The Cello Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Antônio Meneses

The Cello Suites are a set of six suites for unaccompanied cello by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1717–1723. They present Baroque dance movements and contrapuntal writing adapted for a solo instrument, outlining technical and expressive possibilities that became central to the cello repertoire and to later performance practice.
