@joosje So lovely, Joosje! You're so right about the harmonies in this music - rich, complex, unpredictable, and so, so beautiful. Wonderful choice!

Prelude BWV 997 measures 33-56 Mar 25 Here is my first time playing the remainder of this prelude. I'm going really slowly with no metronome. The fingering for a lot of this is really difficult,…

@Jack Stewart I agree with Emma - you play trills very nicely! They fit well into the texture of this piece.

@Emma Go for it. I still feel like I'm muscling my way through it. I'd like the feel to be lighter and more elegant.

@Emma Thank you, Emma. This piece has lots of room for interesting variations. I'd love to be able to improvise that kind of thing, but this was all planned out.

Re: Month of J.S.Bach: WATCH PARTY!
What have you learned over the course of the last four weeks? Bach is wonderful on the guitar, but it sure takes a lot of work. What is your next project?…

@Wai Thanks, Wai. In this case, however, I disagree. I think this piece sounds much better on the violin, mostly because of its sustain.

Re: Play along videos of exercises
I like this idea. I really lack the discipline to do technique sessions on my own, and maybe some pre-recorded videos would help. Doing them live is always difficult for me with my job.
