Bach: Prelude in C Major, BWV 846 (Tariq Harb, guitar)

Here is an arrangement I did of the eternal and beautiful Prelude in C Major by J. S. Bach. The Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 846, is the first prelude and fugue in the first book of The Well-Tempered Clavier, a series of 48 preludes and fugues by the composer. An early version of the prelude, BWV 846A, is found in the Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. I always wanted to play this prelude but have never found a convincing arrangement of it for guitar. So I decided to make my own and have decided to engrave it and to include all pertinent right and left-hand fingerings. I aimed to keep it as close as possible to the keyboard original while making it comfortable and idiomatic for the guitar. You can find the score for purchase via my online store: I hope you enjoy it! Guitar: Douglass Scott, traditional spruce top and Indian rosew
