Musical Insights

Was Bach the greatest composer?  We ask (and answer) this question in this episode, and we also take a look at some of the features that made Bach a great composer.

In this episode, we discuss various principles used in musical Interpretation, which is usually the last step (and unfortunately the most overlooked) in preparing a piece of music.  

In this episode, we discuss ideas on choosing a tempo marking when none is specifically stated in the score, as well as how to practice with the metronome.

Musical Insights documents the process of a non-classical musician creating his first classical album: a recording of the Bach Cello Suites transposed to hammered dulcimer. Upon the undertaking of this process, Benjamin Barker decided to share musical insights that he has learned by studying Bach and other musical journeys.
