Congrats! I would subscribe 3 more times if I could to get you to 1,000, though I'm sure you'll be there soon. I've loved your posts, even if I refrain from commenting because my musical knowledge isn't "all there." I'm beginning to think I'm too dumb to be a Bach fan, because his genius and harmonies are way over my head. It's like they're wasted on me. :(
I would be interested in reading more of your analyses on Gould's playing. I've seen a few in past posts. I'm not familiar enough with his style to comment on it either way. However, I feel that interpreting Bach with too many eccentricities is sacrilegious. The music itself is good enough!
Looking forward to reading more posts. (Organ works forever!).
Congrats on the imminent subscriber milestone! Looking forward to everything you’ll share in the back half of the year. (And “I admire him more than I like him” is exactly how I feel about Mr. Gould.)
Thanks Michael. It's so strange that Gould is the benchmark that most people hear first for these recordings -- I was initially put off by other pianists playing WTC because they sounded so different from what I knew from Gould.
Thanks for the journey so far, it's opened my ears to works of Bach I'd never considered, new artists, and taught me to focus in on details of the music in a way I'd never done before. I'll be following along until the Chaconne!
We need to talk about your excel formatting.
Agree that it's garbage, but it's wikipedia's garbage that I coped and pasted. So me and Wiki are both at fault.

Thanks Brittany - when you're moved by music, the technicals are besides the point.

Thanks & congratulations!!
Thanks for your support Paco!
God I love that Italian Concerto... looking forward to this!
Thank you for putting this out into the world so that we can enjoy the journey, too!
Thank you Marina!
