  • Welcome to another J.S. Bach piece, this is the prelude from the Cello Suite BWV 1007, hopefully we are going to dive into the whole suite in a full series lesson. I think this prelude is the most popular piece of the whole suite.

    Be sure to check out vid number 2 where I talk about the kind of articulations I choose for this piece, that articulation idea will justify some fingerings you may find kinda odd. For the Backing Tracks I put the count in measure marking 8ths, but the real beat is 4ths, this kind of beat is important to get a nice feel for phrasing.

    Good Luck. Hope you like it.
