Prelude in C Major, Bach

This is another one of my favorite classical pieces, and is one of a few that I have memorized. (I prefer reading music so I rarely memorize a piece unless I really like it.) I think the tempo is a little on the slow side, but perhaps this makes it a little easier to follow the fingerings. One of the secrets to playing this well is to bring out the ebb and flow of harmonic tension and release. Hopefully you can hear this emphasized by the often-changing dynamics. This was recorded Oct. 22nd, 2023.
