Summary of This Score

This diverse collection supports the student in discovering and deepening a stylistically informed interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard works. Through 27 carefully chosen excerpts, it features many short pieces particularly suited for daily practice: minuets, "short" preludes, and suite movements. The proposed repertoire allows exploration of different textures, characters, and dances, while developing hand independence, polyphonic clarity, and touch control.

The introduction is a real asset: it offers an in-depth discussion of essential elements in Bach's keyboard music, notably ornamentation (realization, intention, placement), rhythm and pulse, articulation (detached, legato, accentuation), tempo choices, as well as the use of dynamics to structure the discourse. Combined with the CD recorded by professionals, this approach helps the student connect listening to technique and build a more nuanced, singing, and coherent interpretation.

Pianist Scott Price, a recognized teacher and pedagogue, brings a clear and inspiring vision to the collection, ideal for progressing toward a more articulated sound and a better-mastered Baroque style on the piano.
