Suite in G minor, BWV 995
The Suite in G minor BWV 995, is a piece written by the composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Written between the spring of 1727 and the winter of 1731, it is a transcription of the Cello Suite No. 5, BWV 1011 by the same composer.
The organist Wilhelm Tappert first claimed in 1900 that the arrangement is for lute, although there is no evidence for this. The musicologist Hans Radke has pointed out that "It is notably evident that the Suite in g-minor ... cannot be played note-for-note on the lute.”[1]
