Why did Bach use C# for prelude and fugue 3 in the Well Tempered Clavier (BWV 848) instead of Db? I think it would be easier to read in Db.

"The first single from Mahan Esfahani's survey of Book 1 of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier: this lyrical Prelude in F minor, BWV857, is written in the style of an allemande and comes at the mid-point in Book 1.
Here, Mahan plays on a double-manual German harpsichord built by Huw Saunders, the instrument being a modern-day copy of an instrument that is thought to have belonged to Bach himself."

"Christopher O’Riley’s THE WELL-TEMPERED CLAVIER BOOK I - delves into the subtle intricacies of Bach’s famous masterwork, revealing the composer’s nuanced craftsmanship through an exploration of the spaces between notes. Inspired by Bach’s profound lyricism and informed by historical insights, O’Riley’s interpretation transcends conventional keyboard traditions." #bachonpiano #JSBach #welltemperedclavier

A little Glenn Gould on the turntable in a cool basement on a hot day.

The ol’ turntable still turns. I’ve never recapped it or cleaned the pots. I probably should.

@[email protected] Good question! U.S. corporations are legal persons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_person). It derived from U.S. Supreme Court challenges to the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (free speech) - largely orchestrated by Mitch McConnell (R-TN).

As legal persons, campaign finance challenges were enabled (e.g.) Citizens United v. FEC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC) that opened the "dark money" floodgates.

The consequences have been catastrophic.

playing #jsbach in delirium a world ago on 2020 January 12 after getting to see one of my favorite #baroque ensembles all the way from Italy *Concerto Italiano* perform. live music is the essence. it is the vibration. it is the healing. it is the transmission. the altercation. the galvanizing force.
