Two Bach related links this week! I came across this article about Bach on NPR this week. It is a long and pretty insightful interview with conductor John Eliot Gardner that gets into how we can gather ideas about Bach's personality and life from his music, with musical examples!
Also, a video below from Stephen Malinowski's youtube channel. It is a treasure trove of these amazing videos of classical pieces made with his music-animation software. I showed the Toccata and Fugue to my 3rd and 4th graders this week for Halloween and they were totally entranced by watching the colors and the shapes fly by. A great way to experience music!

Week 1
Here's an interesting article about how musicians are better at identifying and correcting mistakes than our non-musical peers.
Also I just finished the analysis class during Fall I and for those of you who have been there and struggled with set theory and Schoenberg and Bartok and Fibonacci and all that, here's a really cool video by Vi Hart that gets into it.
