I'm not an expert on Baroque composition or pieces, but I liked it, just needs a better recording to do it full justice

Anyways, good job

Thanks very much for listening Will

I know the recording is awful, I must see about procuring myself a good microphone some time, I only have an sm58 (doesn't work at all for geetar) and a crappy webcam mic which is what I used for this recording.

Thanks again for listening

I was merely under the impression that since this composition was written after several weeks' baroque theory classes, it would attempt to reflect the idiom. It's still perfectly pleasant.

The Art of Fugue's more harmonically interesting than BWV54 in my opinion, but, so unlike Gesualdo, Bach's works demonstrate that the rules are broken most effectively when the composer in question has a detailed knowledge of their deployment.

I must check out this 'Gesualdo' chap...
