Rather reminds me of a music box with a dancing balerina or a a little girl dancing to the musical theme. I have heard this one before, and never on a harpsicord. I have heard it on an organ. Like the enthusiasm that you put into this fugue. It makes it a joyful experience to hear.
An anemic delivery, constantly spastically dragging both tempo and phrasing, disrupting each phrase and with it much of the piece's ideational content, in the name of "expressivity". Truly sad, from a supposedly professional harpsichordist who ought to have a better grasp of the meaning of "notes inegales".
Thanks for your comment. You probably mean that most performances of this famous piece are played rather straightforward. My performance is a bit of an exception. I personally am not a fan of tight and metronomic playing.
@@GerardvanR Thank you for taking the trouble to answer. Not all posters are so considerate. I'm not necessarily a fan of tight and metronomic playing myself. There is always room for some rubato. The only apparent difference between our viewpoints is a matter of degree of rubato. I can agree to disagree with the extent of yours.
Well played!
Thanks!!!

Bravo, Gerard! :-)
Is it possible to have the sheet music for this please?
