I believe that your interpretation of this prelude is quite good. I do not find your tempo fast. Indeed, many try to play this piece too fast in an effort to showcase their dexterity. However, I find you tempo is well chosen, allowing the music to reveal its true beauty and depth of feeling. Truly, you place your talents at the service of the music. Applause and encore!
Is this meant to have so much pedal? BTW this is a real question not a pretentious rhetorical question or something... also i do like your playing, although as mentioned, I feel the excessive pedal may be it's only downfall. Good-stuff though. Thanks for spending your time to upload and helping to fulfill the Internets archiving potential.
@johnyprestige This piece was written for the lute. The pianist can choose to attempt imitation of the sounds of the lute, or to make it an entirely independent pianistic piece. On the lute the bass note will resound for a long time while the other notes sound shorter and more separated. If you can imagine the melody being: BONG, dut dut dah, BONG, dut dut dah.
@proszel Actually, this is part of Das Wohltemperierte Clavier or The Well Tempered Clavier and not written for lute. The lute was, however, one of the first instruments upon which tempering was introduced so that it could play in tune in any key. Das Wohltemperierte Clavier is a collection of preludes (such as this one) and fugues in every key and thus served as a demonstration of the ability tempered instruments.
I really like this piece. Great job!

In my opinion the slower the tempo for JS Bach music the better, you get to enjoy more and more.
Listen to Gould how he was playing the Goldberg variations in the first recording of the 50s and the second recording of 1982

This is one way to play it. Others might play it different. Everybody has it's own interpretation.

It sounds complete but it's missing a few bars, at least according to the Peters edition I have. Which edition did you learn this piece from?
