Description:
Ophee tells us that the very first arrangement of a Bach work for guitar was done in Moscow in 1834; and for the Russian 7-string guitar; at that! He also notes that the tuning in thirds facilitates the bariolage figurations throughout the music; while the G minor setting 'allows us to play scale runs in campanela.' With assistance from Stanley Yates and Oleg Timofeyev; this edition also includes detailed fingerings; for those new to the 7-string guitar and its G open tuning. For advanced guitarists.
