don't give a hoot if it's "authentic", really like this freer rhythmic approach to the inventions tempo & ornaments. beautiful. (<;

Poetic License:  Yes and yes! Otherwise i would be under musical arrest from the musical powers that be. I enjoyed your interpretation.

A Baroque piece infused with romantic tempo. I like it!

well this is quite a Romantic approach to Baroque music Paul. But beautiful done! Like Glenn Gould I share his opinion that everyone has the possibility to interpret Bach in his own way, just because this music is universal. The only restriction is that it must be musically convincing. I think you did the right! bravo! 🎶🌹🎻

Beautiful imaginative playing, everything flows greatly

you bring out the emotion inherent in the music. best ignore any baroque style "authenticity" police. no one knows how JSB really might have played it. i love this. (<;

Extraordinary play with lyrical statements in the interpretation of Bach

Relatively compliant with Johann’s score (so far as you know)….poetic licence (ie a coach and horses) appear to have been driven through certain measures (and to a lesser extent, dynamic range notation), in response to which I rely upon, by way of mitigation, the excuse that Rubato made me do it (rhythmic shaping and/or contortion of tempo within the otherwise static/prescriptive confines of selectively iterated measures). Can roses grow, from the ashes of my Rubato sins? Read on.

Part II (not yet posted) will comprise variations on this same piece. Fasten your seatbelt. Estimated completion date 20 July 2023.

I heard variations singing in my mind, when rubato ran amok. Hopefully it will all make sense when the variations are complete, though in all likelihood, it will not (make sense).

Inspired by a miraculous performance of JS Bach by French composer pianist and flautist Douvin. Your time is better spent hearing Douvin's piece, which is here, the work of a true master. J'adore Douvin. Everything he does is breathtakingly beautiful.
