Personal Message Miriam Fried

"Let’s familiarize ourselves with the life and times of Bach. I cannot imagine a more deeply felt, almost religious experience than playing the Chaconne or any other famous solo Bach Partitas and Sonatas.

I felt it as my mission to decipher the mathematical puzzle of his works, unlock the gate, and release the wealth of emotion hidden. I believe a thorough understanding of the style and an exploration of Bach's intentions as manifested in the music's inner life are essential to enjoying this music. I worked for more than one year on these lectures to help you understand the beautiful and immense world of Bach’s music, and I am very excited to share it now with you!

Let's explore together and join me on this wonderful journey.  Discover new and interesting facts about Bach and his music. You will never play his music in the same way again."
