Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. Known as the father of classical music, Bach created more than 1,100 works, including roughly 300 sacred cantatas. His output is unparalleled and includes about every musical genre outside of opera. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations, and for vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival, he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
The six Cello Suites, BWV 1007-1012, are suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach. They are some of the most frequently performed and recognizable solo compositions ever written for cello. Bach most likely composed them during the period 1717-23, when he served as Kapellmeister in Köthen. The title given on the cover of the Anna Magdalena Bach manuscript was Suites à Violoncello Solo senza Basso (Suites for cello solo without bass).
Suite No. 2 in D minor includes the following movements:
Prelude
Allemande
Courante
Sarabande
Minuet I / II
Gigue
The Prelude consists of two parts, the first of which has a strong recurring theme that is immediately introduced in the beginning. The second part is a scale-based cadenza movement that leads to the final, powerful chords. I made the transcription for classical guitar.
巴赫: 无伴奏大提琴组曲前奏曲 (BWV 1008)
约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫（德语：Johann Sebastian Bach，1685年3月31日－1750年7月28日），巴洛克时期的德国作曲家，杰出的管风琴、小提琴、大键琴演奏家，同作曲家亨德尔和泰勒曼齐名。巴赫被普遍认为是音乐史上最重要的作曲家之一，并被尊称为“西方‘现代音乐’之父”，也是西方文化史上最重要的人物之一。
巴赫的无伴奏大提琴组曲，BWV1007-1012，大约作于1717年，克滕。巴赫的这一套组曲采取标准的古典组曲形式，即集数种古典舞曲组成。当时克滕宫廷中有两位古大提琴演奏家阿贝尔与李尼希克，巴赫以这两位演奏家作为对象作成这套组曲，这套组曲谱系巴赫的第二位妻子安娜•玛格达琳娜抄下来，原谱没有速度标记。这首吉他曲改编自无伴奏第2大提琴组曲(BWV 1008)的前奏曲。
