Analysis of Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685-1750) keyboard works and the study of fugue are often complemented by an understanding of Baroque rhetorical theory. In the Baroque Era, the principles of oration and argument established by Greek rhetoricians were thought of as analogous to musical ideas and forms. Notable Baroque theorists Joachim Burmeister (c. 1566-1629) and Johann Mattheson (1681-1764) related the fugal process to an active and elaborate discourse. They connected the basic parts of rhetorical disposition to fugue in an attempt to define and clarify its skeletal framework. While the concept of musico-rhetorical disposition schemes seems to be an attractive design for many Baroque theorists, it is difficult to apply such an analysis to stretto and double/triple fugues. This type of analysis sectionalizes the fugue in restrictive ways, linking particular musical techniques to different areas as would divide an oration. This document suggests that specific rhetorical figures do not need to be seen as fitting pre-set standard areas (e.g., propositio, confutatio, conclusio), but can derive from the context of each particular fugue, since they serve a prevailing musical function. Bach's stretto and double/triple fugues from The Art of the Fugue, BWV 1080 are particularly difficult masterpieces to comprehend, and there is little precedence for the application of rhetorical figures to fugues of these types. This document examines Contrapuncti V-XI from The Art of the Fugue, and can serve as a model for rhetorical analyses of complex fugal processes.

Musicians have transcribed and adapted Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo, BWV 1001-1006, since Bach penned the works around the year 1720. Bach, himself, transcribed much of the material, adapting it for organ, harpsichord, lute, or even for his sinfonias and cantatas. It was also common for performers of the time to personalize these pieces with ornamentation, improvisation, dynamics, rhythmic interpretation, and in some cases, changes in pitch material.It is in this spirit that the author introduces marimba performance editions of Bach's Sonata no. 1 for Violin Solo, BWV 1001, and Sonata no. 2: Grave, BWV 1003, based on performances and transcriptions by guitarists and lutanists. The guitar and lute were selected as models due to their similarities to the marimba as well as the abundant resources that guitarists and lutanists have provided regarding Bach's unaccompanied string music. Their transcriptions and performances frequently include adaptations to fit their instruments' polyphonic abilities and sound characteristics. A similar approach is likewise suitable for the marimba. Thus, the present study includes an overview of Baroque performance practice as it relates to plucked-string instruments, analysis of published lute and guitar transcriptions of Bach's unaccompanied string music, and transcriptions and analysis of lute and guitar audio recordings. The plucked-string artists and scholars' approach is then assimilated into an authentic marimba performance edition of these works.

Detta självständiga arbete har handlat om att arrangera tre satser ur Johann Sebastian Bachs andra fiolsonat, BWV 1003, för klassisk gitarr. Till min hjälp hade jag dels Bachs originalkomposition av sonaten men också ett arrangemang för cembalo förmodligen gjort av Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (Nicholas 2009). Arrangemangen är tänkta att i framtiden användas som konsertmaterial.
