I like the Fugue very much - and no Fakerudy this time!
Howeva in my very humble opinyon da Prelude is played way too fast…(great clarity though) Haha I sound like da Bach-collar here.
Ummm…based on what?
Only because I find da TM tempo too fast here?
Baroque mu*ic is all about freedom, there are no fixed rules for one absolute tempo so there IS no one right tempo as da BachScholar suggests.
I just feel that in zis case, the niceties in rhythm and harmony come out better when the piece is taken at a more moderate pace.
By all meanz, play it ze way you feel it at that moment!
But I think it’s great you’re always open to musical suggestions by mofos on this site…despite of da TM being already an accomplished virtuozo…
Tru tru, I iz always interested in mofoz opinions. Generally, the first impression is very similar for everyone… if the tempo seems too fast - then it is. If there is something which can be Krittycized n used as a basis fo elimination at dese corrupt comps
den it will be. Unless you took lessons with several of da cimp jury.
Frankly, what makes u mofos think dat da jury mofoz haff sum special insight?
I’d rather hear yo opinions den…
Take diz trumofoism wiz a grain of salt but
If I want to really please the jury, I might as well go to da local prizon wiz ponzi scheme fraudsters n rapists and ask THEIR opinion
Tbh I don’t think they have special insights, often indeed maybe the mofo performing in da comp knows the piece better than they do. Unfortunately the jury mofos have the power if not da knowledge. Often I think dese things are about not offending da jury…
I don’t think TM should slow it down only because of some jury membahs. He should play it the way he believes is the right way…tempo choice in Bach is a very personal thing anyway.
Btw did some listening and there are more penists who play it very fast. Da played da Prelude in more or less the same tempo.
Personally I still like it best a bit zlower from a mu*ical point of view.
