    To whom it may concern: I have been considering to share the score for a long time indeed since it took me a few months to finish the arrangement. It might be foolish to share it for free, considering how much musical litter is to be paid for all around, but it was the great Bach who wrote it, not me. I’m a mere translator. Bach’s wife died in poverty while current three-chord-pickers relish the benefit of copyright law. So here is the score. An important notice: I wrote it in two staves to make the voices clear and comprehensible but it is not meant to be a two-guitar arrangement however; if so it should have been arranged in a different manner. refraktorian.rajce.idnes.cz/Contrapunctus_l%2C_J._S._Bach/

    This is the only version except Glen Gould on piano that I love to listen and im coming back again and again to listen to it, great job, Sir! Thank You. I wish I have tabs for guitar for this because I can read notes easy for piano/accordion but im totally stupid as for notes on guitar because I learned guitar by myself and I never used notes for that and im too lazy and my brain is too old I guess for this kind of learning now. Ok, I know it's always possible, lets just say I'm just too lazy, anyway thanks for giving us notes of your interpretation, I believe that I will translate it to tabs one day, the day when I will find mental strenght to do it because knowledge isn't the thing that run the life force, at least in my case.

    Wow… holy f*** man, that’s incredible. Super cool guitar first off, but this version is mind blowing. It’s like nails on a chalkboard when I hear musicians with formal training butcher baroque music. I’ve always felt like it was just meant to be a “here are the notes, go shred my brethren” kind of thing when this stuff was originally put down on paper. There’s sooo much emotion in this piece - and you bring it across in the right way

    In 1985, I first got acquainted with Bach's "Kunst der Fuge" performed by "Ars Rediviva" on a Supraphon record. I could listen to this great work for hours every day, and I still consider the orchestral performance of "Ars Rediviva" to be the best! I am very glad that someone else loves and performs this work by Bach. Good luck and further improvement to you!

    I tried an alternate arrangement of the end, using a thumb tremolo for the sustaining D in the bass, but it did not work to my satisfaction. First it is quite difficult to be performed, but first of all it sounds too modern and attacks the composition rhythmically.

      Many things "guitar-ish" don't go well with Bach. I think tremolo is one of them, lovely in many works but jarring and throws you off with Bach. Wise choice.
