Abstract

This paper presents a guitar fingering for transcriptions of Bach BWV 997 Lute Suite Prelude. The musical aspects approached to support fingering were divided and classified into motive; polyphonic melody; counterpoint; arpeggio and timbre homogeneity. We applied comparison as analysis model in some guitar transcriptions of this piece; in which diverse and distinct fingering notations were observed, concerning the representations of some rhythmic values and certain pitches.
