"What do you think 'cantabile' means?"

I continue to work on the 1st movement of the Italian Concerto. In the opening passages, my teacher stressed that I should bring out the contrast between legato passages in one hand with detached notes in the other.
In this video, Bernstein calls it "charming."

A passage in the first Goldberg variation is similar. Detached, almost staccato, in the left hand, legato in the right hand.

In the Italian Concerto, the edition I'm working from mixes it up a bit in this passage - in the first iteration, it's staccato in the left hand, and then, it's not.
GeekyFun stuff.

Simone Dinnerstein also does an interesting video of her work on this invention.

Cantabile? CANTABILE??
...when I . . . get . . . rubber in all four gears(!?)
I remember when I first learned the Inventions/Sinfonias under some Latvianazi yelling piano teacher. I just wasn't a cantabile kind of guy.
Either that makes sense or not.
