Graduate recital
Very glad I spent so much time practicing recovering from memory slips even though this was memorized like 5 months in advance of the recital. I picked this piece because of the arpeggio section because I like arpeggios (and post-minimalism). This is intentionally a Romantic era interpretation but I have done a lot of research into what a Baroque interpretation would sound like and I love the Morimur recording.
Bonus fun fact: Should you play all the notes in the chord for the same length? Should you try to make it sound like organ, since Bach played the organ? Should you just bring out important notes and drop the others? These are all matters of opinion fiercely debated in many articles from throughout the years that I read when doing research in grad school. My final opinion on the matter is that you should learn to play it in multiple styles but in the end, do whatever you want with it. :)
