Bach: Toccata and Fugue, BWV 565 - Tariq Harb, guitar

For me, its not just what he plays which is impressive. Its what he doesnt play. The pauses are perfect to my ear. Not rushed. Its heavily a "call" and "response" piece. It has to talk like a conversation. Beautifully performed.

[@danielliberty7559]

My thoughts exactly. The fermatas allow for great expression of the musician by not specifying the length of the rest. In my opinion it is more accurate to say that during the rests he "plays nothing" rather than "not playing".

[@NUCLEARxPHOENIX]

I know you posted this a year ish ago... I learned guitar right handed (even though I'm not right hand dominant) off and on throughout high school and college. Unfortunately I got sick and even though it barely stuck during lessons I seriously lost it after all of my surgeries and such... I decided to buy an electric left hand guitar and use Rocksmith to learn (I am still debating a teacher because one on one can't be beat) but maybe that'll help you keep with it?! They have lessons and technique games as well as "learn a song". Not to mention you can get custom content so you don't have to pay for songs to learn though the popular ones are locked to pay. I think it might help because it has me! We all know how much we need music in our lives and I'd hate for you to give up!

[@robkrug4304]

I'm by no means a concert level guitarist but I am of the strong opinion that you can do anything on the guitar. Perhaps educated decisions must be made in terms of transpositions and displacing certain notes by an octave or perhaps excluded all together. But for the most part whatever it is it can be done.

[@johndevilbiss6607]

@@robkrug4304 i wouldn't go so far as to state "can do anything"... for every instrument has its limited range of notes, and a computer can "play" much faster. There are also limitations as to the spread of the Left hand fingers. A transcription would play every note in Bach's composition for Pipe Organ; an "adaptation" is what you mean. A Pipe Organ is played with 10 fingers to press on keys, plus 2 feet to press on the bass pedals. For 'ukulele, it would be even more difficult to adapt this masterpiece from Bach. Nowadays, church organists don't compose much - there's so much to draw from, once an efficient music notation was developed.

[@will9357]

I believe the prevailing opinion among scholars at present is that Toccata and Fugue was originally written for strings and transcribed to the pipe organ later, but that only a copy of the piece for organ survived. It's a very odd piece on a pipe organ, even leading other scholars to assume Bach would never have written it because he never would have written an organ piece like that. For organ, it's simplistic, bombastic, and breaks very many of the rules Bach was devoted to following... however, it's is far more natural as a composition for strings and here, the level of complexity is appropriate for a virtuoso performer. As far as 10 fingers and 2 feet go, much of Toccata and Fugue consists of octaves, if the piece was transcribed to organ, it's likely that these would have been put in to fill out what would have been a sparse sound for such a powerful, and characteristically multi-voiced, instrument; those octaves are the only part of the composition that seem to be missing here.

[@johndevilbiss6607]

@@will9357 So, therefore, the scholars could have transcribed it for string orchestra. What we know for sure is that the piece survived as a Pipe Organ version... (With J.S.Bach's name on it.. ) The rest is speculation. Scholars get paid to speculate...

This piece has always been a favorite of mine. I've heard it on an organ and a harpsichord...never on a guitar. This is awesome!

Me: *looks at my ukulele* Uke: *don't even think about it*

The one in your hands doesn't look like a uke, it more or less resembles a potato😊

Какое счастье - иметь возможность услышать безупречное исполнение любимого классического произведения! Огромное Вам спасибо! Удивительный талант!

Absolutely incredible. I’ve been playing for decades and don’t have a hope in the world of playing this. If a miracle happened and I could, it wouldn’t have the nuance and impeccable technique on display here. Unbelievable. Positively spell bounding. Most of all, thank you. It’s not only impressive but a testament to your own dedication, and let’s be honest, obsession with this piece. It undoubtedly took more time than any of us could give credit for. Bravo.

Bravo, Maestro....this touched my soul.

Enfin une interprétation qui respecte la sensibilité de la Toccata à la guitare. C'est la vrai bonne interprétation qui élève l'âme.
