Because Bach notated his lute suites as keyboard music (that is, in standard notation on a grand staff rather than in lute tablature), it is almost certain that he composed these suites not for the lute, but for the lautenwerck (lute-harpsichord), a baroque-era keyboard instrument that sounded like a lute because its strings were gut rather than metal. As such, the music, while idiomatic for keyboard, is in many instances awkward (or impossible to play) on the lute (or on the guitar). Consequently, in existing editions of Bach's lute suites for solo guitar, the music has been simplified or altered to make it playable. But with two guitars (one basically covering the treble part of Bach's original score and the other the bass part), the music is at the same time comfortable to play and faithful to the original. This edition for guitar duet (in standard notation and tablature) includes eight selected movements: Gavotte I (Suite in G Minor, BWV 995), Gigue (Suite in G Minor, BWV 995), Allemande (Suite in E Minor, BWV 996), Bourrée (Suite in E Minor, BWV 996), Prelude (Suite in C Minor, BWV 997), Sarabande (Suite in C Minor, BWV 997), Gigue (Suite in C Minor, BWV 997), Prelude (BWV 999).
Traditions of the Classical Guitar
First published in 1980, Traditions of the Classical Guitar has been described as the first book to examine in detail the many traditions of one of today's most popular instruments. With its central focus on Andres Segovia's pioneering work in establishing the guitar as an international concert instrument, it goes on to examine in detail its subsequent developments with reference to great artists such as Bream, Williams, Diaz and Yepes.Traditions of the Classical Guitar continues to be a classic of twentieth-century guitar scholarship, offering a challenging assessment to perceptions of the guitar's progress throughout the ages. It is also a timely reminder of the glorious years of Segovia's concert career between 1909 and 1987; Segovia himself said of the work: "e;Graham Wade has shown his love for the guitar from the first page to the last; true love and understanding"e;.
