Preludio from Suite in Eb (BWV998)

by J.S. Bach

Revised by Bob Planque ([email protected]). All suggestions and
comments more than welcome.

Changed tuning to get deeper sound and added double base notes where
I thought they sounded well. Only the next to last bar may give
problems all the rest is quite straightforward. Note fingering in
measures 30 and 32.
