Joh. Seb Bach - Gavotte I From "Suite pour la Luth" BWV 995 for Classical Guitar

Playing Bach on classical guitar: start your reading and analysis beginning with the BASS. Oscar Ghiglia (1938-2024) once said to me in a masterclass I attended: "The bass in Bach's music is not only the fundament of the harmony and counterpoint: it's the key to the form as well!" The Gavotte I in Bach "Suite for Luth" BWV 995 has a very clear and symmetrical form, that is very much outlined by the bass lines.
