[Quijote]

Listening to a deafening silence on the part of Roehre. Where is the fellow, should be back by now.

[Peter]

Prompted by another thread: Bach's Partita No. 1 in B flat.

A joy! The Jig is unlike any other he wrote and is frequently played too fast.

[Peter]

Listening to a deafening silence on the part of Roehre. Where is the fellow, should be back by now.

Yes he's had his 4'33

[Quijote]

A joy! The Jig is unlike any other he wrote and is frequently played too fast.

Jig? Surely you mean ... ah! ... this could be a pointer to your devious mind in the up-coming CM Teasers, no?

[Quijote]

A joy! The Jig is unlike any other he wrote and is frequently played too fast.

How fast should one take a Gigue? Should we keep to a "danceable" pace? Probably! But then again, back in those days maybe they danced differently!

[Sorrano]

Perhaps that depends on the age of the person dancing?

[Quijote]

Perhaps that depends on the age of the person dancing?

Precisely! Gigue becomes dirge after the age of 50 !!!!!

[Peter]

Maybe, but as I mentioned this one is quite different from the norm being in common time.

[Quijote]

Maybe, but as I mentioned this one is quite different from the norm being in common time.

Not being in compound time perhaps Bach had laid off the booze for that one.

[Michael]

A joy! The Jig is unlike any other he wrote and is frequently played too fast.

Being Irish, no Jig is too fast for me!
