Prelude #6 BWV 851by J. S. Bach transcribed by Virginia Luque

[arfurlife]

having just discovered you playing leyenda I m onto your second video. I dont mean to be rude but I had never seen or heard of you before. Oh thanks be to God for youtube because now when ever I need extra special inspiration i can just watch you play. This is a beautiful video and filmed very tastefully. Just perfect for classical guitar. If you are touring the UK I must get to see you as you are a major talent. Yet again your playing is fabulous beyond words. excellent.

[resfalgio]

I love you, you are so beautiful...!

Psalm 33:2

Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

[aumjey]

Very nice music and talented person. Thanks

[migbern68]

I liked a lot your interpretation, very very skillful. I would like to have your guitar, it sounds very very Spaniard. Do you ever came to Canada? I hope so...just let me know when you come.. please. Thank you

[kei19690113]

Nice. Thank you. (TS)

[workedant]

This is such a hard arrangement to play . . . Very well done!!

[jorgebarnet]

Great performance! All the best I will be expecting the DVD

[Pacosebastianbach]

Nice interpretation, thank you Virginia.

[Mod74]

I can't stop listening to this piece, you really capture the feel of the original work in a way that I didn't think was possible on the guitar. I'm looking forward to your DVD and I hope you publish this amazing transcription. I will never be able to play it like you do but I will enjoy spending years getting it as close as possible. Bravo!!!!!!

[guitarfreak6]

Marvelous !

[NiucasOfficial]

I think I love you :)

[danjoeblue]

Nice Virginia! I have finally found this piece performed on a guitar on youtube. Thanks for posting. I know this is a very difficult piece. I learned the Parkening version some years back. Hearing your transcription makes me want to go play it again. Thanks!

[minnesotabongo]

for the life of me i ca see no difference between your transcription and parkening's fro 30+ years ago

i think your playing of chopin's waltz in c#mi is quite eye openiing,the best i've heard other than gentil montana

thanks

[VirginiaLuque]

@minnesotabongo

Thank you. My Prelude arrangement is in the same key as Parkening's, a good friend. I revised the entire piano score, followed note by note, adding essential basses for the bass lines. The most important work was the fingering that made possible the Prelude to be played at that speed and bring out the phrases clearly.

It was a lot of work. Two versions of a wonderful piece.

[minnesotabongo]

@minnesotabongo

Your hard work paid paid dividends.If I'm not mistaken,didn't maestro Parkening say that it's the toughest 2 pages in classical guitar literature?I find that Chopin and Mozart are the hardest to transcibe and be faithful to the original. But I get the most satisfaction working on J.S. Bach, as if the LORD's hand is resting on my shoulder. GOD bless you.

[jtlessons]

@minnesotabongo Nice take, this piece is 2 pages of hell...lol

[SandraFeetje]

Most excellent, meaning as well the musical performance as also (of course) the incredible way you shaped the applicatura of the left hand. I would have thought it impossible to sustain this stretching and ultra-rapid positioning throughout the whole prelude, but ... You Did It !

Bravo !!!

[jktaylor96]

Where can one get your transcription of this piece?

Thanks

James

[iamJROD]

You can order this piece of music from Guitar Solo Publications San Francisco Ca.

[jktaylor96]

Thank you very much!

[VirginiaLuque]

I will eventually publish. I will let you know in the channel, all right?.

To me this transcription I did was very adventurous because I had to change so many things in terms of fingering in order to be able to make it playable that hasn't been stopped since I started working on it. I can say it has been very

good source of knowledge for me in all this process.

Thanks for appreciating it.

Virginia Luque

[guitarprof]

Very nice! What camera and mics are you using to capture?

Phil Hemmo

[VirginiaLuque]

It was a professional dvd recorded with two professional cameras taking different angles. I am not aware of details in terms of equipment. Sorry

Thanks for your comment.

[GodDamnlt]

[lachc84]

[qnguyen268]

bravo!!!!!!

[reliablebow]

Amazing....beautifully and lovingly played

[retsmah24]

this looks like The most annoying thing to ever play on this instrument.

[rickovvip]

hey .. how to get the partiture ?

[iamJROD]

I always liked this piece. A friend of mine use to play it for me.Every time i asked him to play it,he took a deep breath. I could tell its a demanding piece.

[gallito1010]

if you can play Bach.........you can play anything !!!

[Akerfeldtfan]

Incredibly technical! Your ability shines here, and it is clear that you spent a ton of time arranging this so it wold be as musical as possible.

[RaDi486]

Amazing!! I'm triyng to do it but I can't!!! it's too dificult!!

[rynam1217]

Here we have another amazing proof of her great quality as a musician, how with this 'transcription for this prelude' (a challenging one on the guitar), she is mastering it virtually with all the possibilities of her guitar by playing her truly personal interpretation of this 'prelude' with enormous

artistic integrity that the pressure of a piece of music like this, demands. Hermosa transcripción, 'intensa y colorida', genial!

[barrios123]

Amazing once again. Wonderful music by a very talented individual. Thank you.

[shadowbot09]

OMFG so Great ! 5 stars + sub. Awesome playing !

[marlonguitarist]

Dazzling!

[waspoza]

Beautiful music, and beautiful woman. Amazing.

Videos like this are slowly restoring my faith in humanity. Thank you.

[TVGal901]

Magnificent as always! Thank you Virginia - for your music, exceptional skills and passion! You are the very best!

[bavlara]

This is superb. I enjoyed every single note of it. She is seriously talented and beautiful too!!

[googunge]

Thanks Virginia. Never heard that one done before! I`ll be having that DVD when its released.

[jons142000]

Holy smokes ! I dont think this piece has ever been recorded live - or played in concert live. And you can see here why. Great job...this player has an incredible future...and she composes brilliantly as well.

[ftcs66]
