Not like a trained bird
Concert program for Traverso and Harpsichord on works by C.P.E. Bach
“All these ornaments must be performed so smoothly that one would think one hears only simple notes. This requires a freedom that excludes everything slavish and mechanical. One must play from the soul and not like a trained bird.”
C.P.E. Bach, Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen (1753)
