HELEN 8/22: Finally I’m ready to rejoin this excellent conversation.
First, this came into my inbox this morning. Everything about it is wonderful — beware! you can lose a couple of hours here.
Second, the playing of today’s Prelude and Fugue in Bb minor (with only two left to go for this summer’s discipline) struck me how much I’ve improved my reading this year, thanks to you and your enthusiasm with these bi-monthly projects. I’m also struck that I won’t understand this fugue for another two summers or so, which is kind of comforting. Love, Helen
GRACE 8/23: Ha! Yes this fugue is crazy-pants. When it started I was like, “oh yeah I remember this, I’ve heard Gould play this so many times.” And then around like 4 I realize I have no idea what’s going on, and I have many more lines to go. Incredible. No idea how it was constructed…
