6 Suites a Violoncello Solo senza Basso BWV 1007-1012

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Quirine Viersen

The Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello, BWV 1007–1012, are a set of six suites for solo cello by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed between 1717 and 1723. Written in the Baroque idiom, they employ successive dance-form movements and intricate implied polyphony to expand the technical and expressive possibilities of the solo cello, and they stand as a key component of Bach's instrumental output and of the solo cello repertoire in Baroque music.
