Suite BWV 995 – Vol. 1

The works Johann Sebastian Bach devoted to the lute and to the Lautenwerk (BWV 995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000 and 1006a) have for a long time now become part of the guitar repertoire and remain a cornerstone in the study programmes of conservatories and of higher academies around the world, recognizing that this music of absolute importance has a very significant weight in the training of today’s musician and guitarist.

The intention of this transcription for guitar is to provide a teaching aid which faithfully reproduces the articulations, slurs, agogics and embellishments present in the manuscripts and at the same time offers advice on how to achieve them and suggests a practical fingering for both hands.
