Tonebase Bach Stage

This thread is dedicated to J.S. Bach keyboard music. We would like to renew the inspiring spirit of the old thread "Group-Journey through J.S. Bach" based on the inventions and extend to the entire Bach repertoire: inventions, preludes, fugues, toccatas, dances of the Suites and Partitas...

This is for everyone who wants to join!

We can enjoy Bach music together and motivate each other in the process of learning and practicing it!

 

"I begin every day with Bach - usually for about an hour. I used to torture myself with Czerny, which of course wasn't exactly stimulating for the mind. On the other hand, it teaches you the fingering for a B flat major scale, chromatic thirds, and so on. The daily grind of learning. Later, I discovered that I could get my 'training' under way better with Bach - a refreshment for the body, soul and spirit". (András Schiff, Music Comes Out of Silence, p. 21)

      Natalie Peh Beautiful Bach, Natalie! Very clear and serene, perfect trills too. This is one of the inventions in which András Schiff is thinking to start the daily practice rather than Hanon, Czerny and others... Thank you for sharing it!

    • Juan Carlos Olite thanks so much, Juan Carlos! I'm so happy to be in such good company as our Back team and Sir Andras Schiff. Bach is really nice for warming up, I find it also focuses my mind and listening, plus it's enjoyable to play. I am doing the Hanon and Czerny too, though I have to admit, not quite as joyfully 😆
