Why is it So Hard to Find a Good Copy of Prelude in C?
I'm spending more than five or ten minutes at the piano for the first time since my dad died, and it feels really good.
It was also feeling confusing because the final -fanfare? flourish? I don't know the right term - of the last two measures of Bach's Prelude in C just wasn't sounding right. I decided I had to watch someone play it so I pulled up Rousseau's rendition on Youtube and it didn't match my sheet music. I looked for other copies of the sheet music and *they* didn't match my sheet music.
In measure 33, my sheet (copyright MichaelKravchuk.com: I printed a new one because the other one disappeared in the move) says the left hand plays B B C as a slur. In all the other versions I just looked at, it plays a tied C C C. It seems that even though I'd printed a copy without that annoying Schwenck measure, it had this error instead!
