Here’s the sheet music for the D minor Gigue, Partita II, JS Bach, Solo Violin BMV 1004.
I love to play this piece. It’s fun to play and I think a lot of guitarists would enjoy and learn a lot by playing it, whatever genres of music that they usually tend to play.
I added a little bit of analysis towards the end, Bach has so many different cool ways of weaving together melodic fragments. And I think as improvising musicians, we can learn, study and enjoy a lot from these ideas.
I also made a jazz chart of the gigue, to see what it would look like, and maybe get folks seeing (and hearing) more of the bebop-baroque connection …
