Sylvius Leopold Weiss

(1687 - 1750)

Dresden Suite No.12

Originally for lute in C major

Arranged for Guitar

by
Andrew Forrest

My thanks to Zurab Parastaev

for his helpful suggestions and proof-reading.

This suite is taken from the Dresden manuscript of Weiss' works.

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 arranger's name on the programme
