Notes

Bach probably wrote this prelude while he lived in Cothen (1717-1723). It only survives in a lute manuscript, but it is possible, perhaps even probable that it was originally written for a keyboard instrument. Today it's popular both among pianists and guitarists. On guitar it's usually played in D minor.
