Nicely done man. Nice balance between the voices overall, but some of the moving lines in the inner voices tend to get lost at points. I'd recommend placing your right hand back a bit so it's not covering the sound hole. You play pretty parallel to the strings so you'll still get a nice tone, and it will help distinguish the voices more (and will also sound more stylistic for the period).
Just a couple suggestions. This is a very difficult piece and you play it beautifully. Keep it up!
Great job Hans Garon. This piece is very intricate (especially respecting the left hand) and you've executed it magnificently. And you have it memorized!
This is beautiful piece and well played, don't listen to negative posts, Bach himself knew the complexity of his music, and wrote about it often. The main objective, that is, bringing this work to life, I would say you have wrestled down the spirit of this prism further than beyond others I've heard. Those other posters...perhaps we can see your version posted here on Youtube as a video response (ya!)
That must be it,anyway,this is a fascinating piece to play(trying,that is.for me)It´s all about getting real used to it,i guess.I see that you don´t alway´s play excactly by the book,one has to adopt it to some kind of personal style,i guess.
Hi!As you ,I´ve required the Frank Koonce-book.Something that confuses me is something they refer to as a "double-stop" :note marked by [. Do you know what they mean by that?
Thanks anyway! This must be the most polyphonic guitar-music in history!
Hi! I´ve just started practising this again, accordingly to the Koonce-book,but listening to Jakob Lindberg and he does it slightly different.Nice to see and hear your version so smooth and sounding so good! Don´t think I´ll ever have the strenght to finish it though.Thanks anyhow!
Great job!! This is my all time favorite piece to play by Bach. Wonderful interpretation, very clean playing. In my book this is the big one to play - I like to play the prelude-fugue as one piece using the Willard notation. Again, bravo!
Hi,I´ve finally got hold of Frank Koonce´s book containing this.A.o. Am not absolute positive on notation for the fingerings though,sometimes it´s hard to know(in bwv 1000)if chords to be played in 3rd pos.or 7th by just reading left-hand fingerings.Anyway,I only change my old fingerins when really necessary.Thanks anyhow!
Sorry, I gave you some bad advice before. The book is edited by Frank Koonce. I was thinking of the Villa-Lobos book before. I think it's published by Neil A. Kjos. Best of luck!
Hi! How many hours approximately did you practice to get this right?
I´ve only started it,but didn´t have strenght and time to go on,it was also difficult because I only had notation for flute and guitar in d-minor,and I had started it on my own in c-minor.
Wonderful fugue by Bach this one,my favourit.With darkness and despair being expressed.Anyway,does fugues have any special harmony to be considered(besides contrapunct)like jazz or blues-harmony?
amateur hour huh? just kidding...very musical and flowing and calming and surreal and chill and smooth and relaxing and touching and two girls 1 cup. good job sir
Thanks! I didn't think I'd ever remember it either. This fingering is the Noad first edition fingering with a few changes, but the Noad second edition is probably just as good.
everytime i see you playin it it gets better man. The video looks awsome and it sounds fantastic, that minidisc condenser mic really does the job well. you should try and record the prelude too and/or the brower pieces or other stuff you're working on that you can throw up here
incredible work!

The way i see it the second voice enters in rhe second or is it the the third bar,on the c-note versus f#;it`s a dseptim chord lacking the tonic

I think what you're talking about is just a 2-string bar or hinge bar.

What key is this played in?
pracpig 4 years ago
This is in A minor for guitar, but it's so chromatic that it wanders around.
hcgaron 4 years ago
@hcgaron It is for Lautenklavier (Lute-Harpsichord) originally. And also in C-Minor scale.
Don't waste da beautiful musique with guitar. Play lute or lautenklavier for this.
