Arranged by Steve Newman. Baroque. Score and parts. 11 pages. Steve newman #3382531. Published by steve newman (A0.916581). SONATA for VIOLA de GAMBA + keyboard arranged for Treble Clef solo instruments J.S. Bach bwv 1029 This beautiful sonata (which could easily have been another Brandenburg concerto if Bach had chosen to orchestrate it) is too good to be just for violists and cellists. So here’s an arrangement in the Treble clef, which can be played by FLUTE, or VIOLIN, or SAX, or OBOE, or GUITAR instead of the original solo part in the viola clef. Also, the key has been transposed from G minor to A minor. Except for 2 measures in the first movement it is all playable without any octave jumps. (those 2 measures have the higher octave alternative written above the original for the wind instruments that can’t go down to A.) The accompanying keyboard part is available in many print editions and also can be downloaded from public domain sites like IMSLP. Clarinet, Soprano and Tenor Sax, can play accompanied by a real piano reading the original keyboard part. All the other instruments can be accompanied by an electronic keyboard reading the original part if the keyboard presses the appropriate transpose button. Steve Newman Nov 2017 newmans@cruzio.com
