Re: J.S. Bach - 2 part inventions group @Andrea Buckland I just listened to the Gould recording of the d minor that I started to work on and it is REALLY fast and very staccato. Quite different than Magdalena, but i kind of like it.

Re: J.S. Bach - 2 part inventions group @Vidhya Bashyam Yes, I had NO idea about the rationale for long trills! They are kind of tiring, don't you think? Does your hand get tense?
