Ya know what? You don't know what you sent...the first part was the correct
version of "Air" but it went immediately into a boogie thing....I think you
may have loaded a file on top of your "Air" file....I thought you were
referring to the following boogie thing as being an attempt at a variation
in boogie rhythm....Sorry...you did a very good job on the note for note
"Air" I'm impressed that you've come this far with your piano studies and
certainly was not being derogatory of the Bach in its' natural form...only
of the attached boogie stuff...

Bach's Air on the G String is one of my favorite pieces...I
don't,however,
have appreciation for it with a boogie baseline beat....

That's a very interesting comment. I wasn't aware that I had put a boogie
beat on the bass. In fact, I've used the metronome to try to make sure
that
I play it correctly. I've really worked hard to get the bass correct.


Does it really seem to have a boogie beat the whole way through?



It's the same with
others who have tried to improve on what's already perfect....why? Why
take
something that's beautiful and turn it into something else?

I wasn't trying to improve on it. I really thought that I was playing it
"note for note".

I thought that my demonstration would show that Bach was the father of
modern blues. Bach was one of the first composers to make use of the
"chordal progression" which is the foundation upon which blues, jazz, and
rock is based.


Also, I've recently been learning a Bach piece that seems to be the
inspiration for one of Pink Floyd's songs.


Instead, write
your own rather than changing what someone else has created....

Honestly, I didn't think that I had changed it. I played it to the best
of
my ability.


BTW, if you
like that piece, you would probably really like barber's Adagio for
Strings,....


I do............
