Notes on this edition

This edition of the BWV 995 Lute Suite was conceived as a performers edition and should not be taken for anUrtext, thoughsome notational practices were adopted to distinguish between original notation and editorial additions. Thus solid slursand ornaments not printed in brackets are Bachs, while dotted slurs and ornaments in brackets are editorial. Dotted slursmay indicate either technical slurs (ligados) or interpretative slurring across two strings.

Where the ambit of the guitar or the exigencies of the fretboard necessitate the octave transposition of individual bass notesor whole bass lines, this has been done silently. However, where individual notes in the middle voice have been omittedfor reasons of playability or interpretative licence, the passages in question have been flagged with the symbol [ *] and the

original text appears at the end of the edition.

Acknowledgements

This edition was set in MusixTEX version T.102. On the level of the typesetting, it owes its existence in no inconsiderable partto the many people on the TEX-Music mailing list (and its predecessor, MuTEX) who responded to online queries with helpand advice. In particular, my sincere thanks goes to Christian Mondrup and Rainer Dunker for their invaluable assistancein persuading MusixTEX to produce guitar fingering instructions.

But the finished edition is dedicated to Werner Icking because he remains the chief reason I was able to typeset a work ofthis complexity at all. From the moment I first began to experiment with MusixTEX, Werners patience and helpfulness introubleshooting source files and providing explanations and instructions via e-mail were nothing short of priceless. Evenduring the typesetting of this edition, a year after his death, I frequently found myself searching through the mail archivesof my correspondence with him for the half-remembered solution to some recurrent problem. Without Werner I could nothave begun this edition, much less finished it. His passing leaves me the poorer for a teacher and a friend.

On the level of the music, all my thanks is due to my teacher, Mara Isabel Siewers, during and between whose lessonsthis guitar edition gradually took shape and who generously consented to my making it freely available in the WernerIcking Archive. Much of the fingering is hers outright, the rest has at least her blessing, and the whole bears her stamp sostrongly and to such great benefit that all credit for the musical aspects of this edition is due to her alone. All errors andinelegancies, of course, remain wholly mine, whether musical or typographical.

Revision notes10.04.2002: Minor typographical errors in the fingering were corrected.

15.03.2004: PDF newly generated using slur font bugfix and pdftex to eliminate display problems in some versions of AdobeAcrobat Reader and decrease file size.
