"Besides arranging the works of contemporaries such as Antonio Vivaldi and Alessandro Marcello, Bach tended to arrange his works for different instrumental settings. The most well-known example is the Preludio from Violin Partita no. 3, BWV 1006. He re-arranged it under the title Sinfonia in cantatas Herr Gott, Beherrscher aller Dinge, BWV 120a and Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir, BWV 29.” By Ming-Jui Liu; There are many transcriptions of this suite, we recommend the Frank Koonce edition or Tillman Hoppstock edition
