In this second episode of "From Flat to Expressive", I take you through Bach’s Prelude in C minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book II. We’ll look at how to turn a performance that sounds “correct” but flat into something truly expressive — through articulation, timing, and focus on the notes that really matter.
I recorded this at the clavichord, in one take, without edits — so you can follow the real process of discovering the music.
