Bach: Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring / R Foster
I sort of backed my way into working on this piece. Martin had mentioned he was working on the David Russell transcription. I have the Rick Foster transcription (Parkening Plays Bach) and was curious how they compared. As I was looking at my edition I worked thru the first page and thought I might be able to work this up for the Ho Ho Hoedown (sorry - that's an American folk dance). I worked on the first page for several days and then started the second page. Oh boy! What did I get myself into. I have worked it up enough to play any particular section but not all of the sections continuously. Anyway this is what I recorded the day before the watch party but it wasn't acceptable to present for that so I am moving it here and will try to chart my progress (or lack thereof).

Emma Thanks for the encouragement Emma. It is 'on hold' while I try to work on the Spain Challenge (as are all of my other 'half baked' pieces). That's the problem with Tonebase. They keep offering all these great challenges and workshops and I'm like a little kid in a candy store.
