Rondeau in A by David Kellner for Guitar

David Kellner (1670–1748) was a German composer of the baroque period and a contemporary of Bach. He wrote a sizeable amount of compositions for the lute but also theory of music and equal temperament. His diagram of the circle of fifths is the earliest extant examples. This Rondeau in A Major is charming intermediate work that sits on the guitar fairly well with the exception of one or two bars that require some practice. I’ve made a notation version and a notation plus TAB version. I based my arrangement on the original lute tablature (see the PDF). Join the Email Newsletter to get updates on sheet music and more.
