SUGGESTED HOST INTRO

If you ever played piano, chances are you played at least one of the Two or Three-Part Inventions by Bach.  Pianist Till Fellner says part of their charm is their brevity...and part of their difficulty is their brevity.


Till Fellner Clip:

"The problem with the Inventions is that the pieces are extremely short.  From the first note you have to find the right character otherwise the piece is over, you know?  And this is one of the big problems with the Inventions.  It's very concentrated music, few notes, but so much content, you know?  Every minute it's a new character."


SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO

Pianist Till Fellner says he likes finding those characters – even though they're constantly changing. That's his "job," he says.  Let's hear how he captures the character from the very first note.  (Introduce Inventions of choice.)
