@annasocke Actually you can. As you know, they did what they could with the instruments they had, namely the harpsichord, which was what this piece was written for. There wasn't the option of playing with dynamics or tempo for this instrument. Look at Glenn Gould's interpretation of Invention No. 13 and tell me if it doesn't make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
I don't know, he played it (1st of all, better than I can) as if he were playing it on the harpsichord, which is the instrument it was composed on and for, but I'm one of those "new age" people who like songs to take you on a journey that's deeper than just technique. I'm more of someone who likes to play around with tempo and dynamics, so naturally I am against something that sounds like it's being played by a player piano.
Wow...
