Re: WEEK 2: Bach in March Practice Updates @CK , very nice, CK. But given the other pieces I've heard you play, this seems like it would be more of a "cake walk" than a "challenge" for you .

Re: WEEK 2: Bach in March Practice Updates @Michael , it has come a long way in just a week. Given the tempo you're playing it, it will also be tough to play through cleanly with all the accidentals.

Re: What piece of Bach's music most speaks to your life right now? Why? For me, it's the entire book 1 of the Well Tempered Clavier. I just recently returned to learning classical piano after 35 years. Since most of my playing skills had atrophied over the years,…

Re: WEEK 2: Bach in March Practice Updates @Gail Starr , I don't remember any of the pieces I learned in my younger days. And I don't think I was mentally ready to take on a fugue until after high school.
