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)

Hello everybody, I’ve recently posted a first recording of the prelude in A-Minor of the WTC II, BWV 889. Here is now my first recording of the fugue that goes with it. Still work in progress though. But my goal was to make a first recording by end of August. So here it is with all its imperfection
-
Ursina Boehm a worthy addition to the beautiful music you’ve posted to your YouTube channel. So clear, sensitive and articulate a rendering of this & the Prelude.

-
Natalie Peh Very lovely dear Natalie! Enjoyed listening to it!
-
Vidhya Bashyam thanks much, dear Vidhya!
-
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
-
Natalie Peh that’s great Natalie. You’re playing it with great confidence and musicality. Your playing seems to improve significantly with every recording. Keep it up!
-
Peter Golemme thanks Peter, you’re so kind! Maybe I really should record myself more often!
-
Natalie Peh I suspect that it is the practicing, not the recording, that makes the difference. Just a hunch . . . . .
-
Peter Golemme you may be right, Peter! ;)
