My arrangement of this wonderful fugue for solo guitar. As I am not a classical musician, I strove hard to accomplish the arrangement and did my best to perform it in an acceptable manner. So far I went beyond my actual abilities, so please excuse that handful of mistakes and imperfections. There is still a hell of a work to be done! The biggest problem of the piece stems from its octave extent, which is much broader than that of a guitar - and of course: it is a four-voiced counterpoint. I kept however the original key of d-minor and employed lots of harmonics, both natural and artificial to add some necessary sustain. Performed on the 1830`s anonymous guitar.
