Dear Vidas,

Thanks a lot for your advice about how to improvise Prelude in Bach’s style. It is very interesting and useful how the information is organized. I keep following you.

This conversation continues from previous podcast episode: AVA232 where David asked how often we improvise in a church service.

So...I keep hearing you and Ausra saying to improvise for service music during communion etc. How often do you improvise for a service? Every week? Once a month? That certainly seems much more doable than learning 27 pieces a month in the beginning... Though once the hymns are all learned, it would reduce to 11 per month to not repeat for 1 year.

Hi Vidas, ... It's hard to get Bach’s In dulci jubilo, BWV 608 from Orgelbuchlein up to speed .... 3 sharps and some significant contrary motion.

Pedal no issue but the left, right hand ... some serious reading there. 😊

Also wondering what concert tempo should be on the beat,.... the half notes.

....... Maybe it helps to figure out the chords progressions in this key.

Anyway I would classify this piece ' intermediate to advanced level ..... for me anyway!

By the way it really helps as in one of your last videos .... when you play it 1/2 tempo and have the camera covering from the top .... sort of a bird's eye view.

As well you can sort of see the pedal motion too.

...... Keep up the great work to both of you.

Greeting and blessings from Vancouver/Canada!

Robert
