Re: Bach in March WEEK 1: Practice Updates
@Juan Carlos Olite Very good Juan Carlos! I liked all the musical styles you brought out. I have one criticism, I think you should have smiled at the end.

Re: Bach in March WEEK 1: Practice Updates
I have chosen the first prelude and fugue in C major from the WTC book. Both new pieces for me. The fugue is a challenge of course and I don't know if I will be able to get it up to a high standard…

Re: WEEK 1: Discovering Schubert Month

Brahms Waltz 9 - YouTube The hardest part was pulling back on the speed. I had to stop myself from playing more quickly and more loudly. For me it is a piece to enjoy quietly.
