“There are no rules in Bach.” For Simone Dinnerstein, there is no one right way to play Bach – or any piece for that matter. There are no rules, but you may establish your own through an endlessly renewable process of experimentation. Therein lies the pleasure of being a musician.
In these segments, taken from a 2-hour tonebase special feature, Dinnerstein experiments with articulation and phrasing in the first movement of J.S. Bach's Keyboard Concerto in D Minor, BWV 1052.
Violinist Rebecca Fischer joins her in this process of trial and error, exploration and discovery, culminating in a rehearsal with the principal string players of Ensemble Baroklyn.
