Yes I also usually use the Leipzig version with 13 tuned to G. Also,
when I first started the lute I made a version in a minor but I really
like the suite in g minor.

Sterling,
Thanks. I used the Leipzig tablature as my primary source, with
elements from the autograph and of course, things of my own informed
fancy. There were a few 14 course lutes (German theorbos?) around but
whoever transcribed it into tab (Falckenhagen?) did it for 13-course,
sans low G. In order to get the low bass, the transcriber could have
transposed it as Hoppy has done, and Bach did himself (this being a G
minor version of the C minor BWV 1011), but he or she apparently
didn't
feel the need.
I have recorded the entire suite, including doubles I wrote for some
of
the other movements - and there might be an improvised cadenza here
or
there. My sins against how we like to imagine the great master knows
no
bounds. :-)

Great performance, but I miss the low G...Are you doing the rest of
the
suite?
