WHERE AM I?
I've set out to learn all 15 of Bach's Two Part Inventions. So far I've learned the notes for 9 of them, but different ones are in different conditions. It's time to take stock of where I am.
Numbers 2 and 5 have fallen into neglect like abandoned buildings. They're not my favorites, and I haven't been maintaining them. I really should repair them before they collapse.
Numbers 1, 4, 6, and 8 are in pretty good shape. I'm making music with them and refining the way I play them. Number 3 isn't far behind that group.
Numbers 7 and 9 are nearly where I want them as far as learning the notes goes, and I'm about ready to begin seriously honing and refining their musical aspects.
The bottom line: 7 coming along well, 2 in serious need of repair.
I think I'll begin learning number 10 soon. I feel the siren song of new territory. Maybe tomorrow. It's going to be a challenging one. Maybe I'll begin working on some of the tough spots in the background while I review numbers 2 and 5.
