Bach's six suites for solo cello (BWV 1007 to 1012) are considered to be the unmissable classics of this instrument's repertoire.
These suites are an essential part of the cello repertoire, firstly because of their musical qualities, then for their pedagogical and theoretical interest.
Bach highlights all the polyphonic possibilities of the instrument. Overall, the moderate technical difficulty of the first three sequels is no obstacle to their interpretation by all. Some dances are even perfectly accessible from the first years of the beginner.
In the conservatories and music schools, the suites are on the program of most contests and exams.
