Recordings
Bach Prelude
Glenn Gould - exciting tempo
Eunice Norton - good clear phrasing and color changes
Bach Fugue
Glenn Gould - good clear phrasing, can hear voices sing back and forth to each other in last stretto
Eunice Norton - not really a fan of the articulation, but interesting that you can hear which voice she is focusing on
Schubert - I. Allegro Moderato
Sviatoslav Richter - first theme more relaxed pace, then second theme moves a little more quickly
Chopin
Krystian Zimmerman - last page, crescendo on last flourish to low F#. Ornament in LH before first note of RH--sounds like morning/birds. Aim for very Light flourish.
