Quite aside from the sound of Bach's music there is the beauty in the patterns that the fingers must make on the keys to produce the sounds. It is a pleasure in itself to shape the fingers into the flowing geometric figures called for. Discovering these patterns, this fresh kaleidoscope of new-born forms, produces a deep inner delight for me at my piano.

Someone, somewhere said 'Music is work at play' - for me that is a quintessential connection that must be made to play any music, really, but especially J.S. Bach. I heartily agree and like this post.
