  • Description

    The dilemma facing any arranger of Bach is to stay true to the character of his music knowing, all the while, that he would have been infinitely more imaginative and far bolder than they’d dare to be. I have attempted to remain in a sound-world that Bach would have found familiar but there are some instances where I have deliberately chosen to do the wrong thing. A particularly egregious example is at the beginning of the first variation where I have divided Bach’s seven-note bass figure between guitar and cello, thereby vandalising the beautiful pattern of a 41-note right-hand figure spread over four bars of seven notes each in the bass. Using only two players at that point would have been more correct but I felt that it was important to have the complete trio involved as they embark on one of the great musical journeys. I am sure there will be other errors that I don’t even know I have made but I hope that these won’t detract from the enjoyment of performers or listeners... David Juritz
