  • Description

    'Ever since I was little, Johann Sebastian Bach has meant "music" to me. My mother always played the first and second book of preludes from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier at home. The first time I met my teacher Mithat Fenmen in 1946, I played some of these pieces for him by ear. When the lessons started, it became a source of pleasure for me to work with him. Sometimes, as a reward, he made me listen to Bach's works. One of the most memorable performances was Edwin Fischer's, the 12th Prelude and Fugue, in F minor, from Book II. I had listened to the 78 rpm record after a lesson and was fascinated by this work. When I came home, I was able to play the prelude from memory, but although I could hear the different sounds of the fugue in my head, I could not play it well with my technique at the time.' - Idil Biret Notes on Bach 2015
