I am at the beginning of studying Bach and starting with 18 little preludes, specifically BWV 924.
The reason I am starting with Bach is that after much research, I find he really is the daddy of it all by having a mathematical approach to music. However, I am struggling to choose how to use the sustain pedal. Tried several combinations but somehow, I am not entirely satisfied with my choices. Does Bach mathematical approach mean it has to be used at a specific moment or should I choose when to use it? Is this the only bit I can choose to express how I feel the music or not? Since he is mathematically inclined, I want to check to do it right! See my confusion?
