How would you like your Bach played?

It takes courage to change or at least to try to do things differently… especially if you have been doing things ‘your way’ for a long time. 

We all have a set of perceptions, a picture we think other people have of us. We are afraid that the type of relationship we have with them will change, if we change that perception, 

For example it is hard for a classical pianist to suddenly play jazz on the concerts. Only few could show that courage without being afraid of getting pinned down as unsuccessful in playing classical music. One also has to remember that playing jazz requires a totally different capability than playing classical music.

The same is true for business people. They are conducting their business in a certain way based on their own experience. When they come to us looking for partners to grow their companies, we ask them among others the following question: “Are you ready to change? A partnership might change the way you do things.” 

As to liking Bach, maybe you don’t. To check if you’d change your mind after you listen to Bach played in jazz format, you might want to listen to the oldie below. :-) 

The oldie of the week: Bach (Pekinels with Jacques Loussier Trio) - Concerto in D minor BWV 1063  (1733)
