Yes... I need to play some Bach, are there any "easy" fugues or something I can attempt? I hate the inventions so no suggestions of those please.

How about some of the French Suites? Not sure if there's any fugues, but you can have a lot of fun with a Gigue Or how about some French Jazz written in the style of a Baroque Fugue: Bolling's "Bach to Swing" comes to mind

The suggestion of the French suite movements is a good one. Alternatively the preludes from the WTC are okay, the fugues are generally quite a bit harder, depends if you're troubled by playing one piece without the other....

The Aria that begins the Goldberg Variations is beautiful - I will send you a copy.

What about the Sarabande or Menuets I and II from the first Partitia? The Sarabandes from the second and fourth Partitias are also very beautiful without being too technically demanding. Sorry, not sure what standard you are on the piano, so I hope these suggestions are pitched at the right level.

Also some of the "Kleine präludien and fughetten" (translated: little preludes and little fuques, I think ) are quite nice. I like those a lot better than the inventions.

Why don't you have a bash on Bach's main instrument: the organ. I can send you some nice preludes and fugues and some trio sonatas to get you going

It's just like a piano, except there are less keys.

What I like about playing this type of thing on the organ is that something fairly simple can sound a lot more impressive than it would on the piano. Fughettas (little fugues?) are fun and quick to learn.
(Steve - I loooove the Aria from the Goldberg Variations. I was interested to hear from YAP that these were written as a means of sending an insomniac to sleep, which makes sense!)

As opposed to Mozart, of course . Indeed, one could say that Mozart has a slightly different effect .
