J.S. Bach: Suite No. 2 for Solo Double Bass, BWV 1008 transposed to G minor (Tramontozzi)

About the Transcription This edition is based on the autograph manuscript of Suite No. 2 in D minor for solo violoncello, BWV 1008 which exists in Anna Magdalena Bach's (Bach's second wife) hand. She often served as his copyist and was a very good musician in her own right. There does not seem to exist a manuscript in J.S. Bach's own hand. The music has been transposed to G minor (sounding a fifth lower). The printed slurs are my best understanding of what exists in the autograph. Fingering suggestions are in Arabic numerals. Sometimes I give more than one suggestion. When 2 or more notes are to be played at one time the vertical order of the fingerings corresponds to the vertical order of the notes. Roman numerals are used from time to time to make it clear on which string to play: I = G, II = D, III = A, IV = E.
