Andante from BWV 1003

Johann Sebastian Bach

This is an arrangement by the Dutch guitarist Jaap Majoor of the Andante from the Sonata for Solo Violin BWV 1003 by Johann Sebastian Bach. (1685 - 1750). See the description of the Bourree for more biographical information.

Bach’s Partitas and Sonatas for solo violin are a rewarding subject for arrangement for guitar. Despite the fact that Bach wrote a few suites for lute only, the arrangements of the solo violin pieces offer a nice extension of his repertoire for guitar.
