Default Prelude, BWV 999

Prelude, BWV 999
Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)


Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. Known as the father of classical music, Bach created more than 1,100 works, including roughly 300 sacred cantatas. His output is unparalleled and includes about every musical genre outside of opera. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations, and for vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival, he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.

The Prelude in C Minor, BWV 999, is, according to its only extant 18th-century manuscript, a composition for lute by Johann Sebastian Bach. In the manuscript, conserved as Fascicle 19 of Mus.ms. Bach P 804 at the Berlin State Library, Johann Peter Kellner wrote the piece down in keyboard notation. The time of origin of the work is not known.

The Prelude can be performed as well on a lute as on a keyboard. In the 19th century, it was adopted as No. 3 in the keyboard collection Twelve Little Preludes. It was grouped with Bach's lute compositions in 20th-century scholarship such as the Bach-Jahrbuch of 1931, the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis and the New Bach Edition. It has been recorded in performances on lute, on guitar, and on keyboard instruments such as piano or harpsichord. The guitar arrangement is in D minor, and is selected as one of RCM (The Royal Conservatory of Music) level 7 repertoire.

First or second piece I learned when I took up the classical guitar after 10+ years on steel string finger picking. Nice job, this tune never gets old to my ears.

thanks rick-slo and brad4d8. Yes it is a piece people will never forgot. I played many many years ago... this time it is a demo for a student who picked it up for RCM grade 7 (guitar) preparation.
Actually the piano edition of BWV 999 is also selected as RCM grade 6 piano repertoire.
