| Description: |
We will never know what Johann was thinking when he penned the Unaccompanied Suites for Cello. As I've played this movement many times, it occurred to me that this movement is a journey. Playing the single part of the music is like walking on a path and looking only at the path. What would you see if you looked to the left, or the right, or even up? In this movement and in the movements that follow, I will show you what I think can be seen from that path.
This movement is bouncy and joyous. Listen to the music and I think you will want to recruit a bunch of cellists and have a go at it. |
