I got 7/10, a few of which were guesses. I did a lecture on the XXXX (spoilers), and printed up a color-coded guide to the Quodlibet avec les...
Grumpy! :lol: Thanks for (re)introducing me to a Bach piece I'm not very familiar with, Wladycek! The fantasy portion was very nice; I wonder...
It is. While perfection might be our ideal goal, sometimes we have to settle for mieux! :wink:
Oh, I think Chopin thought Czerny was a lovely human being...just not a musician worth mentioning. :wink:
Would you believe...there are new ones? :lol:
It's the same quote I used to have in my sig in translation, from a letter to Tytus dated 12 September 1829. This is the Voynich translation: "I...
Well, now the fingering makes sense. :) Bach wrote those like trills with a hook on the end. Much less intimidating than playing two ornaments at...
Probably a good idea. One of those random things I remember from music history classes is that Couperin was very persnickety about his ornaments....
If they're different than you're used to from Couperin, I'd be wary of the edition. I know that Bach ornaments differ from edition to edition and...
Very weird. As for the advice...practice the voices separately. If you get accustomed to doing both of them separately, maybe you can do them...
Yes, but no partitas on the site! Not even one, tsk tsk.
Field, on the other hand, was apparently not! My friend Piotrek helped me translate this letter from Edward Wolff to Józef Nowakowski (both were...
Any idea which you'll do first? I think I will do 5 next, but I've been saying that for a few years. You didn't forget 887. That's the one we...
I agree, there's more distortion, particularly in the forte bits.
Don't listen to her, the E-flat is beautiful. :lol: My only real criticism of this would be that in the forte bits, the melody is subordinate...
Do it! I did two of them (2 and 6); just avoid thinking of them as a set to complete and you'll do fine. Congrats again on your second completion...
I specifically sought out an organ recording of that piece because I wanted to hear what it sounded like. I like the sound; I just wasn't...
Hmm, the last one I recall, I tagged both you and Monica in a post about this video of the 847 prelude on organ. (Wanted to get your opinion on...
haha, not really. I just don't hang around because all I ever do is nitpick people's recordings, which is apparently annoying. I try to talk to...
Hi Andreas, Sorry for dredging up this thread. I started working on this fugue last week, so today I was running through the various YouTube...
