| Bach: Six Cello Suites, with Study Guide adapted for Bass Clarinet | ||
|
It's the 11-page Study Guide that sets this publication apart from other transcriptions. For as long as I've been playing Bass Clarinet, Bach's cellos suites have remained on my music stand. They're ideal for tone studies, phrasing, intonation, and passagework; but more important, they're a wonderful insight and workbook in the study of harmony, form, and counterpoint. This book presents the six cello suites with no tempi, dynamics, or phrasing, and the Study Guide teaches how to explore everything about playing music, through practicing (or performing) the suites. Here is the table of contents: HOW AND WHY TO USE THIS STUDY GUIDE I. PLAYING THE CELLO SUITES FROM THIS EDITION More About Phrasing and Interpretation Ornamentation Adapting Cello Music for Wind Instruments II.
