The capo recreates the sonority of the open strings of the lute better than the nut. Thats why many great performers choose to use a capo for this piece, not for the key, that would be crazy, there where no electric tuners in those times, intruments could vary in tuning more than a interval of a fifth
plus, the capo "transpots" the whole piece 1 fret higher making it easier to play since the frets have a closer distance to each other than that of an "open" guitar (dunno if u get what I mean...) I play this piece too prelude,fugue and allegro and yes it is much more comfortable to your left hand with a capo, still it is very confusing if u use a fret mark on the 7th fret (like me...) btw, great playing and great instrument, Pavlos Gypas is great!
Sounds great to me! it is though that the rests in the bass line are Bach's representation of the very limited sustain of the lute's sound. In other words, Bach saying to us that it is ok if the sound fades between notes in the bass line since the lute cant sustain them. If so it doesn't mean it is better if you don't sustain the notes in the guitar.
Interesting theory. Although, I feel like it's too much of a shot in the dark to assume that Bach meant something other than an actual rest in the bass voice. If Bach is saying it is okay if the sound fades, why would he have notated rests?
You are very musical and have a good tone. But you are missing the bass stops in the prelude. I know they are difficult but Bach put them for a reason.
The open bass D for example. Some are not possible to sustain anyway. So it is consistent to stop them all when their time ends at 2 8ths. But hey otherwise you are very good with a possible bright future.
Well, I think I know already which basses you meant :-) I was reffering to your last sentence: "Bach put them for a reason" and asking, which reason did move him to write all the rests in a pedal. My opinion is that one should always know what he's playing and why. About my "bright future", I guess you are not referring to me ;-))
It is not possible to know or do anything fully. We can only try and improve if the passion is deep enough. I think the reason is that he wanted to bring out the voices in the treble by silencing the bass. The strange and difficult timing of the bass silencing (2 8ths) also helps to separate the bass.
You're very good. Especially when you played Fuoco. Good luck for your future :)
P.S - I envy you :)

Bravo mali! Allegro je vrlo zahtevan i odsviran beskrajno pedantno. Hoćemo čuti i fugu? :)

Beautifull playing. Very nice tone and frasing. Love the melancholy.
I have some bach on my channel as well. Check it out if you like. :)
