That's 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_presto_allemande_courante_sarabande_gavottes_gigue.pdf Also, the facsimile is available for free in IMSLP. >From the googling I've done about this, I've learned that even though Bach >said BWV 995 was for lute, it has some low G's which were not available on the >normal lutes of the day.

I haven't 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
