NPR Tiny Desk Concert: Simone Dinnerstein, Bach Two-Part Inventions
In this incredibly great Tiny Desk Concert, piano virtuoso Simone Dinnerstein plays several of Johann Sebastian Bach’s infamously difficult Two-Part Inventions, and talks about the demands these pieces make on a pianist’s independence and musicality.
And wow, is she ever skilled in both of these. She takes a couple of these inventions at an insanely fast tempo; it’s exhilarating to watch.
