Oh, Maxim, I can't express how thankful I am, and how much I appreciate your slow tempo playing of these suites. While they are to be played at a faster tempo, you display them in a such a wonderfully, stately fashion.
Hello sir, I am studying cello and at the moment Bach (minuet, bourrée, etc.) But I am encountering a difficulty. I accelerate as I progress through the score. Should I work with a metronome to slow down my playing ? thank you for your videos with slow tempo. what is the tempo of this bourrée ?
Hello! It's common for musicians to inadvertently change tempos, especially when navigating more familiar or technically easier sections of a piece. Using a metronome is an excellent way to develop consistent tempo and rhythm. Here's what you can do: Start by setting the metronome to a comfortable tempo where you can play the piece without mistakes. Gradually increase the speed as you become more confident. If you're rushing or dragging specific notes, try setting your metronome to subdivide the beats. This can help in maintaining a consistent rhythm, especially in passages with faster note values. Identify which sections or passages cause you to accelerate. Practice these separately, ensuring you maintain a steady tempo. As for the tempo of the bourrée, there is no pre-set tempo. It is always based on the interpretation of the performer. I hope it helps - all the best to you!
Can I ask about the trill in the first chord in bar 3? Is that implicit with this style of music? It’s not in any of the sheet music I’ve seen. The second chord in bar 5 doesn’t have a trill, but is notated identically.
Excellent question! Traditionally, all embellishments are added by a performer. For these recordings I am trying to stay as close to my favorite Barenreiter edition, but sometimes I can not resist to add them :). Some of the cellists are adding different embellishments when they even repeat each part.
Many thanks for the slow version, nice to hear every detail of the notes.

3:21 Bourree II
6:33 Bourree I da capo
Con Bach se acaba el barroco. Me fascina...
Hey community feel free to throw me any tips for this. Some of the shifts are a bit awkward for me

@@Cellopedia Thank you. As you may guess, I'm a beginner cellist learning this piece.
Nil but this video is underrated
