Yes,that´s correct.Is this fugue even possible to adapt for the guitar,that´s what i was wondering about.As for this prelude i usually play it without the D-tuning because i´m more comfortable with that,and really enjoy it so,despite it´s smaller lack of sonority,polyphony,or whatever they call it.Thanks anyway.

@gipcarp Fugues are usually hell on the guitar. 3-part fugues are often barely possible. It wasn't a task that I fancied taking on, and once you go down that road, there are 47 P & F's left to go!!!

[gipcarp]

Very nice.But where is the fugue?

[daleharrisguitar]

@gipcarp I take it that you are asking why I haven't added the fugue? Is that correct?

Learn to tap your foot. Timing is awful, but still well played. A simple song that needs rhythm.

[daleharrisguitar]

@airboat4477 Have you posted your metronomically perfect nokia-mobile-ringtone rhythmic version here?! Lol. 

[m1sd3m3an0r]

Veeeeeery nice played, I like it a lot!

[FlameHound99]

Are there any tabs available to learn to play this? Really beautiful

[gipcarp]

Fugues on the guitar are hard,but,i´m no piano-player but i reckon they must be harder there since i suppose you´re playing one voice with one hand and another simultaneously with the other.bwv 1000,997,998 (fugues)seems constructed for lute or as nowadays guitar and the same problem doesn´t occur in the same way.Am i wrong?

[gipcarp]

Have you ever tried the "allegro" from bwv 998?

[gipcarp]

It would be nice to see the fugue though.A three voiced fugue i´ve learned a bit(the first first and ending part) and listened much to is the one from bwv 998.But this one really feels idiomatic for the guitar.I don´t know how to make arr:s so am a bit lost .
