A blog about musical pursuits and experiences
I am on a quest to learn all 48 sets of preludes and fugues in Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, "learning" including memorizing. I thought it might be interesting to collect all of my Bach efforts in one place; see the list below. Clicking on the link will open the recording so you can listen to it.
The recordings are in reverse chronological order (oldest last). The earliest was recorded in 2006.I am NOT implying that these are definitive interpretations! Rather, this is meant to document my development as an amateur pianist.
I have actually learned these others as well but never tried recording them; maybe someday I will go back and resurrect them:WTC II/20 in A minor
WTC I/21 in B flat major
WTC I/1 in C major
WTC I/2 in C minor
CURRENTLY WORKING ON:
WTC I/2 in C minor

Very nice arrangement and performance.
Thanks, Bill. The arrangement is actually from the Fireside Book of Folksongs; second time through I just took the right hand up an octave and added some arpeggiation in the left hand. I spent about five minutes on it, but it was fun to do.
My husband said it reminded him of Frederic Rzewski.
