J. S. Bach: BWV 1007 Prelude in D

[cola326]

Bravo

[Hermeterec]

from Jose' Sepulveda, the hermeterec......dear Per Olav, you are one of the ones who got me started playing guitar, I so loved your playing! I listen to you on youtube all the time. Please tell where I can get your arrangements of BWV 1007 so I can play this much-loved piece. Your friend and admirer, Jose' hermeterec@gmail.com

[SeriousKnives]

I would love to play this song, but would I have to finger the notes or can I use a pick.

[matthewpaulpink]

Youre playing is so, i just wanna say its perfect. Youre phrasing for example is so tasteful and well placed. Your choice of transcriptions-not sure if thats yours or not but, its just got a really friendly and just a very appealing tone and feel. Obviously there are many versions, youve just made this piece so much more delightful Whats your secret?. Thanks!!

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks a lot Matthew.

Actually I have 3 versions of this on YouTube. (this is the worst, I think...)

Yes, it is my transcription. (see text below video).

I am very happy you listen to me. I have no secrets other than I have played all my life.

Merry Christmas.

Per-Olov

[ClevoMaiden]

If you're familiar with Steve Hackett/Genesis. His solo song called Horizons on the 1972 album Foxtrot is borrowed from this Prelude. Just figured that out!

[rodoempleo]

hola maestro toca estupendo muy buena su interpretacion felicidades de su admirador Aminadab

[TheLoyaltyy]

beuti

[cualquie]

Very good

[PanchoFugazi]

Congratulations my friend, greetings from Brazil!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! I am happy you listen to me.

Per-Olov

[dmitrit81]

Wonderful sound

[raffi719]

very nice playing and feeling. bravo

[ImCalebRosengard]

I know this song from somewhere...

[MrDjstrife]

I like this, my speakers do not. lol

[zerobertoballestra]

Muito bom mesmo! BRAVO!!!! Dedilhado impecável!

[claudiogoldman]

Pure beauty... delicious !

[MrTroll456]

The song was written in G Major bro transpose it to G major and repost. Kthxbye.

[Richter132435]

Played from the heart... Beautiful!

[KRUPOWIEJESA]

Nice playing, but I still wonder how do You manage to get so many viewers?! You outclass in this regard great masters of past, like Segovia, or masters of our times, like Dylla, Kuropaczewski. How, on earth, is this possible??

Don't get me wrong, Your playing is good quality as for an amateur.

Greetings from Poznań!

[Mariarel8]

Why is it that I always come back to this video? God save Bach.

[goliasfriend]

I'm just a young guy searching for Bach's music and I loved this interpretation. You have some good reasons to be proud of. Thank you Per-Olov :)

[ShadowDream66]

Beautifully played!!!



[isaiasmedeiros]

Definitivamente a melhor interpretação desta peça ao violão, parabéns.

[honduranhansens]

I have tried to learn this for years now...watch him. It looks like it is nothing. One beautiful song. Great no matter what it is played on.

[framaulo]

really good, excellent musician!

[DrFrankensteam]

Bravo!!!! Excellently played!!!

[Ugallardo]

Sounds beautiful...maybe I will learn this version, the Segovia version is too difficult... :P

[ewsflys]

beautiful, simply beautiful, thanks for sharing this

[schectermartin69]

nicce ur awesome gave a hobo 10 dollars today for playing this

[LarsBauer74]

Very nice! I love this prelude!

Your version/interpretation of it is beautiful!

[signofprophecies]

Very Beautiful !!!

[eloelo14]

you are truly amazing

[map2av]

Amazing! I have no idea why, but it made me cry. Gah!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you. Please smile! I am...

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[amadan9999]

@map2av

thats the beauty of getting "right into" the music.......

[Otaku4everMDS]

@map2av

Thats bachs magic...

[VERITS99]

@map2av Oddly enough, I feel the same way as you do. Probably it's because of the intensity and the enthusiasm by the performer.

[pthombeaux]

Having been working on this piece for the last several weeks, I am so happy to now have what I consider to be the gold standard for the guitar arrangement of it.  It was just so perfectly done and how I want my performance of it to sound! Thank you so much for your contribution, Per-Olov.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU! I am very happy you can use my arrangement!

Keep playing!

Per-Olov

[ericwongty]

how come people would dislike this (:

[AndanteLargo]

:-) Not every one has to like this...

Per-Olov

[akinnon2000]

@ericwongty They were looking for internet porn.

[xXxGoyexXx]

Have you ever tried the Prelude 1006??? Greetings from Costa Rica! Love your videos :)

[hmehrpouya]

wow you are a great artist. just checked your website and now listening to your Album "after silence" on spotify. great man. hope someday i can play the tunes you're playing. wish you all the best...

[hmehrpouya]

Very nice man. with the right feeling and classic accent. I'm currently practicing the same song.it's very lovely and again you played it very well. will let you know when i uploaded my version.

cheers!

[313r0n]

I don't know how, but it seems we are both attracted to the same kinds of music. After deciphering music scores, the fact I can look on your fingers and interpretation makes matters easier for me, especially since I am a self-learning man. Thanks a lot for posting your videos, they make me become better every day.

[s71222]

oh...I love it !!

[felixps0000]

la mia versione è troppo piccolo accanto ad essa il vostro. BRAVO !!!

[llanbradach]

Wonderful Peo, I am going to learn this on my guitar, I am always enthralled by your playing. How did I miss this, catch you soon.

[arseniyonline1234555]

you r not playing all the bass notes that you can do

[VUandChips]

Really sublime. I truly believe Bach would be happy to hear you play this.

[a8780001]

beautiful nuance, great playing, I enjoy your music very much

[aang609]

how could anyone dislike this

[MusicBR0S]

Been learning this on guitar for a school music assignment. Great to find a video to compare to keep it up :)

if you have the tabs could you please link them to me because i need the ending thanks

[aang609]

@MusicBR0S search it on ultimate guitar its fairly accurate

[Snipa31636]

Wow wonderfully played my friend

[ahaven12]

Awesome version. Thanks for inspiring me to dust off my classical guitar, I've relearned this after much effort...I have the Duarte revised transcription but have changed it up based on this video....@:15-:20 brilliant fingering.

[barrigudo00]

Muito bom, meus parabéns.

[ExOs308q]

Lol... it said 'All Lefts Reserved' instead of all rights. Lol.

[GabuchoPortilla]

En verdad eres excelente... Yo había tocado la canción varias veces pero hasta ahora no me sale perfecta, eres un gran ejemplo a seguir en guitarra clásica!!

You're really awesome... I've played that song many times, but even today I can't play it perfectly. You're a great example to follow on clasic guitar!!!

[Mr17071995]

Very nice, Per-Olov! I also have to play this. Congratulations.

[unameunavail]

Very moving and inspiring! I'm learning this piece right now, and your performance provides illumination.

[MercuryPrice]

wow..nice job n this one...

[amazingwave]

OMG have to learn this. Great performance

[MasterKyleTheGreat]

This man is made of Gold!

[ChrisW21341]

I've posted a video response of my version. Im using this as a university audition and was wondering if you could give me tips and advice?

all of your videos are outstanding, GREAT playing

[dodounightwish]

I played it About an year ago. I love your playing!

Merry christmas!! ((:

[delmago1]

beautiful playing! nice speed too

[watcher2987]

Bravo!

[shellshocked718]

Amazing!

[blndcrd74]

Am very pleased to have stumbled upon your videos. Have bought my 6yr old boy his first guitar for his birthday 5 days ago. After going through the most very basic of beginner steps, he likes to listen to your playing and knows with practice, hard work and love for music he can one day mimic those tunes. Thank you.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you! I am honored.

Please keep listening to me.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a musical 2011!

Per-Olov

[donrafa007]

@AndanteLargo Mr. Per Olov you're great I always listen to you, I am new in this classical guitar world and i would like to play like these. Very awesome! Congratulations!

[MrRicardo1962]

@blndcrd74 que bien si que si a ver tropezado si vale la pena para el alma

[masterooni]

I love your arrangements and your playing.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you!!

Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[teban1221]

I love this piece and tremendously enjoy hearing Yo Yo Ma play it on his cello, but this is probably the best guitar rendition I have heard. Each note is crisp, without any of the "raspiness" that happens when the string isn't firmly on the fret, which I hear with other players. And even the way the volume increases and decreases for certain passages really captures the emotion of this piece. Bravo, signore!

[Geistkampfer]

Brilliant!

[shibbydude77]

phenomenal... bach made the most beautiful music :)

[xXConfuocoXx]

loved this, you play it very well. Is the the j.w. duarte arrangement or did you do this one yourself?

[preludionostalgico]

Hi there, I play this prelude too, it's very nice although it's a bit difficult. Greetings from Colombia Maestro Kindgren. I was wondering if you knew where to find in the internet a music sheet I've been searching for a while without success. It's the 6 cafes pieces by Vojislav Ivanovic, and I only have found the book for sell but I need it for downloading. Thanks, you are a great guitar player!

[putt1505]

Peo, yes! long time! Very Very cold here in Chicago! I look forward to your video of Hallelujah and I hate those blasted copyright issues! I wish they would just go away because I would also love to have your arrangement for "Maria" from West Side Story. Just a pipe dream I know...sigh......

(((Sandy)))

[queenight]

Muito Bom!!!

Congratulation - From Brasil =)

[filippob8]

perfect!

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you!! Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[BlackHeartGuitar]

Hi, do you have a TAB sheet for this, and what is your website? I think you could also sell video lessons with the CD, cut into 4 or 5 sections. But you need to show the fingerboard up close, with markings, to make it simple.

Then, the Bach Lute prelude, difficult as this to just read the tab.

[cjwaywell]

Best I've ever heard it played, it takes me all of my time to learn a folk tune, how the heck you remember all of those notes just amazes me it's pure genius at work.

[viniguitarjazz]

BRAVO ! BÉLISSIMO !

PEACE AND BLESSING !

[y8yap]

i love you so much!!

[shovava13]

an old friend showed me this piece of art a few months ago, and I finally found it again!!!!thank you for your beautiful beautiful work!!! eize yafa meod!!!!

[theartofluv]

how come there are 25 people dislike? I don't understand. This is a marvelous piece of music.

[scdrummer68]

Your work is utterly brilliant, and from the comments I've seen on your postings, has inspired many many people. I am wondering if you have done this piece already perhaps... 'Hallelujah' by Leonard Cohen. A haunting and beautiful song that you would no doubt bring to life with your incredible talent. Have you any plans to release a CD of covers, or is that too complicated/expensive from a licensing standpoint? Cheers!

[AndanteLargo]

Hi there! Thank you for your kind comment. I am so fortunate to be able to inspire many players. Its good to know.

I actually made an arrangement of Hallelujah. I might post it soon here...

My2 latest CDs are with my own music because it is easier to record. You are right, it will be more complicated and expensive with covers. But I think I will do that too soon.

Per-Olov

[karmakomodia]

@AndanteLargo I hope you do.. I will love to hear your version of that brilliant piece!

[MusimaMusic]

Thanks for you briliant and perfect playing.

[MusimaMusic]

@AndanteLargo Thanks for you briliant and perfect playing.

[putt1505]

@AndanteLargo ....I just happened to spot this comment and I would like to second the motion of a Peo version of "Hallelujah". Please do it! And provide your arrangement in tab on your website too! Please??? By the way, I love how you play this Bach piece.....one of my favorites.

((((Sandy))))

[AndanteLargo]

Hi Sandy. Long time no see.

I might post my arrangement later. But I cannot promise anything. Selling it on my web shop is another matter. To do that, i need the rights... probably impossible to get...

Thank you for your kind comment.

Per-Olov

[catsfromhell1]

beautiful

[vicslashamazing]

simply perfect

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you very much.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[Chiffoneire]

i found your piece more floating and smooth thn Andres Segovia's piece on this.

[AndanteLargo]

:-) Thank you! i am happy you like my version.

Please keep listening to me.

Per-olov

[McFaegle]

There may come a day when I shall take the time to write a whole mail/mssg to put this into contex, but for now, please know that listening to you play has for the first time in over two years brought serenity to my mind. Thank you. You have the hands of an angel. v.v

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU!i am honored. It is great to know you feel something when I play this great piece by Bach.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[McFaegle]

@AndanteLargo It is what you feel when you play that brings tranquility to my mind. Subbed and will be listening to many more of your films.

[Rafax134]

bravissimo-espectacular

[AndanteLargo]

:-) thanks a lot!

Per-Olov

[Rafax134]

@AndanteLargo eu é que agradeço de por este vidio espectacular aqui-mais uma vez bravissimo

[cwjeon]

Dear AndateLargo,

I love your music very much. Do you have any plan to play Bach's Chaconne in D minor?

[van1976]

Wunderbar.

5*

--Van

[AndanteLargo]

Thanks Van!

Appreciated.

Per-Olov

[mythopoetica]

My jaw is dropping. This is such a beautiful classical guitar interpretation of one of my favourite Bach pieces. Bravo! I'm struggling with the minuets from BWV 1007 and there's no way I'll ever be as good! Just listening to this makes me want to practice more though ;)

[bidermaier]

ok, now we know how heaven sounds like

[Tamizushi]

Very beautiful I liked it. thumb up.

On another hand don't you think it's redundant to say "J. S. Bach: BWV" is a bit redundant because "BWV" means "Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis" which is redundant with "J. S. Bach" therefor it's redundant?

[unagondolaunremo]

you play very very well, but my question is: why guitarists play this piece never as is written?

[miguelcarvalho2008]

Brilliant! I just heard another arrangement for guitar - a very popular one - and this is so much more fluent, human, non-mechanic. I loved it!

[THELORDMORRISON]

is it possible to get tabs for this or any type of music, for guitar ofcourse. your help would be much appreciated. your playing is beautiful :) lots of emotion its awesome

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. Thank you. Yes you can find tabs and sheet music for my arrangement on my web shop. I hope you will find it and play it.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[brandonleetran]

@THELORDMORRISON Yep I bought it. I have been practicing this for about a month now. I have page 1 and 2 memorized hehe but it get's choppy and slow from there. I keep working on a couple of measures each day.

[EduardoBrasil10000]

Bach no violão me dá vontade de chorar.

[Mariarel8]

@EduardoBrasil10000

De felicidade?

[EduardoBrasil10000]

@Mariarel8 Nããããão, de dor de ouvido! Esse tal de Bach era muito medíocre. No violão, então...

rsrs Brincadeira. =) É que eu acho que ele parece mais contemporâneo no violão. As músicas Arioso e o 1º prelúdio do Cravo Bem temperado também são encantadoras nesse instrumento. A primeira, aliás, eu conheci pela voz de Caetano Veloso. Procure 'Céu de Santo Amaro' no YouTube. ;)

[Mariarel8]

@EduardoBrasil10000 Johann Sebastian Bach mediocre!!! O pai de todas as músicas!!! "todas as músicas que ainda hei-de ouvir...?" Ah, sim, ele tem alguma coisa do Caetano. Vou procurar o amigo do Chico (adoro Chico, adoro Jobim!), mas nossa! Chamar o Bach de mediocre! Não ouviu os "Concertos de Brademburgo"? Bach é Deus. Deus gostava de compor como Bach ('tá com inveja, viu...)

[EduardoBrasil10000]

@Mariarel8 "Deus gostava de compor como Bach" é ótimo. xD Ele é um bom compositor, claro, mas não diria que ele é o "pai" de todas as músicas. A música já existia quando ele era vivo e as dele não faziam sucesso. Ele só veio se tornar conhecido depois de morto por causa da propaganda de Mendelssohn.

Conhece Justin Bieber?

[Mariarel8]

@EduardoBrasil10000

Acho que Bach sim teve sucesso quando vivo, mas foi depois com o passo dos anos que ele se fez um compositor desconhecido, até que a sua "Paixão segundo Santo Mateo" foi resucitada pelo Mendelssonh. Eu já conhecia essa história, e me faz pensar na injustiça humana, e em quantos "Bachs" terão sido esquecidos ao lungo da História da Música e da Arte em geral, infelizmente para o mundo.

Não conheço o tal Bieber (o senhor me disculpe).

[Mariarel8]

"All lefts Reversed"??? :-)

[Mariarel8]

I absolutely loved the whole piece, but really -and I DO NOT exaggerate!- I had shivers from minute 2.08 till the end.

[brandonleetran]

You have inspired me to learn this song. I bought the tab from your site and it looks great! Now, this will take me about 6 months to learn hehe. That's my goal. Slow and steady.

[juronP]

Absolutely stunning! This prelude has such a wonderful lightness in it and you captured it perfectly!

[Pikangu]

Is this really your arrangement bcuz i have the same arr. in my book ? 

[huneyhunters]

Perfection!

[huneyhunters]

WOW! 0.0

[xSnoweyexp]

nice playing !! ur really a great classical musician !! thats for sure but why don't you play this prelude the segovia way :P i like his arangement with all the bass notes more too be honest

[thediehasbeencast]

absoloutley fantastic. How do you record your videos? you manage to record your sound so well! You inspire me to keep perfecting my playing, I have so much to do! Thankyou!

[blvesboy]

Brilliant!

[Carlomacb]

thats an excelent ejecution! good job

[MustafaGitar]

You are a great inspiration! Thank you for sharing this performance. Check my rendition on my page!

[worldinacup]

Very professional playing! Great version too!

[AwakePublius420]

Beautiful, thanks for posting. Bach is one of my favorite composers and I love his music in guitar.

[mdueri]

beautiful - there is nothing like a good interpretation of the greatest composer ever. Thank you so much.

[Kotahgreen118]

i can play this lol its really fun

[hstrath93]

check out my arrangement for guitar

v=U2pmB_FbbwA

[SaiyanCHW]

Andantelargo, i've noticed there's a different note between your interpretation and the ones from Segovia and Li Jie. Look at 0:55 in your video, 0:52 in Segovia's and 0:54 in Li Jie's.

Saludos desde Chile. Bonita interpretación!

[BeersontheMoon]

Olov, You are my stern but groovy master.

[DavesTrumpet]

Wow, this was really nice! Splendid indeed!!! Thanks for sharing this. I like your arrangement. The key of D obviously fits well and I'm certain dear ol' Johann Sebastian would certainly approve of the transcription. Like someone said below, you really brought Bach to life, and isn't that what music is all about?!

[TheReilly8]

loved this tune since i wathched this film called master and commander i can play it but nowhere near the degree of accuracy that u can good job

[SoftGuitar]

This is my favorite Bach piece...thank you for playing it so well on the guitar...you make us all proud to say we are guitarists.

[nutrientcobra]

Awesome control of the instrument Adante Largo.. Can you please tell me the maker of your fine guitars. Thanks

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. Thanks. This is a guitar i borrowed from a student of mine while mine was being serviced. It is an Alhambra 11p.

Please go to my web site at per-olovkindgren. com and see under guitar for more info in my own guitar(s).

Per-Olov

[JensHausmann]

Very well done, fluently and flowing as it should be, with solid rhythmic phrasing to it!

[Gfhdmn1]

Yes I loved it, and actually I play the classical guitar as well, I take lessons from a man who studied Andre Sagovia. I think i was very lucky to find my teacher and I plan to NEVER drop the guitar. Anyway I thought it was lovely.Keep playing.

[1enzeder]

really really cool. This piece falls easily under the fingers on cello, but looks fiendishly difficult on guitar. Very clever arrangement to get around some of the open string notes not available on guitar.

[vbpfynhjg]

is BWV 1007 in D?

and not in G?

[AndanteLargo]

:-) yes the original Cello version is in G. My arrangement of this is in D.

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[Via2Quito]

@AndanteLargo most guitar versions are in D..... 

[lozleigh]

You really brought Bach to life, brilliantly played.

[SalvadoreTimUrrr]

bravo excellente !

[wishwizard100]

Man, that's beautiful, buddy. So nice. thanks for posting this , I gotta go back and do this whole thing over, now. See what you've done? haha thanks again man.

[eb556]

I really love most of the versions you play of different classical pieces such as this; I have played other people's iterations of this piece and it just doesn't sound as good as this.

However, I find the sheet music/tabs on your website to be highly overpriced, especially since there is no cheaper 'package' deal if you buy more than one piece. I really want to learn this version of BWV 1007 Prelude, but I can't justify spending $10 on a single piece.

[DryRaven]

@eb556 I recommend using your own tab-machines (ears). ;)

[CIRQBOY]

i love this song! especially this version in D!

[bndshawn]

Who made the transcription?

[AndanteLargo]

Hi. It is my own arrangement/transcription. You can find it at my web shop at

per-olovkindgren. com if you want. Both as tab and as sheet music.

Thanks for listening! Appreciated.

Kind regards,

Per-Olov

[MrSimoaffy]

Now I've found you!!!

Congratulations Sir: this is wonderful and so it is the way you play "with" it...

The final part of this piece is one of my favorite of ever

GREAT

[AndanteLargo]

:-) YAY! You found me! :-) Thanks for listenign to me!

Kindly,

Per-olov

[singingabc123]

This might sound like a silly question, but do you think it would be more of a struggle to learn this piece without a classical guitar. I only have a Seagull (Mini jumbo).

[ThinkingDog06]

Beautiful -- very inspiring! Thank you.

[AndanteLargo]

Thank YOU!

Kindly,

Per-Olov

[xRA1D32x]

Per-Olov, that was masterful. this is one of my favorite songs and i am pleased to say that your version is my favorite

[AndanteLargo]

Thank you my friend. I am happy you liked my version.

All the best.

Per-olov

[pizquak1]

beautiful song

[minimusix]

wow .... you are awesome! i wish i could play like you!

where did you learn the music from?

[evertonmachado1]

Wonderful music. Do you use to play "Villa-Lobos"?

[evertonmachado1]

So nice melody. Do you use to play "Villa-Lobos"?

[insp96]

I love your music!

*-*

Fantastic!

Congratulations!
