SONATA for VIOLA de
GAMBA + keyboard
arranged for Treble Clef solo
instruments
J.S. Bach bwv 1029
This beautiful sonata (which could easily have been
another Brandenburg concerto if Bach had chosen to orchestrate it) is too good to be just for violists and
cellists.
So heres an
arrangement in the Treble clef, which can be played by FLUTE, or VIOLIN, or SAX, or OBOE, or
GUITAR instead of the original solo part in the viola clef. Also, the key has been transposed from G minor to A
minor. Except for 2 measures in the
first movement it is all playable without any octave jumps. (those 2 measures have the higher octave
alternative written above the original for the wind instruments that cant go
down to A.)
The accompanying keyboard part is available in many
print editions and also can be downloaded from public domain sites like IMSLP.
Clarinet, Soprano and
Tenor Sax, can play accompanied by a
real piano reading the original keyboard part.
All the other instruments can be accompanied by an electronic keyboard
reading the original part if the keyboard
presses the appropriate transpose button.
