Hello Cellists,
Today we’re looking at Bach’s Sarabande from Suite No. 4 in E-flat. Topics include: suspensions, movement of the bass line, ornaments, Bach’s unexpected harmonic detour at the end, and much more!
Below is a link to my Bach album and a short reading list with helpful links for studying the Bach cello suites. Please let me know if you have any comments and/or questions, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for watching!!

“The Fencing Master” and the sequel, “Bach and the Happy Few,” are both must reads if I may say so, written by THE baroque cellist of our time, Anner Bylsma.

Another must-have is Barenreiter’s urtext edition, which contains facsimiles of the manuscript copies in the hand of Anna Magdalena Bach, Johann Peter Kellner, as well as the Westphal library manuscript (anonymous copiers), first editions, and more.
