It is taken from - Six Suites for Solo Violin - published in Dresden in 1696 (but possibly composed in the early 1680s), and predates the masterpieces for solo strings of J.S. Bach by over 20 years.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003e These works by Von Westhoff lay in obscurity for over 250 years until Peter Várnai announced their discovery in 1971 in Die Musikforschung. I have included copies of the original scores for those who wish to compare them with my transcription; furthermore, his unconventional use of an eight-line stave is worth viewing. He presented them in this unique manner to show the contrapuntal structure he was striving to create; however, this made them difficult to read, and other composers who followed did not adopt this system.\u003cbr\u003eIn my transcription, I made only minor adjustments to the original score to make it feel more natural on the guitar. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle2\"\u003eAlan Grundy 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct: \u003c\/strong\u003ePDF or Print on Demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages: \u003c\/strong\u003e16 pages \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel: \u003c\/strong\u003eIntermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrder number:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eBE-250212\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\"\u003eISMN 979-0-706842-98-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BERGMANN EDITION","offers":[{"title":"Self-print (PDF)","offer_id":54299349025112,"sku":"BE-250212","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Print on Demand","offer_id":54299349057880,"sku":"BE-250212p","price":18.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/1718\/9173\/files\/Westhoff-Grundy-SuiteinB-flatMajor_Page1_0.jpg?v=1738864930","url":"https:\/\/bergmann-edition.com\/ja-jp\/products\/westhoff-grundy-suite-in-b-flat-major","provider":"BERGMANN EDITION","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
