Subject: RE: acoustic versus electric !!!???
As a child, learning violin, I had to play toccata and fugue, although in Dmaj not min. This was part of my grade 7 exam, and an excellent study in using the middle two strings for having two tunes running simultaneously.

Many of Bach's cadence pieces play well on different instruments and I used to weave in bits of the first cello suite (in Gmaj) as part of a solo on my gretsch back when I played rock.

Old Johann, being a particular hero of mine gets to influence me. Don, you will find his work on more instruments than either of us could imagine. Classical guitar was after his time yet I have an excellent Julian Bream recording of many of his shorter pieces.

Still, not too sure of what your point is regarding acoustic v electric?
