With the two publications of EB 8234 and 8235, performer and teacher Ansgar Krause rounds off his adaptations of Bach's lute works for the guitar, whereby he consistently upholds the highest standards in his transposition of the originals. In the “Partita” BWV 997 (the customary work title “Suite” is stylistically problematic), Krause rejects the key of A minor, in which the work is normally found, preferring the compositionally more convincing B minor or, with capotasto, the original C minor. The multi-layered transmission often encountered in Bach's works is also used to good advantage: in the Fugue BWV 1000, Bach's own arrangement technique (for organ, in BWV 539) sometimes offers solutions surprisingly well suited to the guitar.
