Not according to Bach. He didn't write a tempo on the original. This performance is actually in line with the tempo lutenists use, also we are not sure it was written for lute as Bach never specified on any of the manuscripts so. It looks like lute music on the pages but it has 0 signs of symbols to confirm this. In the ledger of Bach's belongings at the time of his death we find 4 lute - harpsichords. So, an educated guess would suggest Bach was experimenting with the sonic timbre of the lute using traditional suite form and popular movements of the old baroque (1746-1750), of course these movements had long been unpopular and back was already known as the 'Old Master' during his lifetime. The other two versions of this work are melodically nearly identical (sinfonia 3 and violin partita no. 3) which makes it interesting that this complete transcription by Bach was catalogued by BWV librarian as the 4th and not the 3rd lute suite. There were probably other reasons that I don't yet know of or it could have been discovered that it was one of the last scores transcribed by Bach's assistant (Bach being blind in his last year or so)
@@soundknight Wow, that's interesting. I was just taken aback by this interpretation because I am so used to people playing it rather quick. It's nice to hear this one stand out.
Fantastic interpretation of the music of Bach my dear John Marcel, thank you so much for sharing.

Usually the tempo is much quicker, but I like the idea of savoring each note just a bit more in this piece by Bach 🙂
