While many
electric bassists study
the Bach cello suites at
some point, few attempt
the sonatas and partitas
for unaccompanied violin
BWV 1001-1006 . Composed
around 1720, the sonatas
and partitas display rich
polyphonic writing,
unlike the simpler
monophonic cello suites.
This collection features
a challenging but
rewarding transcription
of the complete A minor
Violin Sonata BWV 1002 ,
which fits particularly
well on the bass. Also
included are the
well-known gavotte en
rondeau from the E major
violin partita BWV1006
and the complete A minor
partita for solo flute
BWV 1013 , transposed
here to D minor. Finally,
an arrangement of the
familiar chorale Jesu,
Joy of Mans Desiring from
BWV 147 takes advantage
of the basss natural and
artificial harmonics.
Performance notes are
included. Written in
notation and tablature
for the 4-string electric
bass.
