Sylvius Leopold Weiss: Fantasie (originally for baroque lute) (score)

This short work is in c minor on the baroque lute but has been transcribed to d minor for guitar by Christopher Berg. The start of the piece is unmeasured but uses the rhythmic propulsion present in many late baroque pieces. The interpretive problem here is to provide expressive freedom to music that drives forward. The second section is exuberant, fugue-like, and is a joy to play. Includes detailed fingerings.
