The most beautiful compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach in intermediate arrangements for guitar solo in standard notation and tablature. 100 pages - Johann Sebastian Bach's music touches and inspires people from different cultures and generations. In order to give guitarists access to his wonderful and valuable works, Volker Luft arranged some of Bach's most famous and important compositions for guitar. After “40 Masterworks” (AMB 3160/3161) with easy to moderately difficult pieces, the next volume is now available, which contains medium-difficult pieces as well as the famous, technically and musically highly demanding Chaconne in D minor from the Partita for violin, BWV 1004. The transcriptions have been cleverly arranged guitaristically, are without exception in standard tuning and are characterized by a high degree of faithfulness to the work. When selecting the pieces, emphasis was placed on not only working on famous compositions such as Air, Toccata in D minor, Chaconne, "Prepare yourself, Zion", Sciliano, Counterpoint I from the art of fugue, as well as a large selection of works represent a particular creative period or style of Bach. This is one of the reasons why the arrangements at hand greatly enrich the teaching and concert literature for the guitar. In addition, the detailed text part gives insights into Bach's life and work. A short biography outlines his life, information on his compositions and their musical historical significance complete the picture. Explanations of the musical forms and genres make this collection a valuable source for self-study - content: "Prepare yourself Zion" from the Christmas Oratorio · "Christ lay in death bonds" · Prelude 2 from 6 small preludes · Gavotte 1 and 2 from English Suite No. 3 · Fuga Canonica in Epidiapente from the Musical Offering · Preludes from the Suites for Violoncello BWV 1007 and 1008 · Siciliano from the Flute Sonata · Counterpoint 1 from the Art of Fugue and many more
