Suite No. 1 for Cello Solo, BWV 1007 - Transcription for Guitar

Many of Johann Sebastian Bach's compositions for violoncello solo or violin solo are easier to transfer to the guitar than his "luteworks." The present edition gives guitarists uncomplicated as well as serious access to Bach's Suite No. 1 for violoncello. For this purpose, the suite as a whole was transcribed so that all sentences, with high quality of transcription, were well playable. The key D major (original: G major) selected for the transmission made it possible to retain the original score of the manuscript. As a template served the copy Anna Magdalena Bach or the "New Bach Edition" from 1988.
