We should all be at the end of Book 1 (or Book 2, depending on your discipline this summer) as of today! If you aren’t , you have about a week to catch up before we begin the other book.
I say every time I start a fugue, “Oh, I LOVE this one.” But the gorgeous sequences that emerge from the haze of this 12-tone wonder still take my breath away. Six pages of fugue. How did you do?
Love, Helen

Celia: I really enjoyed playing the fugue – at first I was a little daunted by the length, but it was beautiful and not too incredibly difficult. I have been finding that it is getting easier to sight read preludes/fugues I have not played before as we have been working through Book 1. I don’t know if this is because I am getting more experience with Bach’s style, or if I am just getting back into the groove of sight reading. Either way, this makes me happy!
I’m excited to start playing through Book 2 in a few days!
Helen: So glad you plugged through it, Celia. I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t look to see how long the fugue is, I just start. I can get quite surprised when there’s a page turn, and then another, and then another . . .
