Composed by Joh. Seb. Bach. Arranged by Georg Mertens. Baroque,Chamber,Classical,Traditional,Wedding. Individual part. 13 pages. Georg Mertens #909357. Published by Georg Mertens (A0.1320915).Having grown up as a cellist, who played the Suite since I am 11 years of age, I sometimes imagined or even hummed suitable bass notes, which you can't reach on the cello. Also, I imagined certain harmonies, completed in imagination when playing the Suite for years.
- With many arrangements by guitarists, who didn't play the Suite on cello, I can hear, they are not going the right way!
- Bach himself arranged cello Suite No 5 for lute - as lute Suite No 3 - giving us an example of how he himself went about when adding accompaniment notes - and he certainly did!
Good examples are Gavotte 2 and the Gigue from Cello Suite No 5 - or lute Suite No 3.
Bach also arranged the violin Partita No 3 in E major for lute - as lute Suite No 4, another example of how he himself went about.
- In the arrangement here, I tried also to transfer the slurs on the cello sometimes to the guitar - e.g. in the Gigue - when I found it brings better the intended articulation better out.
I hope you thoroughly enjoy the arrangement!
