Hey, Fellow "Nerds" Out There: Got Fandoms?

The canzona takes chances in places i didn’t expect. the part with the two trills in the first third got my ears primed for a late 1700’s motif, but then didn’t i hear either fourths in two voices and shortly thereafter a number of half step chords. i’ve only listened once, but didn’t i hear expositions of the initial melody repeated in a fugue like manner?

play it faster. the surprises are musical flavor, and i think they would be better suited as fleeting and exciting. i’d like to hear this played at a tempo closer to Fugue in D minor, BWV 538, as opposed to the little fugue.

but seriously, you have a hell of a lot of both talent, dedication, practice, and domain expertise.
