Dear Joseph,

Thanks for your quick reply! I visited your site at once even before I finished
reading the letter. It was very interesting to know new about Johann Sebastian
Bachs' privat life episodes. And the way they positively affected on his
creative work. I suppose I am eager to listen to this Chaconne now because I
have had no idea of it before. Frankly speaking, I know just a few of his
compositions, but they seem to be different from others with their illusive
easiness, but perfect melody. His things like Paganinis' suits to guitar more
than any others. Maybe it is because violin is a relative to a guitar...
Anyway, now I am beginning to read your site more closely... Thank you!

Kirill

Hello Kirill,
I'm also a classical guitarist, non professional, and Bach lover. I wrote a
fiction novel about Bach's Chaconne. It tells the story of how the Chaconne
effects the life of the protagonist, and in alternating chapters, an
historically accurate, but fictional account of Bach's life, and how he came to
compose it. If you go to the book site: http://www.chaconne.us/ You can listen
to the music, see a book clip, and read sample chapters. If you find it
interesting, I'd be happy to send you a complimentary copy, if you send your
address. If you enjoy reading it, perhaps you could recommend it to others, and
spread the word, in your country.

Best regards,

Joseph

Hello, again!


My name is Kirill. I live in Russia and fond of playing a guitar of all kinds:
acoustic, electric, [classical]... to name but a few. Well, one of my favourite
composers transcripted for classical guitar is [J.S.]Bach. I play not much of
him, but his tunes sound very interesting, espesially in comparison with
different others.
If anybody likes to speak about a guitar-playing, I would be glad. But I am not
a professional at all, please have it in mind :-))
