Prelude from Suite No. 1 for Cello (BWV1007) arr. Manuel Ponce
Performed by Andrés Segovia, recorded in 1935
Original by J.S. Bach
Tabbed by Willem de Pous(holypunk@hotmail.com)

This tab is for the version of prelude of BMV1007 recorded in 1935 by Segovia.
I actually had a slightly easier version also recorded by him, but later I
bought a CD which had this version on it. It says on the CD that it was
arranged by Manuel Ponce, but I'm not so sure that's true...

I did not include the left-hand-fingering, I didn't feel like it because i do

mot have the time at the moment. If you really need to know what the LHF is,
than email me and I will upload a new version to the
Classical Guitar Tablature page.

The normal version of this piece, arranged by John Williams is the purer one;
it sounds more beautiful than the Segovia version. But this one is much more
fun to play and it sounds more interesting. It has quite a high tempo with
those 16th notes, but try to get a nice sound from it as well.

From the 37th measure to the ending there are some extra things which I did
not put in the tab or the midi file (unfortunately I couldn't make the midi
file sound the same as how Segovia plays it - it would help if you know
Segovia's playing-style). I think I tabbed it pretty well, but if you have
any suggestions please let me know at holypunk@hotmail.com

Have fun playing!

LEGEND

Arp = arpeggio, play the bass note just a bit earlier than the high note.

Sometimes I've put a 'p' under the score, these 2 or 3 notes need to be played
with the thumb which must not sound too arpegiated. Not only do they need to be
played with the thumb, they need to be played firm and loud.

There's a 'p' in bars 15, 31 and 42.

Prelude from Suite No. 1 for Cello (BWV1007)

By: J.S. Bach

Here is the more advanced version of Bach’s Prelude from Suite No. 1, and is
the version that Segovia and other masters commonly performed and recorded.
Some of the previous versions, while holding true to the original cello music,
lack the additional polyphony and melodic bass lines that really make this song
stand out on guitar (but they are still fine versions and I recommend less
experienced guitarist to play them). This version is however considerably more
difficult and will require a good bit of dedication to make it sound as good as
Segovia.

I tabbed this directly from old sheet music and played it a few times to make
sure the transitions worked, but as always, there may be a few mistakes so
if there are any outstanding issues please e-mail me at
jonny_hotnuts@hotmail.com
