Seymour Bernstein On Bach: Invention No. 1

[mark]

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

BTW, that was a great video.

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. Geeky Fun stuff.

I love Bach. So challenging to get it to sound good.

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

I read his book "With Your Own Two Hands". Very good.

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.

The word “can’t” is not in my vocabulary. I play CANabile.
