The Bach Cello Suite No. 1 Study Book for Cello Cassia Harvey

The Bach Cello Suite No. 1 Study Book helps you learn and perfect every measure of J. S. Bach's Suite in G major for solo cello.

The first Bach Suite is broken down into short sections and taught through carefully graded exercises that help you learn the notes and positions in the Suite. The entire first cello suite is presented at the end of the book.

Skills that would otherwise be difficult, such as shifts and string crossing, can now be mastered! You can be free to concentrate on artistic expression by solidifying your cello technique before you approach repertoire and this book helps you do just that.

The Bach Cello Suite Study Book gives you essential tools to be a better cellist. The Bach Suite No. 1 in G Major uses first, second, third, fourth, and fifth positions, as well as double stops in these positions. Study of these positions is recommended before beginning this book. See the following books for help learning these positions: Second Position for the Cello (CHP114), Third Position for the Cello (CHP116), Fourth Position for the Cello (CHP131), Fifth Position for the Cello (CHP198), Double Stop Etudes for the Cello (CHP202), and Double Stop Shifting for the Cello (CHP219).
