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

This Prelude is one of my transcriptions I recorded in my last dvd which will be available soon.
A very complicated and intricated counterpoint of voices that makes almost imposible the fact of performing it on the guitar.
I studied deeply the Prelude to see carefully the positions that were physically accesible to a guitarist hand.
It's an extremely difficult piece originally written for keyboard, which makes it unbelievably demanding. For the guitar it's a joy to play as well as a personal challenge to my personal abilities.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

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

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.

Where can one get your transcription of this piece?

Thanks

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.

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

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.

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 !!!

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

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.

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