Taught by renowned guitaristÂ
Nigel North
In this lesson, lutenist Nigel North offers incredibly valuable performance insights into one of Bach's most important fugues. He contrasts the lute version, BWV 1000, with the violin version, BWV 1001, and even brings in a few ideas from Bach's organ transcription. A particular focus of this lesson is the contrapuntal nature of this work, the question of which basses to add (if any), and aspects of authentic performance.
