I played this work in a class piano course for music majors. And now, 40 years later, it is nice to hear it played correctly! Thank-you Anna. Oh, I will follow this comment up. I was a composition major (I am still writing), and I learned how to write my first counterpoint by studying the two and three part Bach Inventions. And, how wonderful they are! Later I graduated to Hindemith's Ludis Tonalis--a 20th Century tribute to Bach's Well Tempered Clavier. And it is just pretty crazy wonderful that so many composers over the years (from Hindemith to Copeland to Mahler)--which such divergent styles, credit JS Bach and his Inventions for teaching them how to write counterpoint. I am sure you feel the same way, Anna. Playing a work like this lays bare the fundamentals of great composition.
The spirit of the Baroque is really strong in this performance, and you have such a high level of control that even though what you're doing isn't easy, it's very relaxing to look at, a meditative moment. Love it.
