Tabulated by Francis Poulin

Ok... First I have to say that all the partitions for the Toccata
available on the net sucks (sorry guys I know youve put a lot of
work in it)! So I made my own one and here it is: the true and only
one Toccata in D-minor

This is an adaption from the original organ score.

Legend:   . quarter note    : eighth note     sixteenth note
   
Adagio molto 
*The notes with no duration indication are sixteenth notes.

****************************************************************
17th bar: 7th & 9th notes changed from Bb (3rd fret 3rd string)
to B (4th fret 3rd string)

Fugue by JS Bach as found in "Toccata and Fugue in D minor".
~~~~~
Arranged for Classical guitar by David Atkinson (4/95).

Email [email protected] for suggestions.

OK.  Some of you may notice that it isnt in D minor but you cant
have everything!!!  I put it in E minor for convenience.  And ...
I cut it short and added an ending.  If anyone can think of a better
one feel free to submit ideas.

Tune your guitar down two semitones if you must but its not worth it
unless you want to play with the record... but thats probably a waste
of time too.

v = accentuate these notes to bring out melody.

Suggested right hand fingering for bars 1-4:  a p a p a p etc...

Left hand fingerings will be included if theres the demand.
