As far as I am concerned, for a nearly intermediate level piano student, I believe you covered all the bases to interpret pieces like this. In most cases the teachers only vaguely explain and work with the students on these points. I found your explanations and approach very clear and easy to understand. Thank you.
@@pianocheckpoint Toni, hello! As always, charming! When do you have time to learn new pieces? And you still have to record them and post them and respond to comments. If I'm not mistaken, you are a teacher at the university? Yours Andrey :)
@ hi Andrey Thank you very much for your reply. I am a very good sight reader and pieces like this Bach for example can be recorded very easily and quickly. The most work is finding a fingering that works well in speed and sometimes is not so practical in the slow motion speed. When I come across a new piece I am able to recognize immediately its harmonical structure and this makes things very easy. As an example: this piece is in G minor, so there will be surely many of the chords that are in this key, but also the chords of b flat major. That’s is why recognizing chords is so useful and should be practiced as much as reading notes. I am working as a piano teacher in a music school near Lucerne. I have an education in piano teaching and a concert diploma. I am also working as a piano technician, freelancer. The time for the videos is mostly during my spare time.

Thank you very much for your helpful feedback! My goal is to make my thoughts clear and understandable, even through a video.

Thank you for your Message!
It's somewhat similar to BWV Anh 115
Many of his pieces show some similarities. Have fun with this piece. Please let me know if you need any help.
@@pianocheckpoint Thank you very much! Very nice!
