August 1

First, I’m looking forward to our gathering tomorrow night.  Keep the faith, you are doing great.

OK!  Time for the next book!  JSB (for those of us now in Book 2) presents us with a supremely chromatic prelude for P&F1, a look back perhaps at the last fugue, no. 24 in Book 1.  He is throwing down the modulation gauntlet, it seems to me.  Also time for another photo — here I am pointing to one of the most difficult lines of the prelude, with an Evil Piano Teacher smirk.

 

Comments:

Grace: That prelude was so tricky! And the last two lines of the fugue really threw me.

Helen: I mean, C major, right?? Go figure . . .
