Bach's Fantasy and Fugue in C minor BWV 906 (ca. 1738) for piano is unfinished, breaking off suddenly after bar 47. Elaborating on and performing an unfinished piece can open the door to uncharted territory. I first want to complete the fugue in Bach’s carefully analysed and constructed style, and then in my own. I will subsequently work out a new instrumental version. This version will not be a transcription but rather a transformation with unpredictable tonalities, and will result in a new composition. I would like to publish the finished scores on an online platform and/or in a concert programme booklet.
