The Bach Lute Suites
These four suites and miscellaneous additional pieces have been drawn from two sources: Ariel
Publications AM 27616 © 1980 as edited and fingered for guitar by Jerry Willard and Kjos WG100 © 1989 as edited and fingered by Frank Koonce. I have changed much of the fingering they supplied, which in turn differs considerably between the two. The fingering appearing here is itself preliminary but may be useful as a starting point or in comparison with other editions.
A commonly expressed opinion about fingering is that there is no one “right” way, that everyone’s
hands are different. I disagree. It is true that some great guitarists have had damaged or otherwise exceptional hands and innovative techniques are certainly possible. But guitarists’ hands and their connections to the brain are mostly pretty similar. In any case fluidity of hand movement and the sounds produced as a result will vary considerably with the fingering used. There are perfect moves for every situation. Good luck making them!
The music of Bach for the guitar or even for the lute lies some way from the composer’s hand. There
is question as to whether much or even any of this material originally was composed for the lute. Much, in fact, may have been written for a “mechanical lute,” the lautenwerk, a harpsichord-like keyboard instrument of the time. This seems congruent with Bach’s involvement with other mechanized instruments then flourishing, the harpsichord and the organ.
The “BWV” number used in the identification of these pieces is the catalog number in the Bach
Werke Verzeichnis (catalog of Bach’s works) of Wolfgang Schmieder (Leipzig, 1958). This numbering system is not based on any chronological ordering in the works.
Suite I, BWV 996, is in the original E minor. Suite II, BWV 997, has been transposed from C minor
to A minor. Suite III, BWV 995, derives from Suite V in C minor for cello, BWV 1011, and was further transposed from the G minor of the lute version to A minor for the guitar. Suite IV, BWV 1006a, derives from the Violin Partita III, BWV 1006, and remains in the original E major. The Prelude, Fugue and Allegro, BWV 998, has been transposed from E flat major to D. The Prelude, BWV 999, has been transposed from C minor to D minor.
The fugues BWV 1000 and 1001* are quite similar in that they are both drawn from the Violin Sonata I in G minor, BWV 1001. The first is from the historical lute version. Koonce felt that liberties may have been taken in the lute tablature and therefore transcribed the violin sonata directly for the guitar, producing the second. Both are transposed to A minor.
