Fugue in G minor, BWV 1000

Composition by Johann Sebastian Bach

Not to be confused with Fugue in G minor, BWV 131a or Fugue in G minor, BWV 578.

The Fugue in G minor is a musical composition, possibly for the lute, written by Johann Sebastian Bach shortly after he moved from Köthen to Leipzig in 1723.

Today the piece is typically played on the guitar.[1]

## Origin

[edit]

Bach extracted the second movement from his Sonata No. 1 in G minor for solo violin, BWV 1001, written in 1720, and rewrote it; it is not clear that it was intended for the lute.[2] No definitive manuscript version exists today, although there is a contemporary copy in tablature, possibly made by Bach's lutenist friend, Christian Weyrauch.
