J.S. Bach - Prelude no. 2 in c minor BWV 847 from "Well-tempered clavier"
The Well-Tempered Clavier, BWV 846-893, consists of two sets of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys for keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach. In the composer's time, clavier referred to a variety of stringed keyboard instruments, most typically the harpsichord or clavichord, but excluding the organ, which is not a stringed keyboard.
The prelude is 38 bars long, and consists mostly of a repeating motif. The motif consists of running sixteenth notes in the form of broken chords in both hands.
The prelude continues like so for 33 bars, with different harmony and changes of key. The coda begins at the 34th bar, where a sudden change of texture and tempo occurs. In the first bar of the coda, an arpeggiated chord is followed by a rapid succession of thirty-second notes. This new motif is repeated twice, after which a succession of sixteenth notes ends the prelude on a picardy third.

Thanks for this great performance, to play at this tempo with such accuracy and clean articulation is absolutely fabulous - something I will only ever be able to aspire to. I’ve listened to this 4 or 5 time and I’ll be coming back to list again, take care.

[@maddannafizz]

Perfect except for just a a little more contrast.. building forte, peaking, pianissimo.. to emote more passion; everything else is very good ❤

[@lebrundeneve5799]

Terrible! Bravo😮😊👌

[@paxwallace8324]

Trop lent. Il faudrait que cette personne prenne des cours.

Nice playing but the tuning sounds dull and bland.

[@cupavac9304]

What do you mean, how else would you tune it

[@95tupolev]

@@cupavac9304 This must be equal temperament. Neutral key colour; all the keys sound the same. C minor should sound darker than this and the major 3rd beats too fast. The Well Tempered Clavier was written for a well tempered tuning where each key has its own, subtle character. Thomas Youn I is an excellent tuning for pianos, and is musically effective from baroque to jazz. There are also tuning systems attributed to Bach, including a 1/6th py well temp, and his 'signet ring' temperament with 5 tempered 5ths and 7 pure; known as Kellner.
