Calligraphing a Bach chaconne

The solo violin chaconne calligraphed after the autograph BWV 1004. A short video about some aspects of the process. Copying in the writing style of Johann Sebastian Bach - with the same tools, materials and dimensions. A story about tensions between staying close to the original and editorial interventions. A copy made for my good friend and awesome guitarist Danton Oestreich. About spacing, pencil use, arpeggio’s, being inventive, corrections, thin ice, meaning of symbols.
