Before I started studying, I had very distant memories of Bach's music that terrified me. His way of making you use both hands to play. It doesn't seem very often in Bach that the left hand serves to accompany; instead, it plays on its own. All of this terrified me terribly, but now I have started to love it (at least so far ๐Ÿ˜ณ).

I propose something to you that has quite passionate me, hello everyone.

Hi! The first performance is good as a reading, but there are many things to say. For example, the mental direction of the phrasing seems fluid but has some hitches and I wouldn't know how to say......but fundamentally the piece is there and must be cultivated. In the finale, I would emphasize more and slow down more (think of Bach's violin concertos and orchestra and think of the finales). In the second performance, which is by far superior, who is playing? Let me know and compliments.

Well, it's me playing... even the second piece. You gave me a great compliment, yet I thought the prelude was much inferior to the invention in terms of performance... ๐Ÿ˜ƒ . Hi and thanks.

In fact, I hadn't listened to it in its entirety... but there is that certain fluidity and you can feel that the bass is well understood and flows musically... in the sense that the notes don't fall there because they are written there, but simply follow and form the music itself. In my opinion, it's not bad and sounds more successful to me than the first one. I take the liberty of telling you well done!

@ Consider that the first piece is more complex in terms of succession of events and phrasing, in my view.
