J.S. Bach & improvisation solo project
I enjoy the music, and I find it rewarding to learn longer pieces by heart. Even if there are many elements in the music I can relate to, it’s also very different from most of my other work, stylistically and expression-wise. How can I utilize this music as a starting point for improvisation? Alternatively, can I make performative adjustments to make the music suitable for a more familiar language of mine? I will probably never reach a final conclusion in this process, but I finished a recording of Partita no 2 and Sonata no 1 during corona. There was no interest whatsoever from record companies.
