<h2>Intro to the Fugue</h2>

<p>This episode of HPR is inspired by the recent release of a new recording by <a href="https://kimiko-piano.com/">Kimiko Ishizaka</a> of J.S. Bach's <a href="https://music.kimiko-piano.com/album/bach-well-tempered-clavier-book-1">Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I</a>. This is a very special recording because it is free and open, licensed to be shared freely forever. The recording was crowdfunded and immediately released with a public license after editing. This allows for legal remixing and sharing, and also makes it perfect for stuff like I do in this episode&mdash;cutting the recordings up for inserting as musical examples and then presenting the whole thing for your listening enjoyment.</p>
