About the Cello Suites, BWV 1007-1012
Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suites Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, BWV 1007 and 1009-1012: thirty movements, prelude to gigue, the unaccompanied repertoire every cellist reads and every low instrument borrows. Suite No. 2 is not included.
Source: Cellofun.eu's editions, dedicated to the public domain; Suite No. 2 is Frédéric Boulanger's transcription, CC BY-SA 4.0.
Each study is transposed and re-clefed into the instrument's range and engraved at a 7.5 mm staff with a printer's margins. A short study shares a page rather than leave half of one empty, and a long one opens on a spread: never a turn inside a study.
For you and your studio
Print as many copies as you need for yourself and your own students. The file itself is not to be passed on or posted.
Cut for double bass
Every study sits in and reads in its clef, so nothing has to be transposed at the stand.
