Arranged For Mandolin-This book contains the first three of J.S. Bach's solo Violin Sonatas and Partitas arranged for Mandolin. The goal of the material is to make learning these challenging pieces easier. Mandolin tablature isincluded throughout the book. Mandolinists who have little or no experience reading standard notation will find this to be an essential learning tool. For good reason there has been widespread interest in learning thesepieces in the Mandolin community. The pieces were originally written for Violin. As a result Bach's use of string crossing patterns and open-string pedals work brilliantly on the Mandolin.Also as solo works theyare a useful addition to anyone's performing repertoire. Lastly even if never performed learning all or some of these is wonderful for building Mandolin technique. Violinists often say that if you can play the Bach SoloSonatas and Partitas you can play anything-the same is certainly true for Mandolinists.

In this collection Robert Bancalari has made 26 pieces by J. S. Bach accessible to the mandolinist. Adapted from various suites sonatas and partitas the pieces in this collection include 'BoureeAngloise' from Partita in A Minor for Solo Flute 'Marche' from The Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook 'Fantasie' from Partita No. 3 in A Minor and more.  J. S. Bach For Mandolin iswritten in standard notation and tablature. The price of the book includes access to online audio tracks featuring recordings of 13 of the 26 solos.  

Eleven solos transcribed for mandolin in notation and tablature. Includes works by Corelli Handel Telemann Bach and others.
