucci]

Dear friends,

I get back to studying and playing piano after a long break.
And I decided to start again with Bach, WTC 1, I don't know if you will like this video but I have a lot of fun playing it and I hope you like it.
Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Greetings from Italy!
Carmelo

Although the rhythm is still not smooth, I like to have a little bit of a beat like real emotion. I am also very passionate about piano but in 2022, I had to give up my passion to take care of my small family.

Love the way you release the LH at 1:36.

Not so sure about the long pauses or holding of chords e.g. at 1:24.

What kind of mood are you trying to convey towards the end? It seems to have lost any anger. Is that intended?

I think the rhythm is smooth (even) enough in the first section, nothing glaring stands out.  It's the transition between sections.  At 1:13 you sped up.  At 1:26 you slowed down a bit too much - too unrelated to what we've heard so far, something closer to tempo primo would be preferable.  My opinion of course - so many options with Bach.  It's darn good for an amateur pianist.

Yes, the consistent articulation of the upper RH note is admirable.
