Excellent!! I'll have to look into that Mearns arrangement of BWV 1007. I worked on that one for my RCM 8 exam - shameless plug, but a "final" recording from this time period is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpTm_J8p9eU It's far from perfect, but I'm proud of where I got it

Would love to connect over YT / Twitch / whatever and follow your journey! Happy trails to you too

That's fantastic. I don't do anything recorded and this HN account is the extent of my social media presence. Is that the RCM arrangement by McFadden? It has some additional cool ornamentation I didn't have in the version I got from the Wener edition. Yours has a few additional bars near the crescendo and the addition of some bass counterpoint on the low D that I am missing in my version. Mearns takes it to a totally different place to where it's a very different piece. I also really liked your glissando as it sustains and reveals the symmetry of the whole piece really well. Humbling and intriguing! Thank you for sharing it!
