JS Bach Piano Invention No. 4 Performed by Ray Cruz on Clavinova

Now download MP3 here: http://www.ergonica.net/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cP... . Bach Inventions are great exercises to teach each hand to sing independently. Wolfgang Amadeus Bach was a genius in weaving numerous voices between each hand. BTW: This piece was created by Bach sometime before rap music, but after the dinosaurs became extinct! Somewhere in between. Can you rap to 6/8 time?

I think that you have to have a very stable tempo (no accelerations etc...) while playing Bach...

[raymuser]

Yes, you're correct! That is the way Bach should be performed according to the classical method. But, don't forbid yourself from playing around with classical of other types of music as your heart desires! That's what all the great composers did after Bach... Please your teacher, if you must, then please yourself!

can you sing Ray?

[raymuser]

I have kind of a baritone voice, but I haven't learned to sing while playing piano. Keeping track of two hands and a little pedal work with the feet is about all I can do. It's all about practice.

[imbonnie]

Well, probably not on youtube.

[raymuser]

I was hoping you would sing wearing your July 4 outfit.  The fireworks would be a cool background track, as well. Maybe we can figure out a production with some additional singers and musicians? Any volunteers? We're in the SoCal area.

This is great, but it's Johann Sebastien Bach, not Wolfgang Amadeus [which is Mozart.]

[Educs]

Very good job! Love it

[raymuser]

If I play it, will you sing it?

[imbonnie]

very nice Ray. Can you do america the beautiful?
