Bach, Three Sonatas for Cello and Harpsichord (Barenreiter)

J. S. Bach’s Three Sonatas, BWV 1027–1029, are sophisticated Baroque chamber works originally associated with viola da gamba and obbligato harpsichord, presented here in Bärenreiter’s version for cello and harpsichord or piano. Edited by Hans Eppstein and based on the Urtext of the New Bach Edition, the volume contains the Sonatas in G major, D major, and G minor. With the cello and keyboard sharing equally important musical roles, these works provide rich material for developing contrapuntal awareness, refined articulation, and expressive Baroque ensemble playing.
