Bach Prelude in C minor. 2 2
This prelude is not as daunting as it looks. 3 3
It's very similar to the Bach Prelude in C major you'd learned at the start of 4 4
the book. 5 5
Now, it's got a repeat pattern every bar. 6 6
So each bar uses similar 12-note pattern, and 7 7
many of the notes within the pattern are repeated. 8 8
So once you've found the notes for 9 9
the bar, you can lock your fingers in position, and play the pattern. 10 10
And look ahead, you've got time to look ahead for the change for 11 11
the notes for the next bar. 12 12
Keep the pedal down over each bar, and then lift, put it down for 13 13
the next bar and lift, put it down for the bar after that, and so on. 14 14
For the first two bars, just lock your fingers over C minor, both hands. 15 15
[MUSIC] 16 16
And so on.
