Gigue by Bach from Partita no 1
on: October 25, 2010, 02:42:31 PM
I have heard this famous and much loved piece many times on Cds, on the radio and I also watched it on Youtube. I would like to play it with all my heart... I have downloaded the music sheet from pianostreet. However, I am confused which hand plays what - and there is no fingering. I have searched the Internet for sheet music with fingering but have had no success. When I attempt to play it, it sounds nothing like I have heard. When other people play it, there are notes that I cannot see on the music sheet, played by L hand in particular. I also don't know how to do the trills. I have played some fairly difficult pieces, including bach inventions a couple of preludes - but this one totally baffles me, and I don't have a teacher to help me as I live too far away from the city.
So I am very confused. If anyone could help me that would be great.
Thank you so much,
Isabell

Czerny's edition is public domain and available at IMSLP. It does have fingerings, and the alternation of stem directions is a general clue as to what notes are played by which hand.

Left hand plays crotchet melody, right hand quaver triplets.
As for trills??? You mean mordents? They're fairly easy and straight-forward.
