Bach Masterclass: Gigue from Suite No. 4 in E-flat major - Musings with Inbal Segev

Hello Cellists,
In their book, Dance and the Music of J.S. Bach, Meredith Little and Natalie Jenne discuss three different types of gigues. Our Gigue for today, the E-flat major from Suite No. 4, falls under the “Italian Giga type 1” category. Johann Mattheson writes that Gigues were written for fiddling, not for dancing. More on all of this in today’s masterclass!
Below is a link to my new album and a short reading list with helpful links for studying the Bach cello suites. Please let me know if you have any comments and/or questions, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for watching!!

“The Fencing Master” and the sequel, “Bach and the Happy Few,” are both must reads if I may say so, written by THE baroque cellist of our time, Anner Bylsma.

Another must-have is Barenreiter’s urtext edition, which contains facsimiles of the manuscript copies in the hand of Anna Magdalena Bach, Johann Peter Kellner, as well as the Westphal library manuscript (anonymous copiers), first editions, and more.

As usual, this is so helpful! As I’m not a pro, this is a difficult movement to pull off. I’ve been playing it with more “monotonous” bowings, so now my work is cut out for me.

[@Inbalsegevcello]

Don Newmeyer great! I’m so glad this helps.

[@donnewmeyer3133]

After following these suggestions for a couple years now, the results have been great. The bowings do make it easier to emphasize the movement of the bass line. After working out some more economical fingerings I am able to play it much faster than before.

Can u do a masterclass on Piatti Caprice no.7?

[@Inbalsegevcello]

Hi JayBTS (my son loves the band btw) I will add this to my list. I usually talk about pieces that are requested by a few cellists so hopefully there will be enough requests. Thanks for watching!
