Lesson: Prelude in E Major, BWV 1006a by Bach for Classical Guitar
Prelude in E Major from BWV 1006a by Bach for classical guitar
→ My PDF sheet music or tab edition:
This is a video lesson exploring the left hand fingering. It is not intended as a tutorial (although it might accomplish that) and also does not cover the vast array of musical information relevant to Bach. It is just an exploration of the fingering.. One correction: Bar 114 last two notes should be D natural and open B. I’ve corrected this in the score.
Prelude in E Major from BWV 1006a by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) - Arranged for Classical Guitar. From ’Lute’ Suite in E Major. Includes both a notation-only edition and a TAB edition. Left hand fingering only. PDF download. Performance comments. Level: Advanced.
The original work by Bach is Partita No. 3 in E major, BWV 1006 for solo violin with a further autographed arrangement known now as Suite in E major, BWV 1006a. It was likely arranged on lute- harpsichord (lautenwerk), an uncommon instrument, and so it became popularly known as a Lute Suite. Bach was familiar with lute players of the day such as Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1687–1750) and so it is not inconceivable that Bach could have imagined a lute performing the work. That said, in terms of performance difficulty and suitability, this is a keyboard work or at least unspecified instrumentation. Read more in Preface of the free or premium edition.
