    @Horace said in Recital:

    C#m fugue, WTC1.

    Thanks.

    Looking at the sheet music now.

    Yeah, I gotta take a look at this one.

    The problem with Bach's WTC is what Jazzy D (remember him from years ago?) said. You gotta play them ALL the time. It's like spinning plates. If you let one stop spinning, they call come crashing down.

    I recently revisited the C Major fugue from Book 1.

    There are some seriously tricky parts there.

    I commend you on your ability to play it from memory!

    It’s not really an option for me to sight read. One does not merely sight read into Mordor, so to speak. One learns the steps, or one does not step.

      Nice, the Intermezzo is among my favorite Brahms pieces.
      What's that fugue after the Intermezzo?

          See previous response to GK.

          I suspect it was an important piece to Mr Bach.

              Honestly I thought you did a good job on the 118/2. True is was a bit more halting or tentative than you wanted it but the inner voices were well done.

              You had more confidence with the Bach and it was well executed, personally I’d have liked to hear it a bit drier, less pedal. But it was a success.

                  Well played Horace. Very thoughtful and musical. That matters most.

                    That's my favorite Brahms Intermezzo. Nicely done. It's tough to be last to perform on a program. When I did play for recitals or being judged, the first piece was always one that it took to settle down. I eventually chose to go with something incredibly solid, followed by the new pieces. You did well with both performances. I love that Bach - very engaging and sensitively performed. I'm glad your hand injuries are in the rear view mirroa nd hope you eventually get a grand to play on.

                      FWIW, I have also added four to six inches to my waistline since we met.

                          Thank you Kluurs. I’m getting used to the idea that i’ll never own a grand. It’s ok. I do like the compact form of an upright
