An arrangement for electric and bass guitar of this minuet from the Anna Magdalena Notebook transcribed to the key of A minor and like most dance music from this era in AB or binary form. The movement has a haunting quality and like so much of the music from the collection it is a great study piece for students and can be played by a combination of different instruments. Keep the eighth notes (quavers) as even as possible and a tempo of around 116 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. Close

This is the piano version of the prelude in the key of C minor although its origins are as a lute piece. Right and left hand fingering is specified and some score detail is given. The chordal element of this piece relates well to the modern musical ear whilst the movement was popularised by Segovia's solo guitar playing in the 1960's. This movement has to be rhythmically secure - it is very easy to play the movement either too quickly or too slowly and deciding on an appropriate tempo can be quite a performance challenge. Close

In this arrangement for two guitars with TAB charts to support the conventionally notated score the chordal element of this piece is well suited to this instrument combination. The movement was popularised by Segovia's solo guitar playing although the origins of the movement are as a lute piece. This movement has to be rhythmically secure and choosing a correct tempo is quite a performance challenge. IT is very easy to start playing this piece either too quickly or two slowly. Close

This is the prelude in C minor BWV 999 transcribed to the key of D minor. Right and left hand fingering is specified. The chordal element of this piece relates well to the modern musical ear. The movement was popularised by Segovia's solo guitar playing although the origins of the movement are as a lute piece. This movement has to be rhythmically secure - it is tempting to play the movement too quickly or too methodically so choosing an appropriate tempo is quite a performance challenge.. Close

This prelude possibly dates from 1730 and is composed in four voices or lines of music with some sections having all voices sounding, whilst in others three and sometimes only two. It opens with a section that is almost vocal in character before it transforms into a keyboard piece. There are no ornaments indicated in the score although there is an extraordinary amount of detail in the rhythmic figuration. The B section which begins at Bar 29 has some almost toccata like shapes whilst a four octave range is explored in the keyboard writing. The tempo of the realisation and playback is 72 quarter note beats to the minute and the repeats are not played. The repeat bar is indicated by a double bar at the end of bar 28 and there is also one at the end of the final bar in the sheet music score. One challenge for the performer is communicating the layers and lines that exist in the music with an awareness of an eighth note or quaver pulse. Another is to play the movement at a tempo that is appropriate and which can be maintained for the whole movement. Some of the figuration in the score can be a challenge to play if the tempo is too fast. The piece can be performed AB, AAB and even AABB the latter making it quite a long piece. The music editor when learning the movement started with the final section bars 41-56, before playing bars 29-56 and then the piece as a whole. The specified fingering is appropriate for someone who can manage a reach of a 9th with both hands. A plain score is also appended to the edited music score. Close

Duet No.3 BWV 804 in G major is an appealing work with a light, dance like character. It is an intermediate level performance piece reminiscent of the composers Two Part Inventions. The Duet does present a number of score reading challenges for the player even though the music is conceived in two parts. The 4 Duets are part of Clavier-Übung III or the German Organ Mass and composed really at the zenith of the composer’s contrapuntal writing. The edited music score has suggested fingering which may serve as a useful guide to how the movement is studied in the first instance. The music editors concept is that once familiarised with the movement that players will make use of the plain score perhaps substituting their own choice of fingering where they feel it is appropriate. The time signature is in 12/8 and the piano realisation plays back at a tempo of 60 dotted quarter note beats to the minute. There are many fine performances of this movement on several different types of keyboard instrument that are worth exploring. Close
