A wonderful uploading, but why the annoying and distracting music in the background during the opening remarks. If it could be taken away, we might be able to concentrate on S. Belsky's dialogue better.

Beautifully played, thanks for sharing ;-) I happened to discover this piece in a compilation of female composeres (she was a pupil of Lessel and later on of John Field in Moscow, in 1822 she became court pianist of the tsarina in St. Petersburg). After fiddling around with the first few bars I wanted to hear how it really sounds, so I came to this video ;-) Will retun often to hear this (while simultaneously reading the score). Keep on your good work ;-)

@@SvetlanaBelsky Thanks for the link ;-) Of course it's more professional, but I also like the somehow "unperfect" version showing the person playing and feeling the music. It also helps to understand the emotions and why a certain part or phrase is played this way and not in another way (e.g. a slight ritardando, a small crescendo etc) ;-)

Do you happen to have anything on BWV 892 (Prelude)? I'm struggling with playing it to speed, particularly the trills and this finger tapping concept. Also knowing when and how to use both hands for the extended arpeggio like sequence and the melody that follows, I notice everyone playing it differently (don't know what it's called, similar to a trill like sound) but I prefer Gould's interpretation best

If you are not playing, which you aren't, in a cantabile style, then you are not playing in a manner that Bach himself held above every other consideration as the purpose for composing the Inventions, It is clear that you never bothered to read the preface to the Inventions. Here is a further description of how Bach played is own music. This comment comes from a letter written in April 12, 1840 written by a student of Nickolas Forkel (who was himself a student of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach the son and student of JS Bach) named Friedrich Griepenkerl (himself famous for being the first person to publish the complete collected organ works of JS Bach. Quoting from this important letter: "Bach himself, his sons, and Forkel played the masterpieces with such a profound declamation that they sounded like polyphonic songs sung by individual great Artist singers. Thereby, all means of good singing were brought into use. No Cercare, No Portamento was missing, even breathing was in all the right places. Bach's music wants to be sung with the maximum of art". Of course we have Bach suggesting in the preface of the inventions that above all to inculcate a "cantabile" style of playing. Imagine if you can how much more beautiful and touching this performance would have been had you both sung your parts like individual great artist singers, both expressing the affects of the individual voices independent of the other?

@@keithhill9901 I entirely agree that many of the Inventions (and Little Preludes, and Sinfonias, etc.) truly demand a cantabile touch. You might watch some of my videos on these (the Little preludes, especially, but also Inventions 2 and 9, in which I advocate a singing touch as passionately as you do! However, like every other instrument, the harpsichord and the piano allow a great variety of touches, sounds and articulations. The C Major Invention, in my opinion, benefits from a bright crisp sound and a sprightly character!

Did Bach invent the invention?
@SvetlanaBelsky4 ай бұрын
Interestingly, the term "inventio" comes from the writings of Cicero, the Roman orator, and refers to the process of elaborating on a statement. This is precisely what Bach does with the subjects in these works. I am unaware of anyone before him writing "inventions"
