Suite, BWV 997

from: J.S. Bach - Chamber Music - Music for Lute

Originally for lute, for keyboard, or for both, or possibly for lute-harpsichord, in c minor, transposed here to d. Five movements, Prélude, Fugue, Sarabande, Gigue and Double. The prelude is supplied with optional cadenzas at the two fermatas toward the end. It is possible to perform the last two dances in the order presented, or, as in the great recorded performance by guitarist Julian Bream, play the A section of the Double right after the A section of the Gigue, followed by the respective B sections. Slight revision May 6, 2014. Significant revision of Double Jan. 18, 2016, in which the keyboard now extends over the usual limit of C6 to E6.

Keyboard parts include separate recorder parts at no additional cost.
