For more
than a century guitarists
have been irresistibly
drawn to Bach’s
remarkable cello suites.
Here, for the first time,
are the first four in the
easiest and most resonant
guitar keys. Suites
I–IV must
betransposed to work on
the guitar, whereas Suite
V is always played in A
minor, in Bach’s
own lute version, and the
equally demanding Suite
VI can only be played in
its original key of
D.
By adding as
little aspossible, these
arrangements preserve the
integrity of the
originals, in which
melody, bass and harmony
are woven effortlessly
into a single fabric.
They also, crucially,
offer the guitarist Bach
at a lower level of
difficultythanhis music
for lute or unaccompanied
violin.
Another
unique feature is the
inclusion of optional
‘improvised’
divisions –
suggestions for the
additional ornamentation
of passages to reflect
typical18th-century
performance
practice.
This
is an essential addition
to any guitarist's
library with selected
movements featured in the
2009 ABRSM guitar
syllabus (Grades
5-8).
