Product Description

Johann Sebastian Bach likely composed this Prelude sometime between 1717-1723 while he served as Kapellmeister for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen. 
My goal was to create a very playable arrangement that sounds beautiful. I started with developing left hand gestures and fingerings that would be simple and logical. The left hand gestures combine with the right hand arpeggio pattern help to enhance the lyrical quality of the down-stem voice, which is consistently played with the right hand thumb. Additionally, the simplified left hand function assists to give clarity to the moving sequential chord arpeggio. To help memorize the sequential chords, I have identified the implied chord harmony as it changes throughout the Prelude.

I hope that this arrangement makes the process of learning this magical and beautiful Prelude a joyful one for every guitar player.
