Which
Bach Suite...
Which Bach Suite do you like the
most? I'm partial to number four, myself.

I also like number 4, for its dark
sonorities (because of how E Flat works on the cello) that many
cellists think of as a drawback.
#6 is great when played on a
5-string cello. The piece really does sound better without all the
stress and strain of playing without the top string. Imagine playing
any of the other suites without an A string!

Re:

I will cast a vote for the Fourth
suite as well......
My runner up is #2.
My favorite to play
is probably #3 (or 4), but I haven't done 6 yet so that could
change.

Hey
I like 4 too!
I always
thought that was weird... most people I hear talk about which one
they like best always say 2 or 3 or 5.
hmm.

I like 5, mostly because it's the
one that's hardest for me to play.

Re:

For me, it's got to be 5 and 6 hands
down (which is the only way I can play them! )
I
play them all the time (on my cd player! )

four?
I cried many a tear trying to get
that thing in tune, not to mention memorizing it! But I did grow to
love it. Right now I'm partial to 5 because of how the cello sounds
with a high g string.

Whichever one I'm working on at the
time! 
No, seriously... you can get so involved in the complexities
(and the beautiful simplicity)that yes, absolutely, *this* one is
the best... then you go on to another one at another point and get
drawn into that one. I guess it's a matter of personally *becoming*
your music.
Eep. Deep thoughts.

Re:

I like #6 on a 4-string cello best.
The tension created when playing higher up on the A string adds more
drama and excitement.
This is the one suite that is not
subdued by a lower registration. I like to think of a tenor singing
and reaching up for those high e's f#'s & g's.
