00:00:00,191  -->  00:00:03,099
Bach Prelude in C minor.
2

2

00:00:03,099  -->  00:00:05,340
This prelude is not as
daunting as it looks.
3

3

00:00:05,340  -->  00:00:09,970
It's very similar to the Bach Prelude in
C major you'd learned at the start of
4

4

00:00:09,970  -->  00:00:10,622
the book.
5

5

00:00:10,622  -->  00:00:12,886
Now, it's got a repeat pattern every bar.
6

6

00:00:12,886  -->  00:00:15,788
So each bar uses similar 12-note pattern,
and
7

7

00:00:15,788  -->  00:00:18,770
many of the notes within
the pattern are repeated.
8

8

00:00:19,886  -->  00:00:21,851
So once you've found the notes for
9

9

00:00:21,851  -->  00:00:25,927
the bar, you can lock your fingers
in position, and play the pattern.
10

10

00:00:25,927  -->  00:00:29,584
And look ahead, you've got time
to look ahead for the change for
11

11

00:00:29,584  -->  00:00:31,151
the notes for the next bar.
12

12

00:00:31,151  -->  00:00:34,878
Keep the pedal down over each bar,
and then lift, put it down for
13

13

00:00:34,878  -->  00:00:38,836
the next bar and lift, put it down for
the bar after that, and so on.
14

14

00:00:38,836  -->  00:00:45,874
For the first two bars, just lock your
fingers over C minor, both hands.

00:00:45,874  -->  00:00:55,874

00:01:16,145  -->  00:01:18,060
And so on.
