Dear Alan,
I have a burning question:-
What is the piece that you finish chapter 13 "Grasping at the Piano"?
I thought it may be a Bach Prelude/Fugue, but I can't identify it.
I must learn this piece ----- Please Help!!!!
Regards

It is the Bach-Busoni chorale prelude, originally written for organ and transcribed for piano. Careful, it's not easy!

Alan,
Thank you so much for your reply!
I'd listened to all the Gminor/Bflat preludes and fugues and had come here as a last resort.
I've just been listening to the Paul Jacobs version, which whilst pleasant enough sounds 2-dimensional and emotionally flat compared to the extract you played... Yours is a 3-dimensional topographic emotional vista in comparison - if you haven't already, then you _must_ record it!
<<Careful, it's not easy!>>
Well that does it! I just have to have a go now...
Many thanks
