Some editions prefer high frets; other editions prefer low frets / open strings. The MIDI tempo is ~33 bpm (half notes). There is no repeat. measure 1 - in some editions the chord on the 1st fret is played with a barre on the 1st fret, and the next 4 notes are played on the 1st string measure 13 - in some sheet editions all the notes are played on the high frets measure 25 - most guitar arrangements have either E-G-D-F, E-B-D-F or E-G-B-D-F for the 1st chord, which all sound discordant (because of the E) -- Bach transcribed this piece from his Cello Suite BWV 1011 -- the chord in the Pollain edition of BWV 1011 is G-B-F (transposed) which is not discordant, and this has been used in the MIDI - 25 | . . . : . . . | . . . : . . .
