J.S Bach - 6 Cello Suites arranged for Viola BWV 1007-1012 Book📚 

Genre: Classical

Level: Advanced / Grade 6,7, & 8

The Edition Peters book featuring J.S. Bach's 6 Cello Suites, arranged for solo viola by Simon Rowland-Jones, is an expertly curated selection targeted at advanced viola players. With a level designation for grades 6, 7, and 8, this book is intended for musicians who have a strong command of their instrument and are looking to delve into more complex pieces.

Originally composed for the cello, these suites are iconic pieces that explore a myriad of technical challenges and emotional depths. The arrangement for solo viola offers a fresh perspective, capitalising on the viola's unique, darker timbre to bring new interpretive possibilities to these well-known works.

The book is a valuable resource for serious viola players, whether they are performers looking to expand their solo repertoire or educators seeking challenging material for their advanced students. The idiomatic arrangements ensure that the suites feel as natural on the viola as they do on the original cello, offering an enriching and rewarding musical experience.

    Who Was Johann Sebastian Bach?

    Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque era. He is renowned for his intricate compositions and for the intellectual depth of his work. Notable for both his choral and instrumental music, Bach's repertoire includes the Mass in B Minor, the Brandenburg Concertos, and 'The Well-Tempered Clavier.' His compositions are considered some of the greatest in Western classical music history. Bach held various musical posts throughout his life, including positions at the courts of Weimar and Köthen, and finally as Cantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. His influence on subsequent generations of composers is immeasurable.
