I know man, it comes natural to play softly the last chords, i'm learning thiese piece too, but in the score there's a ff and it's also written "pesante", so you've got to strike hard on the keys :D
P.S. I apologize for my english, maybe my grammar isn't perfect, but i think you'll get the meaning anyway :D
@JohnThePetru your score has it wrong, I'm afraid. In Bach's time, this prelude was written for clavichord, not for a piano-forte. That means that p, mf, f, sfz etc are indications from your editor, not from Bach. In other words: everyone playing a Bach piece has to answer this for themselves "how would Bach have intended this had he known about forte and piano on a keyboard when he wrote this?".
You're completely right, but if the editor (I apologize but I'm not sure how it's called in english :D) put there a "pesante" IMHO he had some reasons to do so, since i'm not a musicologist (and i suppose the editor is) I'm not arguing with his decision :D
Anyway, Bach sounds great played in all the way a man can conceive! :)
The point was more about there being many different editors and they all disagree. Mine, for instance, puts in no dynamic markings whatsoever (I have a so-called "urtext").
And: even if editors can be "right", a feeling for a piece is personal: you may just decide to do it differently, even if your "knowledge" of music is not as big as your editor's: he's not sitting in the room listening, but you are (esp when playing) ;-)
@Misteribel Yeah, you're right, I don't even know why I was saying such nonsense. BTW I've thrown away that edition and I got a Henle Verlag Urtext edition.
it sounds like u used the damp pedal.... is there damp pedal in there?
