Le Tombeau de Couperin, by Maurice Ravel, completed in 1917 for piano is modeled after a Baroque suite. This arrangement of the Menuet from this influential piece maintains the key and features of the original while taking full advantage of the range and timbres of the guitar. Includes 6-page score with tablature, plus 4-page guitar part without tab.

I often lean more towards making something idiomatic for guitar rather than complete historical accuracy, and this piece is no different. IMSLP is the best place to go if you are really looking for the originals. The melody seems to be intact, but I take some liberties with the harmony to make it flow well on guitar. This version also only has the main theme. Also, since I make these primarily as a learning tool, making a super lengthy full version is not ideal. 1. Guitar tablature added. 2. Harmonies changed to be idiomatic for guitar 3. Octave differences 4. Famous except only 5. Guitar chord charts added 6. Composer indications added. 7. Letter names added to aid in sight-reading.
