What happens if I have to stop and turn the pages? 😂

The piece I was playing was not Ave Maria; it's the first piece in the Well-tempered Clavier written by Johann Sebastian Bach; Ave Maria was born when a French composer liked this piece and put a melody and words to this existing piece, treating the piece like an accompaniment. The set of the Well-Tempered Clavier contains 48 pairs of Preludes and Fugues—24 each book because it's divided into two books. What I was playing in this recording is Prelude number 1 from book 1.

The problem with braille scores is that they requires more paper! The one I was playing in that recording above—I still have the score right here now—it's printed single-sided, meaning it waists even more paper than double-sided braille! In fact, this whole set that I have here is printed single-sided! Can you imagine how lighter this thing is if it were printed double-sided? This set has 8 volumes in single-sided braille, and it's heavy and huge!

I'm not sighted. The reason I thought of recording this was because I was puzzled by the fact that we blind musicians never sight-read, so we wouldn't have a problem with page-turning 😂.

I mean it sounds much better if I play all the way through without stopping like that 😂, and btw, I can do it 😂!
