Cello Suite No. 4 in E-flat major , BWV 1010

by Johann Sebastian Bach

Cello Baroque Suite ~25 min advanced

The fourth suite marks a shift in technical demands, with the key of E-flat major requiring less resonant string crossings and more careful intonation. The Prelude is a grand, French overture-like movement. The Sarabande is one of Bach's most harmonically rich slow movements, and the Bourrées provide spirited contrast.
