Hideki Yamaya plays the Preludio from Partita for Solo Violin No. 3 in E major BWV 1006 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750). Arranged for mandolino (Baroque mandolin) by Hideki Yamaya on a Mandolino by Mel Wong, San Francisco, California 2019. You might have seen Yamaya featured on the site a few times for his work with the Schneiderman-Yamaya Duo with John Schneiderman. Great to hear his charming and virtuosic solo performance. I love the plucky and rhythmic sound and fantastic musical ideas, counterpoint, and phrasing throughout.

I have the sheet music for the lute version available, Prelude BWV 1006a by Bach, the unfingered notation version is free but I also have a fully fingered notated edition or tab edition.
