The score is a bit out of focus.

@codonauta Yeah, I don’t know what happened. When I first uploaded it it was much sharper. Perhaps YouTube made some modifications to their video application.

Yes, it’s possible. I have found in Y Tube, in other channels, score-videos out of focus too, but others videos with the image fine. maybe there´s a secret in that.
Anyway, in your video we can recognize the notes in the score well.

The original song is named Gran Vals and it’s a guitar piece by Francisto Tárrega.

agree, maybe bach is wondering if he had composed 3-part invention no.16!

p.s.bar 47 is a little different from the version offered in the website(audiomuse), which one do you prefer, Lo?

@chunhao921 Haha, that’s too flattering! Bach would probably find a lot of counterpoint errors.

Yes, that is correct. I have changed a few notes in bar 47 just for personal preference. But in retrospect both versions sound okay to me. I will leave it up to the performer to decide which version to follow.

A little contrapuntal sidenote: Both versions have parallel octaves in the upper voices. It is less obvious in the video version because of the shifted rhythmic emphasis of the G#.
