Bach and Guitar(Cont.)
  So playing Bach's music on the guitar is neither justified nor necessary, historically speaking. And yet it has influenced the guitar and guitarists in a variety of ways. The major twentieth-century performers on the instrument all played Bach's works assiduously and their artistry and grasp of music and technique was all the better for it. It enabled them to get the leading composers of the time to write a wholly new repertoire for the instrument, the quality of which was without precedent in the entire history of the guitar. Indeed, many composers such as Alexandre Tansman, Luciano Berio and Heitor Villa-Lobos, (who claimed to have been the first to transcribe the Chaconne for guitar), declared that their first real contact with the guitar was when they heard the music of Bach played on it. And it is a sobering thought that the music of various guitarists-cum-composcrs has never exploited to the full the guitar's potential for polyphony to the degree achieved in the music of Bach, who died before the instrument had evolved into its present form. Composer Hector Berlioz taught the guitar and knew the instrument well. Despite which, in his Treatise On Instrumentation, published in 1844, he unleashed a prejudice which continues to exert a harmful influence to this day: "I repeat that it is impossible, without the knowledge of how to play it, to write pieces for the guitar in a number of parts which enable each resource of the instrument to be shown". Johann Sebastian Bach, as has been demonstrated, lived before the guitar as we know it even existed and wrote his works for lute "in the abstract", entrusting the performer with the task of making them playable. Yet Bach unwittingly found and left for posterity an approach to composition and collaboration between composer and performer which were to provide the foundation for the music written for the guitar in the twentieth century.
  All of which goes to show that if the music of Bach could do without the guitar, the guitar and guitarists have not been able to do without the music of Bach.
