Classical Guitar Lesson: BWV 996 Courante (Bach)
Thu, 09/04/2014 - 3:59pm
"The Bach Lute Suites are a never-ending source of musical inspiration, but they're also very challenging." - Jason Vieaux
In this advanced classical guitar lesson from his online school, Jason Vieaux goes over the courante section from Bach's "Lute Suite in E minor" (aka BWV 996). The courante (or corrente, coranto, or corrant depending on what language we're using) refers to third section of the piece and is characterized by triple meter dances from the Renaissance and the Baroque era.
Bach typically wrote in two styles, French and Italian, and would utilize different spellings to differentiate between the two countries. So for this case, we use the French spelling of courante for this characteristically French piece.
