Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007: I. Prélude - Johann Sebastian Bach

Cello: Pablo Casals

“In the very early twentieth century, no other cellist cared to perform an entire Bach Suite at a recital or concert. They were considered to be either too academic and dry, or too uninteresting for most audiences, without some sort of accompaniment. Indeed, it must be admitted, that any cellist who performs a Bach Suite strictly by himself (there is an edition with a piano accompaniment, not by Bach) is baring his technique and musicality to the highest degree, and that’s a risky thing to do! Casals was astonished that anyone could think the Suites dry, or like an exercise book of scales for intermediate cellists, for he looked at the Suites from his own very Romantic soul, and found them to be full of the deepest meaning and pathos.

It is interesting that while Casals invested the Suites with a hitherto unknown Romanticism as far as their emotional content was concerned, he simultaneously modernized the technique with which they were performed. Cellists prior to Casals used fingerings that incorporated quite a bit of sliding around from note to note. Casals’ fingerings demanded more stretching, and leaps of the left hand, rather than sliding, creating a much cleaner and more musical impression”

Alternatives: Cello Suite No. 1 in G major - J.S. Bach

Bach wrote his six Suites for unaccompanied Cello at Cöthen, about the year 1720. It is thought that the first four of the Suites, at least, were written either for Christian Ferdinand Abel, bass viol player at Cöthen or, most likely, for Christian Bernhard Linike. Abel is not known to have been a cellist, while Linike was distinguished rather as a player of the Cello and in this capacity had been appointed to the musical establishment of the Margrave Christian Ludwig in Cöthen in 1716. Both musicians were friends and colleagues of Bach. The original autograph of the suites is lost and the earliest copy is that in the hand of Bach’s second wife, Anna Magdalena, made probably in 1727 or 1728 for the Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel chamber musician Georg Heinrich Ludwig Schwanberg, who had visited Leipzig at the time and taken lessons in thoroughbass from Bach, for whose daughter Regina Johanne he stood as godfather.

Each of the six cello suites opens with a Prélude. The Suite in G major, BWV 1007, has an introductory movement in which the changing harmonies are made clear by arpeggios, of which the pieces is based on. The usual Allemande and Courante are followed by a slow Sarabande, with a repeated Menuet I framing a G minor Menuet II. The Suite ends, with a Gigue.

Hours of playing through potential repertoire and many glasses of wine later, I decide to sight read something (@pavascotti_87 what was this?) with many notes (most of which were made up!) and turned the camera on last minute! More to come in future for sure!
