JOHN LEWIS GRANT JOHN GRANT TORONTO I’m into generating alternative interpretations of solo piano music in the classical repertoire. I got stuck on Bach’s Well-tempered Clavier (for various reasons) and never really got around to much else. Why MIDI? Simple, really. There are many, many ways of thinking about music, “analyzing it,” so to speak, and ultimately arriving at a particular conception. “MIDI” is simply one among many ways to think about a piece of music , and sometimes it’s quite useful. In my case, it allows me to see—and easily to manipulate—the structure of a piece of music as a whole. That’s important, in fact absolutely critical in the music of Bach. It’s very hard and time-consuming work to generate a conception of “the whole” at the piano. Incredibly time-consuming and for me virtually impossible. So MIDI—because it permits massive changes in no time at all—has been very useful. It allows me to say: “there’s how I think this music should go,” which I wouldn’t be able to do at the piano.
