Re: Study Group Zoom Check-In I am really looking forward to this. I have just gotten to the point where I have memorized the piece. As you get older, you find that it takes more time to memorize a piece,…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 @Blaise Laflamme Thanks for the good advice, Blaise. I am taking chunks at a time and trying to drill them into my hands. My goal for the Bach is 4 new measures every day (if I am not interrupted).…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 Just curious about how you all are learning the piece. Are you going through the piece a few measures at a time, trying to memorize it and burn the fingerings into your muscle memory?…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 @David I have not gotten up to that part of the piece. When I do, I will let you know. Working my way through the first ten measures now.

Re: What was the last concert you attended? @Randy Wimer, All of my friends who went said it was a great concert. I couldn't bring myself to go because I find Vai a bit over the top ... especially when compared to Fripp.…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 So, already some controversy!!! For the 'A' which occurs on the 3rd beat of the first measure, the Apke transcription says to use the '4' finger in the LH, but the Bustos video uses the '2' finger.…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999 Boy oh boy .... this one is going to be a doozy. I have never played this piece, and it very well could be beyond my current level. But I will give it the good old college try.…

Re: The Women Composers Challenge Week Three @joosje I also notice the absence of Kruisbrink. To be fair, the booklet from the Manhattan School of Music says that faculty members and students are free to contribute more composers to this list.…
