  • The Bach Double is such a cool piece! I have played it multiple times on the violin, but one day I thought, "I wonder what it might sound like on the mandolin." So I tried it...and I love the way that it turned out! In addition to using the mandolin in folk and bluegrass music like it is commonly used, I enjoy bringing it into the classical realm as well. This was a super fun piece for me to learn, and I'd love to know you thoughts about it down in the comments!

    my nextdoor neighbor and I have been working on the Bach Double. He plays violin; I play mandolin. Lots of fun & I love Bach on the mandolin.

      He has a version.... mandolin and guitar. It's great. Emma's performance is so very special however...... Because the interplay between just two mandolins is so crisp and complex.

    Impressive playing, Emma. Clean fingering, great tremolo, nice dynamics. You have very fine musicianship. A delight to listen to your double-playing of this piece.

      @@emmabordersmusic Your earlier Bach video with the jig from the second partita inspired me to try to learn it on the tenor guitar I have ... I'm still working on it, but it's fun! Bach is really second to none.

    Excellent performance! I love this work, especially the second movement. I don't even rally miss the orchestra part, which is something I love about Bach's music - the solo voices paint enough of the harmony that they can stand alone.
    So far the only Bach solo I've learned on mandolin is the famous Cello prelude, but one day hope to play the Chaconne. That's a beast, but so intricate and beautiful.

      Thank you! I completely agree. His music is timeless. Oh the Chaconne would be amazing! I’ve never tried that one. You’re right, it’s a beast but so beautiful.

    What could be better than one Emma playing mandolin. Two Emma’s. It was very clean. Well executed. Is that the same mandolin for both and is that a Collings mandolin or another maker?

      Good question haha! For this one I actually recorded the audio separately because that was easiest. Then I videoed myself playing each part and edited those together with the audio later. Hopefully that makes sense
