Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1687 - 1750) Dresden Suite No.6 Originally for lute in D minor (Sonata 11) Arranged for Guitar by Andrew Forrest This suite is taken from the Dresden manuscript of Weiss’ works. However, it is nearly identical with Suite No.7 in the London and Warsaw manuscripts so I have included some of the slight differences which I thought best suited to performance on the guitar. The baroque lute for which Weiss wrote had 13 courses including a complete diatonic scale in the bass. I have endeavoured to keep the performance of this piece simple though having to stop the strings for the bass part inevitably makes the piece less easy to perform and it has not been possible to include all the lower range of notes at their original pitch. In the event of a public performance, please include the composer’s and arranger’s name on the programme. © Copyright Andrew Forrest 2020 forrestguitarensembles.co.uk Fantasia, Allemande, Courante, Gavotte, Sarabande, Menuet, Giga My thanks go to Zurab Parastaev for his helpful suggestions and proof-reading.
