Introduction J ohann Sebastian Bach composed for the 1ute throughout most of his life. The First Lute Suite was composed in Weimar (1708-1723), the Fourth Lute Suite, the Prelude in C minor and the Fuge in G minor in Cothen (17171723), the Second Lute Suite, the Third Lute Suite, and the Prelude, Fuge, and Allegro in Leipzig (1723-1750). Bach also wrote specifically for the lute in an aria in the Saint J ohn Passion and in a recitative in the Funeral Music for Queen Christiane Eberhardine. We know that Bach was a good friend of the great German lutenist Silvius Leopold Weiss and establíshed contacts with J. Kropfgans and E. G. Baron, both well-known lutenists in Europe. While living in Cothen Bach invented an instrument he called a LuteClavicembalo, a keyboard instrument meant to imitate the sound of a 1ute. This leads one to assume that much of Bach's lute music was meant for this instrument or that the instruments were interchangeable. In all the Suites, however, the writing is completely idiomatic to the 1ute. The Fourth Lute Suite and the Fuge in G minor are transcriptions from the solo violín partitas and the Third Lute Suite is a transcription from the solo cello suites. The remaining compositions were written exclusively for the lute. In this edition 1 have tried to footnote every editorial change, with the exception of octave transposition and omamentation. Octave transposition is shown r,. This indicates that it was written down an octave in the original. 1 wou1d suggest that one should use this book in conjunction with the Bach-Gesellschaft edition to realize any changes in omamentation. All the phrase markings from

Q

the Gesellschaft have been kept intacto A dotted 1ine indicates a 1eft-hand slur and is always editorial. ~.~.
