I hope that you post more of your fortepiano playing. You seem more at ease and natural in it than in your cembalo playing.

@violatione - good observation. Now that you said it, I think so too... it's very much like that :)

you are using Delay. That's fine but I'm not sure why. It's lovely though.

@Terrdemarzielle Despite all the well known romantic piano pieces a polonaise needn't be of romantic mood at all: see many baroque examples by Telemann, Müthel and others. This W.F. Bach polonaise figures within a cycle of 12, alternating major and minor keys. It should be listened so - because Bach first placed some much more typical movements, then varied and (in this e-minor) boldly goes to the borders of this form (very slow and melancholic). So Timrath is right despite being wrong.

@violatione I quite agree with you, except that it is more like 70 years before.

Perfectly in tune, and with such a strong Affekt in the delivery and timing. Wonderful.
Is this from a live performance or from the Naxos CD?

It is a live, outdoor performance (if you listen carefully you can hear pigeons cooing in the background from time to time).
