Análises editoriais da fuga BWV 998 ao violão

Abstract

This academical work consists of on comparison research around the guitar editions and transcriptions for J. S. Bach’s Fugue BWV 998, possibly for lute-harpsichord, which were carried out by Koonce (2002), Hoppstock (1999), Segovia (2000), Zigante (2001) and Chiesa (1991). The aim is to find out editorial procedures which were used in the editions investigated to get criteria that can be used as a basis for further transcriptions, as well as some choice for music performance on the guitar. Furthermore, we aim to map the elements we will get on the grounds of a comparison analysis of both the transcriptions mentioned above and the facsimile edition seeking to identify and classify them, from which we could draw information to substantiate possible future guitar transcriptions of this musical work.
