At the other end of the scale there’s the work of Canadian lawyer John Lewis Grant, which I came across in the heady days when mp3.comwas trying to be a forum for independent musical voices. Grant’s big musical obsession was with Bach, and, dissatisfied with his piano-playing ability, he worked in the digital domain, using a MIDI interface to control a “virtual” piano.

The sampling was done on a Bösendorfer Imperial grand, and the fine-tuning of nuances and dynamics carried out on a computer. You can find his work at pianosociety.com, where he suggests that his performance of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier may be “the most listened to account of the Well-Tempered on the internet, with about one million downloads of individual preludes and fugues”. He obviously hasn’t checked out YouTube.

I'd forgotten about John Lewis Grant. The internet was different back then!
