Steve Goss: Pitches, Rhythms, and Rests - Are We Misreading Bach? (Jun 28) Questions / Suggestions
Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be welcoming Steve back on tonebase Live this coming Monday! 
This time, we will be tackling some of the big questions about playing Bach on the guitar. Here's what Steve has to say about it:
How can Bach’s music best suit the idiom of the guitar? What music should we play and how should we approach it? How do we deal with texture and implicit harmonies? Do we understand Bach’s rhythmic notation - inequalities, triplets and flourishes? Why is Bach so specific about note-lengths and rests? What articulation should we use? Were the Lute Suites even written for the lute? What about rubato and dynamics? I don’t promise any definitive answers, but I’ll give you plenty to think about.
