As in classical guitar arrangements the melody and harmony are combined. Most pieces are on facing pages with no page turns required and beginners can pick through the selections at a slow pace. The book features just the best-known parts of 20 beloved Bach pieces: Air on the G String · Arioso · Minuet in G · Sheep May Safely Graze· Sleepers Awake · and more.
