If you read the scores of Baroque keyboard works prior to Bach, you notice more embellishments, highly ornate and florid writing. Bach's works are very much stripped of this excess. My intention in the cd is to evoke what Bach might have done with a Steinway concert grand piano, with added Baroque embellishments in the overall style of the Baroque period (1600-1750).
In a 17th-century style? Bach was 15 when the 17th century ended. He composed all these works in the 18th century. (Not to mention that the piano hadn't been invented yet in the 17th century, so you'd really have to play it on a harpsichord.)
Saw the torn sheet music that you referred to yesterday at the Forum - tough I never had any talent on the piano, my little sister was occasionally capable of doing stuff like that. Thanks for coming to Harrisburg and wowing us last night - and for signing our copy of your Bach CD - our first Bach CD. Tony Guida
Amazing performance. Congratulations!

This is most enjoyable; the way I imagine Bach might have played if he only had a Steinway.
