Suite pour luth BWV 997 n°02 : fugue

About this work

The Fugue is the second movement of Suite BWV 997, written around 1738–1741 for a plucked-string keyboard instrument. This guitar transcription in A minor introduces an energetic subject in several registers before multiplying its replies.

Across three pages, voices draw closer, cross and rest on an increasingly active bass. Sequences and pedal points prepare the cadences without interrupting contrapuntal continuity.

Mark every subject entry and practise voices in pairs. Fingerings should preserve long notes without immobilising the left hand; project the subject through duration and articulation rather than a hard attack.
