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)

After an unforgettable trip to Leipzig Bach Festival, I'm under the Bach music spell more than ever... So, here another monthly recording: the beautiful Prelude in f minor of the Well-Tempered Clavier second book.

Another gem, played with loving grace but also thoughtful analysis. I love your delicate accenting of beats 2 and 4, your careful dynamics and, of course, your charming and varied ornaments. Muchissimas gracias!

I’m relearning the prelude and fugue in A minor from the WTC II, BWV 889 during the summer holidays: here’s a first recording of the prelude, so it is still work in progress. I hope to make a recording of the fugue by the end of the month. Best regards from Switzerland 😃🎹😃
