Bach


presto in G minor

The Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by JSB make excellent studies for the plectrum guitarist both in their technical demands as well as the insight they provide into melodic development.

I'm sharing my fingering for the Presto in G minor here as one possible solution towards the balance of musicality and playability.

Of course, apart from their utility as studies they are magnificent works. highly recommended is Paul Galbraith's interpretation of the complete six suites on the delos label. Available here .

Purchase the scores for all six suites here .
