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)

Something from the beginner-side: Minuet III in G major

Beautifully played! You really bring the minuet to life. Thanks for sharing 😄

Pierre Tran says that this variation is a courteous dialogue between two friends. It's a very good description; don't you think?

In Polonaise rhythm, and after the meditative Aria, the Variation one of the Goldbergs is a "festive gateway leading to the inner world of the piece" (Thirty Bach Podcast). With this video it has a place in our Tonebase Bach Stage.

"Bach was obsessed with mirrors, musical mirrors" (Jeremy Denk). That is the essence of Variation 15 of the Goldbergs (Canone alla Quinta, Andante), first variation in minor key, end of the first part of the work... Simply: a melancholic, meditative, gorgeous... piece.

Happy New Year! Here is the little piece I’ve been working on from the Anna Magdalena Notebook. Thanks for creating this forum, Juan Carlos ! It’s such a joy to check in on everyone playing Bach.
