product description
transcribed for viola da gamba solo by Thomas Fritzsch. The Præludium ex C BWV 846, with which Bach opened Das Wohltemperirte Clavier in 1722, uses the same notation that Bach uses to arpeggiate the chords in the Prélude of the G major Suite BWV 1007 for violoncello solo senza basso: One harmony per bar. If we transfer the Præludium to the viola da gamba, (almost) every single note of a harmony has its own string, which means that the resonance of the viola da gamba is in no way inferior to that of the harpsichord: We hear harmonies.
„Die Bearbeitung für Viola da Gamba wirkt durchwegs idiomatisch. Fritzsch nutzt die klanglichen Möglichkeiten des Instrumentes geschickt aus. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad liegt im mittleren bis gehobenen Bereich. Die Bearbeitungen verbinden Werktreue mit guter Spielbarkeit ...” VIOLA DA GAMBA-MITTEILUNGEN Nr. 137/2026
