J.S. Bach - Sinfonia #10 (G Major) - Three-Part Invention

Here is J.S. Bach's Sinfonia #10 in G Major.  I wasn't quite able to get it up to the Glenn Gould tempo. In the end I decided I'd rather sacrifice clarity for speed.  I've been working on speed again lately so it is possible I will revisit this composition in the future.

J.S. Bach - Sinfonia #9 in F minor - BVW794

I've been using Bach Inventions and Sinfonias for the past year or so as a daily technical exercise.  I spend about an hour each morning working slowly through challenging sections of the music.  After about two weeks I record a performance and post it to my YouTube channel.  The goal of these videos is to track my progress and growth over the course of studying J.S. Bach's counterpoint.  I do not consider myself a professional classical pianist but I still hope you enjoy my best (albeit amateurish efforts) at performing Baroque music.


Check out my reasoning for practicing Baroque music as explained in this previous blog post.

J.S. Bach - Sinfonia #1 (Three-Part Inventions)

I thought I would take some time off from Bach after completing my series on Bach's two part inventions. Yet, I only managed to record one video, Beethoven's "Fur Elise", before coming back to Bach. For me, practicing Bach's music is simply the best exercise in tone production and fingering technique. It will truly be a sad day when I complete his works. Fortunately for me, he was a prolific writer and most all his works are held in very high regard. I doubt I will ever come close to recording his complete works for keyboard.

Here is my recent recording of J.S. Bach's Sinfonia #1 in C Major. These pieces, as well as the two-part inventions, were written as technical studies for his piano students. We assume they were implemented for keyboard technique as well as compositional analysis of the counterpoint style. I hope you enjoy my take on this Baroque masterpiece.
