Re: WEEK 4: The Journey with J.S.Bach's Music! Prelude BWV 997 measures 45-56 I'm continuing to try to memorize this piece from the end. Today, I added just four measures (45-48), but it took me about 20 takes to get one in which I did not have…

Re: WEEK 3: Heavenly Harmonies of J.S.Bach! @joosje Like Steve, I honestly had never heard of a loure. The pulse is there in your playing, and your ornaments are exquisite. It’s great to hear these pieces I haven’t heard before. Beautiful!
