Prelude no.1   by Johann Sebastian Bach
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retabulated by correction of 'Jurgen's' post.

Looking at the original piano score I noticed some disparities between it
and Jurgen's tabulation.  I have therefore attempted to correct it.
Also, the low E must be tuned down to D

There may well be alternative positions that can be used so please don't
take what I've written as law!!!  Experiment...
Have fun.

It is Jurgen's from here on:

"
Prelude #1 was originally written as an exercise for Bach's students and
is probably one of the most famous preludes from "The Well-Tempered
Clavier". Every classically-trained pianist knows it, but it is
also a beautiful piece for guitar. It consists of a series of arpeggio's
and it should be played as smoothly as possible. Every measure must be
played twice, except for the last two (measures 34 and 35).
I jotted down this transcription a few years ago. I think it was in a
guitar-magazine in 1986 or 1987 or so and I didn't write down the names
of the transcriber and the magazine, so I hope I don't violate copyright-
laws with this posting. Well, here it comes:
