Playing Classical Music in A Major Measures 35-End

So now we have the last couple measures here. Notice now we have a whole note, which has this dotted quarter tied to a dotted half note, so this gets four beats and this gets three and three-fourth beats. So it's one-E-and-a, two-E-and-a, three-E-and-a, and you have this nice run in the left hand. Again, we're really down there, but easiest way to do it is read by intervals so you have A, so your one, then a third below and a third below so this is a six and a four. So you have four, six, one, up to four, one, six, one, six, four, six, four, two, four, two. So by reading a pattern you make all this tricky low stuff rather easy. You just got to get over the pattern. And we start out here, same bass line, now we're starting on the five, seven, two, four, two, seven, two, seven, five, seven, two, four, three, two, and then you end on this nice three, five, one triad. So we're going to play that now, as you watch my hands. I'm going to start it way down here on the four. So a nice little cadenza ending to our Bach prelude.
