Several pieces appear in tablature for banjo with a second part for guitar: Inventions 1, 8, 13, and 14: March: Minuet in G: Polonaise in G minor: Minuet in G minor: and Musette. Others appear in notation and tablature for solo banjo: Prelude from Partita No. III for Solo Violin: Bouree II from Suite IV for Solo Cello: Menuets I & II from Suite II for Solo Cello: Courante from Suite I for Solo Cello: Gavotte en Rondeau from Partita No. III for Solo Violin: and Prelude from Suite I for Solo Cello. Finally, Bauerntanz is offered as a banjo duet in tablature only. Thesetranscriptions are taken from the recordings "The Classical Banjo" and "Bach on the Banjo" which take Bach's classic pieces to new heights.
