KATIE 7/5: So I *must* have learned the D major prelude and fugue at some point, because compared to the C#s this was a breeze! I’ll definitely have to go back and listen to the C#s before I try them again because I got completely lost about three measures into each. It’s so lovely to have the pieces organized this was so we get logical, clean preludes and fugues between the hard, chromatic ones.
HELEN 7/6: I enjoyed the D major immensely, and thought about the students who know it better than I do. Yes, how nice of Bach not to put hard keys next to each other. Thank goodness for the alterations between white and black keys!
