Tonebase Bach Stage

Juan Carlos Olite Oh! Wonderful! I'll be sure to record it and post soon. Thanks!!

Natalie Peh I enjoyed this performance very much Natalie.  I understand perfectly how you could want to play this piece over and over.  I love hearing the sequences of patterns based on the scale steps. I've noticed that the key signature of one sharp seems to bring this out in Bach's WTC pieces, as I see similar sequential patterns in the other WTC offerings in G Major and E minor. To me it seems like Bach is pointing out the compelling nature of the arrangement of steps in the major scale -- rather than just a historical convention, there is something very satisfying in the progression of whole and half steps that has made it such a fundamental part of our harmonic system.

Many performers in my collection play these pieces at a blisteringly fast speed, which (after I get over feeling envious) I think is not as nice as a moderate tempo, which displays the harmonic arrays built on scale steps more like a gently opening flower than a momentary dazzle of light  (if I may mix my metaphors).  Keep up the good work, and we'll look forward to additional offerings!

Peter Golemme hi Peter! Thanks very much for your very kind and interesting comments. Great observations on the harmony, key signature and tempo, which I will look out for as I learn to play more of these gems in the collection. 

Michelle R Bach is Bach!  Go for it!

Natalie Peh very nice !
