Re: WEEK 1: Discovering J.S.Bach! 🕴
@Jack Stewart Again, thank you Jack! There is one obvious error on the opening bass note (it should be A not C). In measure 7, the score you sent me has a C# in the last sixteenth note of the second…

@Nora Torres-Nagel Thank you, Nora. Apparently outside of the world of guitarists and lutenists, these suites are not very well-known. I don't understand why - they are so beautiful.

@Jack Stewart Jack, you have made me a VERY happy man! Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I also like that it's on one page. Does this put me in the "deep end"?…

@Blaise Laflamme I really like it. I have no memory of when or where i bought it, but it has a nice little selection of pieces. It has very badly placed page turns, though.

@Blaise Laflamme I looked there and there is only one guitar version and it’s fingered. I got all excited because the prelude was not fingered, but the other movements were.

@Blaise Laflamme I think I like it a little better with the capo than without.

@Steve Pederson That's funny, I just listened to both of then on my evening walk with the dog, and I think I preferred it in Eb major (with capo). Thanks for listening.

Minuet BWV Anh 132 Mar 8 This is another transcription by Joseph Castle. It comes from the Anna Magdalena notebook, and I guess it is questionable whether or not Bach wrote it himself.…

@Jack Stewart Yes, and does he get paid the same as first violinist? If so, I’m putting in an application with my local orchestra.

Re: WEEK 1: Discovering J.S.Bach! 🕴
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. It's beautiful slow, but the guitar's lack of sustain can make it feel a bit empty when played slowly (especially on my low-quality recordings).
