Bach, J. S. - Suite I for cello solo (piano accompaniment by Piatti)

To get the hard-copy version of this score, head to the HNE Store here.

The first cello Suite by Johann Sebastian Bach is, possibly, the most well-known and played piece of the cello repertoire. Many composers have felt the need to add a piano accompaniment to these already perfect gems, often resulting in dull harmonisation exercises.

This is not the case with Carlo Alfredo Piatti’s accompaniment, where many choices are clearly personal and original.

This editions includes a full score and a solo part with Piatti’s fingering and bowing suggestions, while the Critical Notes explain Piatti’s source management.
