Category: Cello Solo ** Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach ** Title: Six Suites BWV 1007-1012 ** Edited by: Schwemer/Woodfull-Harris ** Publisher: Barenreiter Verlag URTEXT Edition ** Difficulty: 3-6.

The Bach Cello Suites are widely regarded as among the best music written for a solo instrument, and as a result they have been transcribed for a very wide variety of other instruments. Rediscovered and popularized by Pablo Casals a century ago, these suites vary greatly in difficulty and style. As a result, developing cellists tend to spend a great deal of time with these suites over the course of their education.

"The Bach Suites are and will be a lifetime of exploration, work, and passion. The range of difficulty and color in the Suites along with pedagogical value and pure enjoyment make them a must for cellists of all ages and levels. Since no autograph exists in Bach&#39s hand there are numerous editions available. The Wenzinger edition published by Barenreiter has become famous for its fairness to authentic interpretation, cleanliness to reading, scholarly suggestions, and generous price bracket. Every cellist should own at least one copy of the Suites for their library, and this edition is one of the best to start your journey!"

Scholarly critical performing edition in three parts: music, text, and facsimiles. The music volume includes all readings from the five sources laid out for performance * The text volume provides valuable information such as genesis of the suites, form and structure of the suites, and the cello and bow in Bach&#39s day * The facsimile volume presents each of the five sources separately in a large performance format.
