Double Bass 5th bach suite

[eerbrev]

Anybody played the 5th suite? I've been thinking of working on it this summer in my spare time. I've heard a lot of people transpose it into A minor. Any verification on that? I don't think gary karr does on his version, but i could be way off in left field.

thanks in advance for any info.

Its typically done in a minor or bminor as a result of solo tuning, people sometimes attempt in c minor...doesn't typically sound as natural...

Thanks for the reply! I'll take that into account, definitely!

I play it in G minor, using the Sterling edition. It lies well in that key.
