What a beautiful P&F for today in C minor, but even better, what a grand visit we had on zoom about our summer Well Tempered Experiences!  I loved seeing everyone, and hearing your triumphs and travails.  I’m so glad we’re forging into the second book, and planning to gather again in a few weeks to celebrate our summer project!

Here are some links that came up during our visit tonight:

Stephen Prutsman playing WTC II on YouTube.  (It’s in one take, but there is an index with timings, and I should mention that the controversial part of this wonderful recording is that they are not in order, but in an order that Stephen liked, based roughly on thirds.)

Here is Jenny Lin playing Shostakovich’s Op. 87 Prelude No. 1 in C, and then the Fugue.

And here is Vladimir Ashkenazy playing the same Shostakovich Prelude and Fugue in C.

Lastly, here is the book I’m reading, written by Celia’s cousin!!!!

 

Love, Helen
