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 2023\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\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBE-240119\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISMN 979-0-706836-73-7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eListen to Alan Grundy playing the full Suite in C:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fontstyle0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1065\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ebBLXxoqLjM\" title=\"J.
