Although the guitar per se did not exist during Bach’s time, Bach himself is known to have transcribed his own cello music for the Baroque lute. What sets Lorimer’s arrangement of \u003ci\u003eSuite 1\u003c\/i\u003e apart and facilitates performance of this challenging but worthwhile piece, is the fact that he has provided adequate right-hand fingering and an extraordinary amount of left-hand digitation- all contributing to the musical rendition of an outstanding transcription.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eProduct Number:93906\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eFormat:Book\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eSkill Level:Advanced\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eNotation Type:Standard Notation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003ePages:16\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eBinding:Saddle Stitched\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eSize:8.75 x 11.75\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eISBN:1-5622-2043-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eISBN13:978-15622-2043-3\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003ePublisher:Mel Bay Publications, Inc.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_details_label\"\u003eDate Published:1\/1\/1989\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mel Bay","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":982919687,"sku":"93906","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/6747\/files\/ResizeImageHandler.ashx-10.jpg?v=1767474574","url":"https:\/\/coulsonsmusic.com\/products\/j-s-bach-cello-suite-1-lorimer-by-j-s-bach-transcribed-by-michael-lorimer","provider":"Coulsons Sheet Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
