A Joyful Challenge for Bach Lovers
As an adult learner, I absolutely love this Parkening Plays Bach collection! It’s 'medium-difficult' but so rewarding to work through these beautiful pieces like 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.' Parkening's arrangements are wonderfully musical and inspire me to keep practicing. It truly helps me 'sound like the record' and brings so much relaxation and enjoyment to my weekend playing. A must-have!

Excellent for Intermediate Classical Guitar Students
This collection of Parkening's Bach arrangements is a superb teaching resource. The 'Intermediate' difficulty is spot on, and having the pieces 'edited and fingered by Parkening' is invaluable for students developing technique and musicality. The standard guitar notation is very clear, making it great for sight-reading practice and understanding Baroque counterpoint. Highly recommended for school and community use!

Insightful Bach Transcriptions for Study
While designed as a 'Guitar Solo' collection, Parkening's transcriptions of Bach are excellent for any musician studying voice-leading. For pieces like 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring,' the guitar arrangement provides clear insight into Bach's melodic and harmonic structure. It's invaluable for understanding the original compositions and adapting ideas for vocal work or general musical analysis, even if not a direct accompaniment.
