New Bach Video Prelude n 9 in E Major, BWV 854 WTC 1

[carmelopaolucci]

Dear Friends,

I'm publish this piece to continue my dream of recording the entire Well Tempered Clavier,to achieve this feat, I didn't choose a famous acoustic piano, but simple entry-level digital piano, because I'm convinced that even with "poor equipment" but with a lot of good will, it's possible to overcome the difficulties and achieve appreciable results on a collection that often represent a real challenge even for professional pianists.
I am not certain whether writers on esthetics are really agreed that E-major is specially the key of deep green, of fully developed spring; it would be interesting to know the results of the late Prof. Dr. Fechner's enquiries respecting the parallelism between sensations of colour and tone. Anyhow, one has only to contrast the present number in the key of E-major, especially the prelude, with the preceding prelude and fugue (especially the latter) in Eb-
minor, in order to understand that music can concern itself with deep speculation of a religious-philosophical character as well as with the lively enjoyment of nature. The light arpeggio triplets with their delicately moving summits (as though ruffled by a soft breath of air), and the cosy little shake of the feathered singers concealed beneath them, wave like branches adorned with fresh leaves: below all is peaceful (stationary bass, and slow, onward-gliding middle voice).
It was really fun to study it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Greetings from Italy
