There’s something timeless about Bach’s Prelude from BWV 997 — music that unfolds like a conversation across centuries. Every line is both architecture and poetry, each voice answering another in a dance of counterpoint. Playing it on an 8-string guitar feels like discovering new colors in an old painting. The extended range allows the bass lines to resonate deeper, grounding the music while letting the higher voices sing with clarity. For me, this Prelude carries a quiet strength — a balance of precision and freedom, structure and emotion. It’s a piece that reminds me why I fell in love with the guitar in the first place.
