Bach and Weiss were said to have competed in improvisation, as the following account by Johann Friedrich Reichardt describes:
"Anyone who knows how difficult it is to play harmonic modulations and good counterpoint on the lute will be surprised and full of disbelief to hear from eyewitnesses that Weiss, the great lutenist, challenged J. S. Bach, the great harpsichordist and organist, at playing fantasies and fugues."

The piece was somewhat simpler - I've added a few notes in my interpretation.

Composed in 2014, the piece is dedicated to and was a gift for my partner Monika. The composition aimed to express mostly relaxed, calm, soft and sort of intimate state.
Skomponovaná v roku 2014, skladba je venovaná a bola darom pre moju priateľku Moniku. Kompozícia mala zámer vyjadriť predovšetkým zrelaxovaný, pokojný, jemný a svojím spôsobom intímny stav.
Arranged by N. Coste - Livre d'Or du Guitariste, op. 52 - No. 27, for the "Héptacorde", 7-string early romantic guitar. I've slightly adjusted the arrangement to make it playable on a 6-string guitar.

I do not own this instrument, but am glad I had the chance to have it borrowed for some time. Primarily, it was meant to be measured and examined by my colleague luthier http://www.okenicaguitars.com who builds new instruments in style of Lacote, Stauffer and other masters of 19th century, to gain some inspiration from. But I couldn't return it without doing some recordings for you :-)
