I am thrilled to be featured on the new episode of The Piano Pod, airing May 20, 2025 at 8 PM NY time. Big thanks to Opoku Boadu who participated in our Mindful Practicing and Memorization Workshop for recommending me as a guest.
Yukimi Song’s questions made me realize that our collective “Bach Experience” needs to be considered more deeply. I am referring not to our listening experience but our music-making experience, that of being able to transmit his music through our bodies, brains and hearts, so to speak. It’s the desire to expand that experience for pianists of all levels that continuously motivate my piano transcription work. So many thanks to Yukimi for this talk and I am hoping to follow up with an essay in the near future.
In the meantime, enjoy The Piano Pod on all platforms, share this link with all your music-loving friends, and let us know what you think!
