You seem to like Bach. Do you transcribe music yourself from keyboard pieces or did Bach write the music for the guitars?

Hi Steinway,

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, I do like Bach. I've always liked Bach's music since my student days and it's always been a great inspiration.

I transcribe the music myself, one of my main projects right now is transcribing to guitar Bach cycles for harpsichord. I'm focused now in the French Suites which I'll hopfully record next year (at least part of them). Bach didn't write any music for guitar (the guitar as we know it right now didn't exist in Bach's time), he transcribed for the baroque lute some of his music, and composed some other pieces for it. This repertoire is commonly played by guitarists.

I hope this helps

All the best,
Anatol.
