Edition of J.S. Bach Suites for Cello

Uzi Wiesel’s study and performances of the J.S.Bach solo Cello Suites enriched his life and audiences over more than 5 decades.

His life work of the Suites edition is more of a work in process rather than a definite edition. As with his philosophy of teaching he wanted to set a direction for musicians to follow and create their own individual path on the basis of knowledge and guidance.

This edition is for the benefit of cellists and other musicians trying to understand the musical ideas of J.S.Bach. In this edition Uzi Wiesel relies on his vast performance and teaching experience to give his perspective on performing the Cello Suites. It aims to encourage further thinking, not only about the "how" but also about the "why". A special novelty is Uzi Wiesel's adaption of Bach's Lute version of the 5th Suite for Cello.

Once the idea and logic behind the edition is studied and understood, the rich layers of the music become apparent, studying as well as performing the Suites gathers new dimensions without dictating a way of playing.
