⚠️ Danger warning in studies on emotional repression, pertaining to false standard 4 teaching BACH

The Ebook by Rozalina Gutman “Paradox of Invisible Dissonance in Fugue-Parody by J.S.Bach” is related to her discovery of perception paradox of collective blind spot over defiantly used dissonant sonorities and related discrepancies of various teaching aids for Bach. 

This epiphany manifested as the result of pain-forced, intuitive decision to abolish common, yet FALSE and based on biographical distortions standard for piano performance of Bach’s music, that falsely normalized emotional withholding. 

And, in the course of Empirical Self-Reflection, it also proved to be resonant to various research studies on the significant health hazards of emotional repression. (The above mentioned Ebook by Rozalina Gutman provides links to studies for additional convenience.)

Enjoyment of BALANCED involvement with emotionally infused and analytically engaging polyphony of Bach manifested the shift into balanced, integrative and generative  Eureka-cognition, leading to the capacity to overcome false collective blind spots and stereotypes in reviewed discoveries of Rozalina Gutman.  

This intentional capacity of his music had been largely obscured by mechanical performances, that unfairly  oversimplified and stripped off resonance to the intended immense beauty  and intellectual delight, designed with mastery by genius composer.

Readers of the ebook get the chance to grasp the insights of the author on the hidden in plain sight , unique and innovative  design of Bach’s didactic exercise for overcoming zombification in music and developing the skills for using nuanced dynamics for creating emotional resonance to composer’s sense of humor.  It was of great importance to help  keyboard players to shift from the technique for instruments with no/limited capacity for dynamics to hammer-based and gravit-powered action of newly emerging fortepiano (Piano et forte).  It was also critical for assuring for sustainability of hammer clavier that allowed Bach to compose polyphonic music with far more complex texture than most of his contemporaries. Dynamics provided the necessary sonic depth for clarity of layers. And the instrument that could model the sound of voice and orchestra instruments, could be capable of emotional resonance unlike its predecessors keyboards with limitations of inferior design

Tradition of political correctness and manipulative biographical distortions of his legacy abused the trust of many musicians, revealing unapologetic cruelty of planting lifelong cognitive dissonance among millions of young music students, that had become evident from the staggering trend of collective blind spot of paradoxical disability to see and to hear defiantly employed dissonant Cluster chords by the insightful Master teacher of all music educators Bach.

The unique design of the piece by this genius of pedagogy allows for quite simple relief for the MORAL DILEMMA of Bach’s Laughter Manifesto: 

1. to play it according to Bach’s spelled out in notation intentions of emboldened parody on dogma for emotional repression, while laughing in his company, OR 
2. to continue to stick to the flawed, boring, illogical, oversimplifying polyphonic complex beauty, primitive, yet widespread dogma, that had been paradoxically enforced by the FALSE AND HAZARDOUS for health of musicians educational standard. 

These emotional challenges can be faced with more ease through Bach-led humor-based self-reflection. It is of critical importance at the time of the demand for the proof of intellectual leadership of every member of music academia community, that now depends on their passing of this Bach’s Test for the Resilience to the Moral Atrocity Culture, presented to students of his scores.

And such urgent clarity challenge is due to the need to overcome the tradition of political correctness, that was allowed to distort and delete many aspects of Bach’s legacy of the Advocate for Humanity, suffering from the lifelong witch hunt by the stigma of convict, caused by the UNFAIR imprisonment, in retaliation to his genius innovations, forced into the least valued by society job of music educator. It was due to the outrageous fact, that Bach could not afford legal defense from dire human rights violations. Bach had to endure such treachery, since he could not afford effective legal defense against dire human rights violations. This provided the emotional context for his prolific didactic cycle of Well Tempered Clavier - the link also readily and paradoxically deleted in the coverage of his legacy(!)
