This Bach Gigue is beautiful and brilliant and is to be played as though you’re driving a Corvette. Right now, I’m playing it like a Model T...or maybe a horse drawn carriage. If you’re wondering, a gigue is a lively dance—a jig with a French accent. This is, as I tell my students, more like a dance lesson than an actual dance. That is the kindest thing I can say about this performance. At least it didn’t fall apart.
