Sarabande BWV 997 March 15 Now I feel like I have this piece more-or-less in my fingers (although I still mess up a lot), so I wanted to give it a little more musicality.…

@Ron Thanks, Ron. I chose this one because the tempo is reasonable (and it's really beautiful). Still very difficult, though.

@Wai Thanks, Wai. I did try this a bit. The stretch between the low B with 2 and high A with 4 is really difficult. I'll give it another try this afternoon when I have time to practice.

@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I'd love to look at it, if it's not too difficult. Please don't go to any trouble, though. I'm thinking you might need to get a 75% cut for this.

@Jack Stewart Very impressive, Jack! So much shifting and odd fingering going on there, but you accomplish it accurately and in time. Both of these have a nice dance quality to them.
