Re: J.S. Bach: Gavotte in D Minor (BWV 811)
Very nice recording, Martun. I had a look at Youtube to listen to a keyboard version.
It's BWV 811. I found a Youtube clip of a 5 year old Chinese girl, playing it at high speed.
But I like the mid-tempo version of the mandolin trio better...

Re: J.S. Bach: Gavotte in D Minor (BWV 811)
Thanks, crisscross.
There are plenty of very fast recordings of this gavotte on Youtube, but apart from the fact that I wouldn't be able to play that bass line any faster on tenor guitar with any sort of accuracy, I am also reassured by the fact that the Glenn Gould recording I linked in my original post is at pretty much the same tempo as mine (indeed slightly slower than mine). Gould was one of the most celebrated Bach performers of his day, and had history with challenging perceived wisdom on "correct" performance tempo, preferring to play it as he thought suited each piece best rather than how everybody else played it.
