About this Work
Suite in E minor, BWV 996, is a musical composition written by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) between 1708 and 1717. It is probable that this suite was intended for the lautenwerk (lute-harpsichord).[1] Because the lautenwerk is an uncommon instrument, it is in modern times often performed on the guitar or the lute.
