Johann Sebastian Bach Sarabande e-minor

Quite good I thought.

But your rhythm is very off in many points. Sometime's it's just too free discern a rhythm, and you are putting demi-semi quavers in the place of what should be just semi-quavers in a lot of places too. And what happened to ornamentation?

For Bach's music to flow (and to get a clear sense of counterpoint), you must keep a steady rhythm, that's not to say that you should be human metronome.

And don't think I didn't notice that wrong note at 2:59! ;-)

Thanks for your critic. I do agree that my tempo is a bit to free. It is a matter of let yourself free to play. Sometimes it is just nessessary to risk otherwise everything sounds quite dead. i will try a new recording soon

You're welcome... it's nice to see someone who understands that I'm trying to constructively criticise for the good of bach performance, and not just to be an asshole!

Thanks
