Organ Sonata No. 4, BWV 528: II. 'Andante' J.S.Bach - Matthew McAllister (Guitar).

[@fedorlong6304]

Amazing! It's not easy to play bwv528 with guitar. I'm really enjoy it and wish I could play it someday

[@galleryofguitar]

Thank you!

[@peterrist1345]

Superb. It's Bach - what more is there to say!

[@galleryofguitar]

Indeed!

[@harryjoseph1802]

One of Bach's beautiful movements from his formidable Six-Packs, the Trio Sonatas...lovely arrangement and execution! Kudos..

[@galleryofguitar]

Thank you Harry!

[@joy1ess]

this piece is one of those pieces that sound so easy, but is extremely difficult. I really love the inner voices and contrapuntal lines 😔

[@galleryofguitar]

Great piece, like you say, not easy!

[@gamnamoo6195]

A master in guitar! Bach would hear this playing attentively and have a smile on his face.

[@galleryofguitar]

Thank you! 🎶

Did you wake up in heaven sitting on a chair with a guitar?

[@galleryofguitar]

Ha! Looks like it. 👍

[@nickf.furtado6473]

Agree this is heavenly, but are you sitting on a small table

[@volvodadfast]

The pacing is just right and the sound is wonderful. Thank you for treating us to your performance.

[@galleryofguitar]

Thank you very much!

[@harryjoseph1802]

One of Bach's Six-Packs...finest of the Trio Sonatas for Organ! Great playing and lovely transcription.

[@galleryofguitar]

Many thanks Harry!

[@peterlovett5841]

Heavenly music & interpretation

[@galleryofguitar]

Thank you!

[@MrDuffy]

soo beautiful.. I got to listen this by chance, and was thinking it would be a bit bare with the guitar, instead from the very first bars you play with such perfect pace and phrasing, that I couldn't help listening to the whole piece, and then again, more and more. not even a single note gets lost, every moment, trill, resolution is given due importance. this is, playing Music. thank you.

[@galleryofguitar]

Wow, thank you! 😊😊😊

[@MichaelNeverisky]

Gorgeous music on the guitar! Compelling performance and visually intriguing, too!

[@billdunham4446]

Beautiful piece, beautifully played thank you Matthew. Am intrigued with your new upright position with the guitar. I imagine there must be some form of support on the back of the instrument to keep it stable. Do tell please.

[@galleryofguitar]

Thanks for listening Bill, I made a video addressing these questions kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqbbgZaniNeNfsk

[@peterroglic2203]

You are one of the great poets of the guitar, Matthew. Thank you for evoking such deep feelings through your playing. If you haven't heard it, try Vikingur Olafsson's piano performance on KZbin. Guitar is my first love but I love piano as well.

[@galleryofguitar]

Wow, thank you Peter! I love Viking's recording, it is so beautiful. I am delighted you enjoyed this performance too!

[@miguelmata4868]

Thank you Matthew. Very well performance. I am curious about the adaptions you made in my transcription.

[@galleryofguitar]

Delighted you heard this, Ben! This was a very interesting video to make with Nico! I opted for no capo, took out quite a few bass notes, reduced ornamentation, and took out some sustaining voices in the middle section. What a wonderful job you did with this transcription 👏

[@miprofe1063]

Thank you for a fine transcription, Mr Beuming, just one of the many that you have made.

[@TimEmmerton]

Awesome piece and transcription, had a google of Ben Beaumont with no luck can you provide a link to the score?

[@ishan11285]

[@galleryofguitar]

Exactly as the previous reply mentions, I don't use the capo and remove quite a few notes towards the end.

[@andreasstolcke6801]

Where was the microphone placed? I don't hear much reverb, but no mic near the instrument is evident in the video. Was the audio recorded separately in a studio? Anyway, the arrangement and playing are superb. I love the voicing, phrasing and consistent legato playing.

[@gerardobisignano7358]

Incantevole È disponibile la trascrizione?

I love this transcription and your playing of this piece! Do you happen to have the transcription anywhere to download/purchase?

I've only been listening to the piano version, but it's really different to hear the guitar.

Hope you are enjoying.

[@marcelozolezzi7934]

Awesome!!! A beauty in every way. Thank you for this beautiful interpretation. I would like to buy the transcription that you have done for guitar. Would it be possible?

[@philipm3776]

Beautiful. Thank you, Matthew. Rather moving to hear the pure lines without the ornamentation that organists would normally add.

[@galleryofguitar]

Yes, a simple approach, some of the organ ornamentation just doesn't translate well to guitar.

Very nice playing and arrangement but the penultimate bass note E in b. 30 surely needs to be raised an octave!

True!

[@nicm1411]

I think Bach would have loved this.

I hope so!

Everything appearing out of nothing. If I were to choose music to bring the world into being, it would be Bach.

Absolutely!
