G. Henle Verlag Six Suites BWV 1007-1012 for Violoncello Solo - Bach/Voss - Study Score - Book

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Editor: Egon Voss
Fingering/Bowing: Reiner Ginzel
Format: Softcover, Urtext Edition
Version: Study Score (pocket score)

The most important source for Bach's Cello Suites is a copy made by his wife Anna Magdalena because the autograph is no longer extant. As further copies show, the actual musical text is scarcely problematic. However, the slurs, which are particularly important for string instruments, are very inexact and compel the editor to make difficult decisions. The practical edition, HN 666, is in two parts. It not only offers the Urtext edition -- with preface and critical commentary -- but also a part for playing. This additional study score (HN 9666) contains the Urtext part, but in addition offers a reproduction of Anna Magdalena's copy. This means that both cellists and music lovers alike are able to form their own opinion about the much discussed problems.
