Chromatic Fantasy (BWV903a) - 9 months into practice

  • 7 years ago
Here is the results of about 9 months working on Chromatic Fantasy by J.S. Bach (based on an arrangement by Jorge Caballero). After 9 months I am still on my toes with chin up. 3 month results is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJvQLneikw

It is still rough around the edge as was after 3 months, looking at a long way ahead to the virtuosity of Mr Caballero. The intonation issue has improved a little, and little less wrong notes I am hitting, but yet to improve.

This is also an experiment of recording natural reverb so that it is recorded in my favorite acoustics as I usually practice. As I have recorded in the cold weather (-0C temp) with half paralyzed fingers, hopefully the next update with the Fuge part would see better performance in the warmer spring weather.

The details on the recording is as follows. Thank you for watching.
