Welcome to the new series of videos on this channel!

This fugue is probably most famous as the first fugue (BWV 1001) in Bach's six pieces for solo violin, but Bach also arranged the same fugue twice more, here for 'Lautenwerk' and once for Organ (BWV 539).
Scroll to the end of the video to see the original 'tablature' in which this fugue comes down to us.
