Inside the Music: Decoding Bach’s Cello Suites
Tuesday, April 16 at 7:00 PM
Timeless and Universal.
The Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello are among Bach’s most celebrated works and have been described as some of the most profound and universal music in the Western Classical canon. During my student years I accepted these grandiose statements and superlative descriptions without question, but as young artist it has become essential to find my own reasons for what makes these Suites important in order to develop a meaningful personal interpretation.
Look at the Bach Suites through my lens of a young, professional cellist as we discuss the harmonic trajectory of the Suites/ inherent qualities of key, pulse as related to breath and “spirit,” instrumental vs. musical virtuosity, operating beyond conventional boundaries (instrumental, and subconscious imagination.)
