Piano vs Harpsichord
editI changed "piano" to "keyboard". Can anyone verify the instrument for which this was actually written? (I suspect this is a harpsichord piece that has been miscategorized in modern listings, as is most of his father's harpsichord work.)70.179.20.157 (talk) 07:40, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Why does this say it requires trained dexterious fingers? I've only been playing Piano for a year and I can play this piece at about 80% speed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.29.31 (talk) 07:17, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I would like to agree with that; on the whole, this article (and the piece it describes) isn't exceptionally significant. If I were bolder, I would nominate it for deletion. I know I ought to improve the article instead of griping about it, but a few Google searches later turn up nothing but amateur recordings and pirated sheet music. Anyone know some good studies on CPE Bach? Maybe those could come in handy for this article. Danny Sepley (talk) 05:09, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Tempo
editI added the specific tempo of the piece -- It notates this as "Presto" on my copy, though I've seen multiple performances at a faster tempo; hence the note about Prestissimo. Webwyre (talk) 13:04, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- The piece is intended to be performed as fast as you can do it and maintain enough control to play it cleanly with the intended dynamics and feeling. It's why some think of it as a tocatta. By playing it fast, with all it's dynamics, you are showing your skill. 73.151.32.230 (talk) 20:20, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Links
editWhy is Phillip Sear a linked performance? No offense to him, but he does not play at a professional level. I suspect that he linked himself in order to increase his youtube views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.184.44.218 (talk) 14:22, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
References
editReferences are bare-bones and incomplete. Can anyone familiar with refs flesh them out? They are just a last name with a year, not so helpful with common last names like "Owens". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.202.149 (talk) 13:26, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
