Been looking at this since Friday, so it's still very rough.

  • Im working on this piece now. I don't do the thrill-part so good tought! :-P

  • @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?".

  • @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?

  • nice :)

  • is this book last pieces is bach invention 1?haha

  • Nice playing. What's your digital piano, by the way?

  • Great job. Learning it now, very inspirational.

  • 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) ;-)

  • 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! :)
