Re: Bach in March WEEK 1: Practice Updates
This is a video I made in January for my teacher (he said "just hands," so that's what I did) of the Prelude and Fugue in E major from WTC Book I. I started working on this last fall and have kept…

Re: Welcome to Bach in March!
I wish I could participate in this, but these next few weeks are going to be crazy for me. Maybe I can play something short.

Re: What music are you working on?
@Peter Golemme Those bass notes are usually equivalent to a continuo bass line. I'm also a cellist, so I'm well aware of there being a distinctive bass line that is often a melody in itself.…

Re: What music are you working on?
@Peter Golemme I'm on this type of project, too. I'd learned a handful of Preludes and Fugues from both books of WTC in the past, but about a year ago I decided to start at the beginning.…

Re: Sign Up for NEXT Tonebase Community Concert!
I'd like to play depending on when it is. If it's in April or later, I might be able to. Not sure what I would play yet - maybe Schubert Impromptu Op. 90 No. 4.
