Six Cello Suites for Solo Viola, BWV 1007-1012 by Johann Sebastian Bach
Arranged and edited by Watson Forbes. Published by Chester Music
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer of the Baroque period and widely considered one of the greatest composers in the Western canon. He carefully studied the work of his forebears and contemporaries, incorporating intricate counterpoint and harmonic innovations into a sophisticated style that represents the zenith of the Baroque tradition. Though he wrote predominantly religious music-including several passions and over 200 cantatas-he is most celebrated today for his profoundly moving instrumental music, including concertos, suites, and sonatas, including many for strings-such as his Cello Suites and Sonatas and Partitas for violin.
Bach's six suites for unaccompanied cello (BWV 1007-1012) form the bedrock of the cello repertory and are indispensable to a classical cellist's development, ranging from the intermediate level Suite No. 1 to the master level Suite No. 6. They are likewise central (in transcription form) to the viola player's repertory. This edition by Watson Forbes presents Suite No. 5 in natural tuning and Suite No. 6 in a transposition from D Major to G Major. Ranges from Grades 3-6 in difficulty.
