Bach for the Cello for cello and piano; Johann Sebastian Bach
Transcribed by Charles Krane. Published by Schirmer
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.
This collection brings many of Bach's memorable melodies together in easy, friendly first-position arrangements by Charles Krane, all ideal for beginners. Grade 2.
