This is J. S. Bach's Prelude in D Minor. It's heavy on the fingering and I think it will be helpful in preparation for Chopin's Minute Waltz, which I'll have to play about 1/3 of the way into the Fifth Grade Book. But I haven't really been finding this Prelude very inspiring. It's the style though. Baroque isn't my favourite. So I've been sort of stuck in the first two bars, which are actually pretty challenging technically. Just getting those strange patterns in one hand is hard enough. Getting them in both--murder. Needless to say I've been doing some mindless repetition. Menuetto took a really long time to learn, and it seems this one will too.
