Mel Bay: J. S. Bach: Six Unaccompanied Cello Suites Arranged for Guitar Book
Although Johann Sebastian Bach did not
write any music for the guitar, transcriptions of his
unaccompanied string music and music for lute have
long been a part of the guitar repertoire.
Despite the respect that this music commands among
musicians and audiences debate still exists as to
what constitutes an appropriate means of transcribing,
interpreting and performing this music on the guitar.
It is this debate that prompted this long-awaited edition
of Bach's unaccompanied cello suites by scholar
and concert guitarists Stanley Yates.
This definitive work includes performance scores,
comparison scores an an invaluable 40-page guide
entitled Arranging, Interpreting, and Performing the
Music of J.S. Bach. Furthermore, the author
offers comments on his arranging process and
suggestions on using this edition including:
ornamentation, slurs, fingerings, notation, and
implementation of the comparison scores.
Written in standard notation in guitar-friendly keys.
