Gerubach - the amount of work and energy you put into allowing us to see and learn all these masterful pieces does not go unrecognized. Personally, I've used many of these not only to listen and follow but to actually try and learn the music. Thank you.
Especially the organ works (fugues) are amazing to see, when and how the notes become convoluted yet so precise. I can honestly say it is an act of cultural heroism to do what you have.
I'm a thankful for the extra eyes that our viewers provide to point out errors. Especially those of TH-cam users: taudou, embargokong and Ammar Biser. They took the time to point out the errors that made me take down the 1st post of this Suite. With their help, viewers can get a truthful version of this great Suite!. Please, bear in mind that there might be more errors to be found but in the mean time... please enjoy this while it lasts and my sincere apologies for the multiple errors I overlooked.
These suites are a testament for humanity, because it carries emotional struggles of life. It’s like a Bible for music since the emotions are only an extension of God’s love. I can hear what this suite’s message specifically foretells, it is about us after falling into the world’s ways of wickedness and the music only expresses the amount of grief it feels of how it misses that specific person for once they used to be pure hearted & not indulged into world’s wicked ways. But nothing can be done since this is how the process of the entire world is. Starts off as an innocent/pure child, then grows up to understand the earth’s weight & has no choice but respond to it by living & giving his own transformation coming from a more pure state. Only time will tell if that person will remain with earth’s wicked ways or find judgement towards himself in respect of God’s love and convert back to one with God & pure state once again. This is life’s test & I think Bach has expressed it right here in this suite. Prelude starts with the expression of the beginning of a person’s wicked ways, and then eventually towards the next movements the music finds some sort of resolution for the person. There is even a point of self judgement/discernment, of which is the sarabande. It’s deep & bloody, But it does show some hints of resolution and in respect finds some inner peace during the ending of the sarabande. The gigue features that inner peace being finally brought to light & gradually showing a full surrender into God’s love & mercy towards mankind, and furthermore the gigue continues while showing the footsteps of that person’s lifetime & looking back/remembering the wrong ways of his past doings. So is calling out the evil with musical attacks, completely obliterating & knocking out the past out of the way. And now being born a new & righteous creature in Christ, he/she is able to see the full picture of where we once were & where we now stand! So the Gigue ends with this perspective of life ultimately showing the defeat of the evil within & finding the resolution of Christ & Peace within! In other words being fully converted! This is the depth of the composer’s love. Bach was not only a musician but a mentor & father figure to everybody in the whole world musically.
Not a day passes without listening to Bach's music. My 'aural' window to the Universe! Your painstaking work has made it all the more pleasurable. Thank you for your time and effort. Gratefully yours, Harry
This channel has been a substantial part of my everyday life the last months. Listening to Bach and in such an accurate way being able to follow the sheet music is amazing. You are doing a tremendously great work gerubach!
absolutely the entire suite is a masterpiece, from the beginning (with the prelude) to the end (la gigue) it immerses me in the 18th century, seeing what life and culture was like in the Europe of the century of the lights, I was definitely born in the wrong time
I can't help but think that the beginning of the sarabande served as an inspiration for the final chorus of the St. Matthew Passion (Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder) Bach himself would write a few years later.
ManticTac The difference is that the Baroque lute has a ton of bass strings, tuned diatonically rather than in fourths. This means that unlike on the guitar, you can play most of the bass notes without any fingering, keeping your fingers free for the fiddly passages on the upper strings.
Listen J.S.Bach, some of the greatest music is hidden and mostly composed by him, but not too easy and relaxing. You have to push yourself to understand his music and when you do, it is the greatest pleasure
@愛 I don't know, I like the sitar. It produces beautiful sounds. Perhaps you might give opera a chance by starting with Wagner or some baroque operas. I haven't found a form of music other than rap or pop that doesn't resonate with me on some level.
John Williams is probably the best interpreter on guitar, that instrument reflects well this mysterious piece. And piano, instruments have evolved since the harpsichord...
As I recall, you reuploaded this one on account of a viewer having noticed mistakes in the original upload, correct? I imagine you are glad to receive such consideration from your audience. (- u -) Anyways, glad to see this suite is back! The sarabande and the gigue are pretty nice.
I had not heard of the Lautenwerck or "Lute-harpsichord" until now. Very beautiful. Less tiresome than a harpsichord. Apparently Bach liked them too and owned two.
That fugue was... strange. It didn't feel as much of a fugue as it did a ricercar or some other purely contrapuntal work; it didn't have the clear subject entries Bach is so good at, and the use of a _repeat_ was surprising for one of his fugues. Excellent, yes, but unlike any other fugue he has written...
The fugue is a highly intellectual work, demanding for performer and listener. I find it also very difficult to grasp. I prefer fast interpretations of it, and can recommend the interpretation of Ekaterina Derzhavina here on TH-cam. It's excellent.
This fugue is a gigue. Bach wrote several gigues, all of which are fugues with repeats. Think of the keyboard suites. Think of the 3rd movement of Brandenburg Concerto #5. The list goes on and on.
He detectado un error en la partitura de la Double... Hay un la bemol en el bajo que debería ser un sol... Búsquenlo... Por cierto, el conjunto de la Giga y la Double es simplemente delicioso...
Is the faint white dot in the notes with One extra line (middle c, Low e) intended? Hate to nitpick, but it came to my Attention while watching the Original Version of this Video Keep up the Great work!
Notation is sophisticated - I actually cannot read it all, my musical training did not proceed far enough. Seems to me Bach pieces take a lot of thought before you even try to play.
This is a real beginner question , but im just learning to read music atm. Im playing along to this with it set to 0.75 speed. So in the first bar on the bass stave , the second note is a Bflat. My question is, seeing as Bflat is already denoted by the key signature , does the flat sign beside the note make it a Bdouble flat (A) , I donot see further B notes in the piece marked with a flat symbol , but they are ofcourse flattened by the key signature
Batsinthebelltower The reason there is a notated flat next to that Bb is because there is a B natural right before it in the treble clef. Any time you place an accidental on a note, that accidental applies to all of those notes until the end of the bar. (For example, that natural sign on the B makes all Bs natural until the end of the bar.) So since Bach wanted a Bb again, the flat must be reinstated.
Zach Morrow not quite. It only applies to subsequent notes in the same octave and clef in the rest of the bar. The flat in the bass clef is a cautionary accidental; not strictly needed but helpful to the performer. You'll find cautionary accidentals in the next bar too sometimes.
Hi! Could you tell me which score have you used for this scrolling. I've one from the (1st)Bachgesellschaft, but the right hand is a 8va higher. This version sounds better to me... Thanks!
Thank you and great compliments... with a grain of salt: Ads in the middle of the pieces (as if between weren't already bad enough)?!? Please, this is disrespectful, to Bach above all, and sends the wrong message: "Commerce before art & culture" -- which is surely not intended. I'd also like point out an error on the 2nd bar of the Double (ca. 21:37) and the parallel spot in the repetition: The C in the right hand should be a dotted 8th-note (quaver).
The piece itself may be in the public domain but there is a musician playing it... Its not Gerubach's recording so its up to TH-cam to put ads on the video.

No need to apologize for those few, small errors. All content on your channel is superb. Thank you for sharing this music.

I cannot believe no one is talking about the prelude.
Too busy admiring it to type about it
I do. Killer riff.
Hey it's our sacred secret.....
Watch the Prelude played by me on piano: th-cam.com/video/eQxqkNQiN1k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wdEw-ar-qGX04cwc
I can't believe no one is talking about the basslines in the prelude. Especially at 1:47
total masterpiece. and the double is my favorite movement by far, those low notes sound so good
This channel has been a substantial part of my everyday life the last months. Listening to Bach and in such an accurate way being able to follow the sheet music is amazing. You are doing a tremendously great work gerubach!
The double blew me away. Bach is the master of all music
absolutely the entire suite is a masterpiece, from the beginning (with the prelude) to the end (la gigue) it immerses me in the 18th century, seeing what life and culture was like in the Europe of the century of the lights, I was definitely born in the wrong time
double for me, is the greatest piece of music ever written. It encapsulates so many emotions at the same time it's crazy ,Bach was really a genius .
I can't help but think that the beginning of the sarabande served as an inspiration for the final chorus of the St. Matthew Passion (Wir setzen uns mit Tränen nieder) Bach himself would write a few years later.
You are not incorrect, the similarity in the chord progressions in both has been noticed before.
@@ericlopez6866 wow
If you focus on the bass line in Double part, it becomes so hypnotic that I realised how beautiful it is only when the music is finished
The Fugue is brilliant!
É bonito,simples e elegante. Amo a obra de Bach.
This is a great piece. It should be heard more often.
Oh, beauteous creation, that brings tears of joy to my heart and balm to my soul…!
This music is unreasonably good.
Prelude is very hard to play on guitar, but i play it well after 6 month everyday 4 hrs practice
In my opinion is moderately difficult. The sequel fugue on the other hand is really challenging
SaiyaBeatz Yes, because it’s not written for guitar
@@alejandrohp99 It's written for the lute, which is quite a bit like the guitar.
ManticTac Yes :)

Why didn't you just wrote 21 minutes
@@hindenburg1596 - I honestly don’t remember.🤔
Bassline at 1:47 is good
This piece feels... warm.
I love the timbre of the lautenwerk and greatly appreciated uploading a performance of this beautiful suite on it.
This is my favorite TH-cam channel of classic music 👍👌
17:55 this is the best part, incredible to imagine something like this
Both are good
@Dan Ghofrani double for me, is the best piece of music ever written. It encapsulates so many emotions at the same time ,Bach was really a genius .
the best instrument for a baroque
Listen J.S.Bach, some of the greatest music is hidden and mostly composed by him, but not too easy and relaxing. You have to push yourself to understand his music and when you do, it is the greatest pleasure
How does one do that ?
Relaxing? Is music supposed to be relaxing?
This prelude is pure magic. It is one more prove that never existed a composer at the level of J. S Bach.
La gigue est la perfection.
Ah, found you! Even a 4 years old comment, haha
Don't stop the music, Gerardo.
Hey man, I'm new at your channel and really enjoyed your work here; very nice, congrats! Keep on giving us the art of sound 🎼🎵🎻🎹👌👍

@@louiscouperin3731 ^ Me too. French Baroque music is horribly underrated.
This Bach piece speaks to me... the feeling is ineffable.

Bach writed the most favourite classic music!!!
More favorite is a redundant phrase, also there isn't an objective favorite thing, it should be "my favorite classical music"
All of you please stop, grammar sticklers.
Oh, god, this thread is a fucking mess. You understand what they meant, right? So stop focusing on mere grammar and fuck off!
@@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven ok beethoven
@@bobert4116 Okay, Bobby.
If only the the A at 12:57 is played A natural instead of A flat, this would've been the best rendition there on TH-cam!
Whoa, good catch :-) I guess if you know this piece, that would be a glaring mistake.
Yep. That's supposed to be II, not ii.
Bravo!!!
John Williams is probably the best interpreter on guitar, that instrument reflects well this mysterious piece. And piano, instruments have evolved since the harpsichord...
Disagree. Williams plays it all blazing fast, but it seems a little soulless.
Thanks for uploading!

There is a mistake at 19:38, on the left and the last 8th note should be a G
The copy I got from IMSLP has the right hand an octave higher. Is my copy wrong, or is there a problem with this copy?
Can someone enlighten me about the fugue? I didn't understand this fugue
Double fugue?
May I ask where you got the score from?

2:32 onwards Critical Insight
Bello ma farei notare al creatore che c'è da correggere la posizione dell'armatura di chiave nel pentagramma del basso, per il resto ottimo.
Great. The only better interpretation I've listened so far is by Helmut Valha.
These pieces are incredible! In what editions can this music be found adapted for the keyboard?
Heinz Teuchert transcribed it for the guitar. Guitar players usually add their own little things and adaptations
Where can i find the sheet music?
12:55 why does he play a Lab when it says La natural?
Want to learn this but I can't read music of even tabs rip
there is an error at the 35th barr
A 21.39 deve suonare si-labemolle-sol bequadro
What is the edition for the score ?
Why Sahazam always take me here,.?
Why is nobody talking about the fugue?
Shanahan Islands
Luth suites ?
Actually there are for harpshichord, lautenwerk and even for lute
Tuning: 0c: A4 = 440Hz
I can barely believe someone can say so much with 2 voices only, most of the part...
what instrument is this?
It's the Lautenwerk, which is pretty much a harpsichord with gut strings, so the instruments ends up sounding sort of like a lute.
Harpsicord with lute stop. Lautenwerk sound more like this th-cam.com/video/V4ZRn6Hk8N0/w-d-xo.html
