Re: How do you memorize music?
@Tristan Baker I do get where @Emma Leiuman is coming from with her holistic description of memorization and it really is the ultimate goal. I have a colleague that once said "memorizing a piece is…

Re: changing piano technique

Re: changing piano technique
@Emma Leiuman said: Their direction, speed, amplitude, and coordination change from one musical idea to the next. This is a key element of "suppleness" in one's playing.…

@Doug I am not sure how to respond as you seem to be conflating concepts here and drawing a number of personal conclusions about Bach in general. I am not looking to challenge you on your personal…
