I first heard it performed by him at the end of the final concert there, and the utter beauty of his interpretation profoundly moved me. The urge to adapt the piece for guitar has, since then, never left me. Still, several years passed before I finally began working on the transcription in earnest, using the original organ version and Busoni’s piano transcription. I think the enormous desire to succeed was tempered by the fear that the piece might turn out to be impossible to play and that it would be unattainable beyond the indelible memory of it. The result you have now in your hands will always remain for me, the point of departure for the vast Bach transcription project that has kept me occupied ever since.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital PDF or Print on Demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntermediate\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISMN 979-0-706831-36-7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder number: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBE-221208\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eListen to Marek Wegrzyk play the Adagio from the Toccata BWV 664:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FWT_X8UqLz0\" title=\"Adagio en la mineur de la toccata, BWV 564 (Arr.

The third string in F# is obviously a very well-known change, but the fourth string in C# was an experiment that created surprising results. By no means is it a miracle solution, but it provides more fluid and comfortable fingerings and enhances certain tonalities (D major, A major, B minor, F# minor), which enables multiple original harmonic solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eThe two pieces presented here are not very well known to guitarists. I stumbled upon them while searching for new material to transcribe and was inspired by Wilhelm Kempff's version of the Lamento. Around the same time, György Kurtág's recording of his arrangement for four hands (with his wife Márta) of the Cantata's first movement, and Seymour Bernstein’s solo version, also caught my attention.\u003cbr\u003eDespite being composed when Bach was in his early twenties, these works convey an extremely dense and mature spiritual message and although apparently contrasting in character, they have more in common than you would expect at first sight. They both have explicit, very slow tempo indications (Adagiosissimo and Molto adagio), which is relatively rare. Finally, this arrangement brings them even closer together as the key for the first transcription is E minor and for the second E major.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital PDF or Print on Demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntermediate\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eISMN 979-0-706846-39-2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder number: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eBE-260303\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eWatch on YouTube:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ.
