Short post today, as all my free time has been spent playing my new piano! I am very excited to have a piano in my apartment and am really looking forward to learning new music and brushing up on old pieces that I haven’t played in months or years.

So ever since Saturday, Bach has been on my mind a lot, and today, I listened to and then played his “Prelude No. 1 in C Major BWV 846” quite a few times. This was one piece that, when I learned it pretty early on in my piano education (as it’s a very simple piece to play), I thought was extremely boring. But listening to it now, I can hardly imagine anything more beautiful. Even more than that, it’s like the essence of peace and calm, and I can certainly use more of that in my life right now, so I have a feeling I will be playing that piece a lot in the coming weeks.
