i love it that Breams has such a pure passion and love for the music is playing. when i listen to this the music touches something in side me. I'm 15, and to me bach is the greatest music around...
Continued: basically, Bach is several different chords, played at the same time. But a good guitarist can, from these chords, make two different melodies stand out. So there are different melodies you hear, not few chords. Now THIS is very the difficult thing is. To make every melody clear and keep them together. If there is only some chords with a melody - that is easy peasy. When you have many melodies and make them clear and loud - difficult.
The difficult thing with playing Bach is not technical quick stuff, like difficult legatos or whatever. The difficult thing, is to keep all different melodies flowing independently. For instance, to really hear the base melody, keep it together and flowing gently. It should be like several independent guitarists playing each melody, together. This is very difficult, and you need extremely good technique to do this. Otherwise, it will just be several different chords played together, no melodies.
does anyone know what the HECK he is playing in the first few measure???? its not even close to the sheet.. i love it but its def different then what's written.. is he improvising that?? or maybe he started it with a later section? beautiful.. but confusing
@strazza555 Look up "Violin Sonata Songsterr", pick the one on songsterr and you'll see its pretty much the same. Whatever you have is a special interpretation...
There is a huge difference between being able to pick the notes and play well. If you can pull this off after 4 years of playing you are a Virtuoso. This was not written to easily flow with the layout of a guitar the fingering is extreme and the dexterity requiered is more like many years of playing - again simply making through something (that is an accomplishment on this one) and actually playing well are 2 different animals
He isn't playing the transcription of the fugue from the 1st violin sonata bwv1001
he is playing the fugue bwv1000, which is a transcription bach made from the from the 1st violin sonata bwv1001 from which he extracted this fugue bwv1000, fugue from which julian is playing a transcription in A minor, one step higher than the fugue from which he transcripted the fugue he is playing, the former being itself a transcription from the fugue bwv1001 from which Bach extracted the fugue bwv1001.
@muurtalo This is the BWV 1000, written for the lute, and not,as stated by MonteverdiXVI, the BWV 1001, which was written for the violin. They have similar elements but are different works.
@MrArdelco1970 Pues por curioso que parezca, de acuerdo con Wikipedia, esta pieza sí fué escrita para el laud xD El nombre de esta obra es Fuga en sol menor BWV1000, escrita para laud. Este es un extracto de la sonata en sol menor BWV1001 para el violín... solo que Bach re-escribió esta parte para el laud, tal vez por eso se oye así xP
@RoyVanNistelrooij :O gracias por el dato, pues yo siempre la he oido en violino o me he confundido con la 1006 xD es que ahce poco estuve viendo los K y los kv de mozart y ya me lokeé xD Gracias igual :D
@guitarmachine13 That's what gives Bach's music the penultimate level of unity of purpose & design. It's not just a random process, but every moment leads from the moment before to the moment after.
Julian Bream show us how to use tonal changes in complete harmony with the composition, J.S. Bach would be so proud to listen to this piece in Bream's magical hands,
I agree with every positive thing! knighthoods, beauty, touch, everything!! But 4 years to play this properly??? I humbly suggest that i like this enough to dedicate myself to it.....................night and day, live it breathe it..............2 years tops :}
We have Sir Cliff Richards, Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney... Let's hear it for Sir Julian Bream! If anyone deserves to be honoured for his sheer talent and contribution to music, its him – He's the greatest!
Questa è la fuga bwv 1000 in la minore. Una trascrizione mal riuscita, non fatta da Bach. E' molto meglio suonare quella in sol minore, ossia la BWV 1001.
Haha, I hate breaking my strings and having to wait to get new ones: especially when I find beautiful pieces to learn like this one. Well done Julian...
Julian Bream has certainly a great "understanding" and mastery of this type of music.
Just a matter of precision: This is not the violin sonata fugue, but its "twin" (not identical) from the Lautenmusik collection: there are here and there differences, and a few more bars to it.
@yumeybaconcutout Although you sound like your progressing quickly, I really wouldn't suggest playing any of the more difficult Bach until you have a really, really solid technique. More than anything I, I first attempted the 4th Lute Suite at your age, but had been playing for 5 years.... Remember that playing easy, but technical music first is far more beneficial than jumping in at the deep end! Chances are you not another Ana Vidovic ;)
is this clip from a collectino of performances by the master Julian Bream? and if so, can you tell us the title of it so that we too may purchase it? thanks you in advance.
how difficult is it to learn the lute suites? i'm 13 and have been playing for a year; but i feel that im progressing fairly quick :D im really looking forward to learning them (whether next year or in 10 years) since bach is the reason i've picked up the guitar. my teacher hasnt suggested learning them yet, should i just wait until then? i also try to get in 2 hours a day, currently im playing stuff like bwv 999, prelude from cello suite 1, and many etudes by carcassi.
@yumeybaconcutout wellllll, this piece is, as you can likely tell is hard on the violin, and the guitar. In order to gain the technique necessary to tackle this piece, id say it would take about 4 years of serious focus and practice on guitar, but its up to you and your teacher ultimately.
@donesixfour ------------ This is a virtuoso piece on the guitar , and not in any way simple on the violin , but I'd have to say this particular Bach masterpiece is slightly harder to play on 6 strings vs 4 , just mho . This is not an easy solo . 4 years to play well for either ( violin or guitar ) would be a true accomplishment for anyone .
@Incisionator that depends on how dedicated you are, i started 3 years ago with a friend, and he can play literally all that he wants, but he did nothing else than practicing
@yumeybaconcutout .it won't take you 10 years ;)especially since you have a teacher...it's a fun piece to play(one of my students is 12 and is learning it. Based on your time and ability(2-4 weeks- minimum 6 hours study time per week to memorize.. have a good ear but no teacher?.. it should take you less time(sheet music + tabs+all the YT clips available..not that hard but it's a gorgeous piece..just don't "mystify" it and you'll be o.k.(just chords,double stops and licks)played masterfully ;)
Beautiful! I think playing these classical songs on guitar makes them more relatable to contemporary generations and allows us to really appreciate Bach's mastery
The 1001 fugue is the violin sonata. This fugue is actually based on the 1000 lute fugue (which was actually a transcription based on the 1001 fugue). They are similar, but I can tell that this is the 1000 from the beginning (the 1001 has a trill near the beginning which you can hear if you search for it).
@FazeDrifter Listen I love him as well. I love him and John Williams and Paco de Lucia. I feel so overwhelemed and almost crazy when I see any of them playing. I wish I could meet them all three at once, I would get a heart attack
ok for all who say that this guy's talent came from god, what about the talented guitarists that don't believe in god or sing about how religion or god is some lame crap...doest the theory apply to those people as well?imo this guy has busted his ass to play like that, i played for 3 years electric guitar, i have created some riff's,solo's in a neclassical style which i;m proud of but i don;t believe in god i believe in hard work for something that i love.
@Sadornicus blah blah blah man how droll can you get talking like that? If someone wants to post what they believe, why can't ya just shut up already? Always a sour note about something
God give 2 hands to all, but who decide what to do is you with your dedication and faith in yourself...God bless? yes! but noth come for free, if u dont work hard, noth happens...
Some guitarists overwhelm you with power and dynamics but lack subtlety. Some play with great tone and feeling but can't quite handle the technically challenging parts. Some, like Segovia, have a very characteristic style that colors everything they play.
Julian has managed to cover all of those areas in a way that is deceptively unobtrusive. His playing has a chameleon like quality that shapes itself to the piece like no other. You really don't hear him, just the gorgeous music.
@LeDoctoer i was trying to explain to myself why i liked this exact rendering of the piece so much, but i just couldn't put my finger on it. your words describe my feelings precisely.
Fully enjoy means knowing yourself, being in the moment by way of your senses: subdue seeing when listening and so forth, and know that you alone--only you can change your self, your mind, your mood, your view, your feeling, your senses--infinitely easier than you can change anyone or anything else or the inverse of that ... and we are free to express so long as it is ethical: hurts no one, such as taking from their experience
wordless, speechless....music of magnificence. Please, don't talk here, dont discuss anything here...just simply listen and dissolve yourself in this sounds. thats all you need.
@LordxRequiem The shallow theology of an atheist in the Dawkins mold. I don't believe in God myself, but surely the beauty of art and music has to be one of religion's strongest arguments. Bach is divine, in the truest sense of the word.
Well we give Jimi Hendrix the title of the greatest guitarist of all time... is it really true? We elevate a select few giants we believe to pave the way and set an example and something to strive after or one day surpass. This is human nature... it's not just in music, but politics and social structures of all kinds. We collectively create this as rungs on a ladder towards progress/evolution. But besides all of that not many have had the illustrious career Bream had.
@Aurelius27x He earned his place among the giants. The fact that there are just as many great players today has nothing to do with his artistry. We revere him and respect as a great teacher.
@Aurelius27x The idea of a greatest needs to have attached to it a list of criteria that define greatest; otherwise, greatest is meaningless, even in the ear of the beholder. The art of contest has a criteria and a philosophy of principles that supports the criteria; but, why bother; just expand your senses & enjoy whatever loves you at any level of love. When we rise just a bit above contest, conflict, competitiveness, then we all can be creators, creative as audience, too. How? Fully enjoy.
@Aurelius27x Hendrix is the most inventive electric guitarist I've ever heard and probably the most inventive guitarist full stop. Certainly no other guitarist has moved and impressed me as much. This is a completely different style of music and of course it's all a matter of personal taste. I love a huge amount of music by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Wagner, Chopin, Sibelius, etc, etc, but it was Jimi that influenced my guitar playing.
Not being funny here but is Bream is a really superb player, but is he really that special or did he just get the limited market for classical guitar all sown up in the early days ?
Surely there are dozens of players as good who also don't only play the dots like Bream, but also compose & that we'll never hear of because of the limited market for this & the fact that people will only part with money to buy music from an established name.
@pobinr Well this is youtube...anyone can post a video of themselves playing. If you think you can find players as good as Bream whom no one knows about, go ahead!
I'll tell you what though. I thank God every single day for giving me arms and hands so I'm ABLE to play the Piano and Trombone and so that I'm ABLE to compose music. But I'm pretty sure God wouldn't be a happy bunny if I were to ever neglect my love for music and not work my ass off. :) Without God I would have no talent, but God does not tell me what to do. :)
Oh My God. Get to grips people. Appreciate the music and leave behind your silly arguments for another video that's related to the topic! How can you sit there and type irrelevant words after watching this masterpiece; which i can only describe as beautifully expressed. I know I'm going to contradict myself here by getting involved, but Jesus Christ! Do you think God sat there and told him what to do? God gave him the ability to work his ass off. Now move on people.
@vosgien Ah - so people are wrong to like it and to like Julian Bream - how then should it be done? Votre commentaire, voilà ce que j'appelle du bric-à-brac, cher ami!
What a profoundly profoundly beautiful mind Bach had! Can you imagine where we would be musically without Bach's pivotal influence on the whole of western music? I'll tell you where .... the ****ing Dark Ages still! J.S.Bach, THE greatest achievement in the history of music !!!!!
@ap06476...You claimed and I quote ''You cant stand listening to those guys (Loomis Becker etc) for more than a couple of minutes ''unquote..Im saying Who Cant ?You ? bah...look at the numbers ..they are not without a legion of ''guitar playing'' fans because of they're prowess/ ability on guitar not for the pop / commercial appeal..unlike Bieber fans...
@ap06476...Who cant stand listening (to Loomis etc )?..I see he have as many views on youtube as Bream despite being around a very short time in comparison. and loads of praise regarding his skill in the comments section..give me a break ..yours is a weak argument ..you fail cocksmoker
@nneevveerrmmoorree Don't be ridiculous. You want to compare artists based on their stats on youtube? You could just as well compare them to Justin Bieber and arrive at a conclusion that clearly Justin is superior in all respects due to the amount of "clicks" he gets on yt. And you are calling my argument a weak one? Get real. I never said Loomis and the like don't have the skills. They are simply entirely different species. I don't see any point in this comparison.
Now I love classical guitar and all the Breams running around...but they dont compare to all the Jason Beckers...why you ask?..well they dont ''COMPOSE'' for starters..they are like cover artists..performers only..and if you think the ''Breams accuracy dexterity are second to none..just listen to say' ''Guitars Still Suck''by Bumblefoot or Mile of Machines '' by Jeff Loomis..whether you like the song is 'subjective' but skill is very measurable
@nneevveerrmmoorree Classical pieces like this are composed in a way that's "open" in terms of interpretation, meaning you can play them with any feel you want, slowing down or building up intensity how you feel is right. They say that Bream is very good at it. This is also a hard piece to play, considering the classical guitar technique. Don't compare him to the likes of Jeff Loomis. People praise Bream's technique and feel, not his composition skills. And Loomis's solo record is pretty bland.

They are similar, but I can tell that this is the 1000 from the beginning (the 1001 has a trill near the beginning which you can hear if you search for it).

I love the sound of the guitar because every single stroke reveals the 'aura', or 'force' (as coined in the Star Wars series) of the player.

ok for all who say that this guy's talent came from god, what about the talented guitarists that don't believe in god or sing about how religion or god is some lame crap...doest the theory apply to those people as well?imo this guy has busted his ass to play like that, i played for 3 years electric guitar, i have created some riff's,solo's in a neclassical style which i;m proud of but i don;t believe in god i believe in hard work for something that i love.

Some guitarists overwhelm you with power and dynamics but lack subtlety. Some play with great tone and feeling but can't quite handle the technically challenging parts. Some, like Segovia, have a very characteristic style that colors everything they play.
Julian has managed to cover all of those areas in a way that is deceptively unobtrusive. His playing has a chameleon like quality that shapes itself to the piece like no other. You really don't hear him, just the gorgeous music.

Fully enjoy means knowing yourself, being in the moment by way of your senses: subdue seeing when listening and so forth, and know that you alone--only you can change your self, your mind, your mood, your view, your feeling, your senses--infinitely easier than you can change anyone or anything else or the inverse of that ... and we are free to express so long as it is ethical: hurts no one, such as taking from their experience

@LordxRequiem The shallow theology of an atheist in the Dawkins mold. I don't believe in God myself, but surely the beauty of art and music has to be one of religion's strongest arguments. Bach is divine, in the truest sense of the word.

Well we give Jimi Hendrix the title of the greatest guitarist of all time... is it really true? We elevate a select few giants we believe to pave the way and set an example and something to strive after or one day surpass. This is human nature... it's not just in music, but politics and social structures of all kinds. We collectively create this as rungs on a ladder towards progress/evolution. But besides all of that not many have had the illustrious career Bream had.
Aurelius27x 1 year ago
@Aurelius27x He earned his place among the giants. The fact that there are just as many great players today has nothing to do with his artistry. We revere him and respect as a great teacher.
Aurelius27x 1 year ago
@Aurelius27x The idea of a greatest needs to have attached to it a list of criteria that define greatest; otherwise, greatest is meaningless, even in the ear of the beholder. The art of contest has a criteria and a philosophy of principles that supports the criteria; but, why bother; just expand your senses & enjoy whatever loves you at any level of love. When we rise just a bit above contest, conflict, competitiveness, then we all can be creators, creative as audience, too. How? Fully enjoy.

@davidfaubion Well said.
Aurelius27x 1 year ago
@Aurelius27x Hendrix is the most inventive electric guitarist I've ever heard and probably the most inventive guitarist full stop. Certainly no other guitarist has moved and impressed me as much. This is a completely different style of music and of course it's all a matter of personal taste. I love a huge amount of music by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Wagner, Chopin, Sibelius, etc, etc, but it was Jimi that influenced my guitar playing.
lewars1912 1 year ago
Not being funny here but is Bream is a really superb player, but is he really that special or did he just get the limited market for classical guitar all sown up in the early days ?
Surely there are dozens of players as good who also don't only play the dots like Bream, but also compose & that we'll never hear of because of the limited market for this & the fact that people will only part with money to buy music from an established name.
Or am I wrong ?

I'll tell you what though. I thank God every single day for giving me arms and hands so I'm ABLE to play the Piano and Trombone and so that I'm ABLE to compose music. But I'm pretty sure God wouldn't be a happy bunny if I were to ever neglect my love for music and not work my ass off. :) Without God I would have no talent, but God does not tell me what to do. :)

Oh My God. Get to grips people. Appreciate the music and leave behind your silly arguments for another video that's related to the topic! How can you sit there and type irrelevant words after watching this masterpiece; which i can only describe as beautifully expressed. I know I'm going to contradict myself here by getting involved, but Jesus Christ! Do you think God sat there and told him what to do? God gave him the ability to work his ass off. Now move on people.
And have a nice day. :)

@nneevveerrmmoorree Don't be ridiculous. You want to compare artists based on their stats on youtube? You could just as well compare them to Justin Bieber and arrive at a conclusion that clearly Justin is superior in all respects due to the amount of "clicks" he gets on yt. And you are calling my argument a weak one? Get real. I never said Loomis and the like don't have the skills. They are simply entirely different species. I don't see any point in this comparison.

Now I love classical guitar and all the Breams running around...but they dont compare to all the Jason Beckers...why you ask?..well they dont ''COMPOSE'' for starters..they are like cover artists..performers only..and if you think the ''Breams accuracy dexterity are second to none..just listen to say' ''Guitars Still Suck''by Bumblefoot or Mile of Machines '' by Jeff Loomis..whether you like the song is 'subjective' but skill is very measurable
nneevveerrmmoorree 1 year ago
@nneevveerrmmoorree Classical pieces like this are composed in a way that's "open" in terms of interpretation, meaning you can play them with any feel you want, slowing down or building up intensity how you feel is right. They say that Bream is very good at it. This is also a hard piece to play, considering the classical guitar technique. Don't compare him to the likes of Jeff Loomis. People praise Bream's technique and feel, not his composition skills. And Loomis's solo record is pretty bland.
