Thats another arrangement for guitar in a minor, of which there are several available for free on the web, e.g., http://www.delcamp.net/pdf/johann_sebastian_bach_bwv_995_suite_prelude_prest o_allemande_courante_sarabande_gavottes_gigue.pdf Also, the facsimile is available for free in IMSLP. >From the googling Ive done about this, Ive learned that even though Bach said BWV 995 was for lute, it has some low Gs which were not available on the normal lutes of the day. Some imply this may have been because J.S. didnt know much about the lute; others that he may have had a special lute built with that low G. In any event theres no problem with the original range when playing on harpsichord, and that was my motivation for typesetting it in the first place. I havent found any specific rationalization for the key of a minor for guitar, but it seems to be settled upon as a kind of modern standard. --Don Simons
