Thank you. It adds a whole new dimension to music I’ve listened to all my life. As a cello student I’m just in awe. I can only dream of playing this divine music. You are so generous and so talented.
Hello! I am a cellist and I enjoy the quality of your online master classes. I get to understand the music so much better with your interpretations and fingerings. I was wondering if you would think about producing a masterclass on Gabriel Faure's Elegie in C minor, Op. 24. Thank you for producing such high quality videos for cellists like me. Please continue making them. You deserve more subscribers!
Rolling the chords is a great tip in here! I was discussing this with my teacher on the other day, whether we should break or roll the chords depending on the cello suite or the moviment, and she has a similar approach of yours in this regard. This piece is very expressive and really elevated. I heard this on a 5 strings instrument, it was very beautiful. But I have the impression that the adaptations with the 4 strings cello works really well, and requires creative solutions on string crossing and fingers. This is absolutely beautiful! I love the double stops on the bars 16 to 22, they are kinda melancholic but contain plenty of lyricism! Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏🏽❤️🎶 PS: I have the Barenreiter’s urtext edition for the Cello Suites! It is really great!
Hi Ivan, thanks very much for writing. I am so glad that my musings helped. Since I posted the video I continued learning and speaking with historically informed Baroque players and learned that sometimes (we discussed the 5th suite) the right choice might be playing the chords two strings at a time and not necessarily rolling them, so I guess the biggest take away is that there are so many ways of playing and our task as performers is questioning and exploring, which is exactly what you are doing. Have a great day, Inbal
Hello there, lots of Cellists are getting 5 String Cellos because they're much more affordable these days. The Luis and Clark makes Carbon Fiber instruments and the 5 String Cello will be your next one. You can just travel with the 5 String Cello and leave the other one at home when going to concerts, and there are some reasons why a 5 String Cello could make things alot simpler, 1) the higher notes for all cello pieces (including the 6th suite) can be played more easily on the High E String (which is an octave below the Violin E String), 2) it has much more resonance and sustain, 3) anything written for the Violin can be played on the 5 String Cello like Bachs Violin Concertos.
@@Inbalsegevcello There's a good reason why a 5 String Cello might be the next Cello cause you can read Violin sheet music and play it all down an Octave on the 5 String Cello since it has a High E like the Violin.
Beautiful playing! Thanks!
I agree. Your cello is delicious! It’s so nice to watch your videos with your beyond beautiful playing and generous sharing of insights. Thank you!
this is my favorite fingering tutorial now
Bryan Gao helps a lot

This video series is a public service. Amazing.
Hi Inbal, thanks so much for making this video. I just started learning this Sarabande and your fingerings really helped!
This is actually so helpful with learning the piece thank you so much
Josiah Chen I am so glad it helps!!
Bruh her vibrato is so freaking good. So dreamy

CircuitsAndStrings 2 Mr Stern I rarely play works for violin because I find they sound better on their intended instrument but there are exceptions.
@@Inbalsegevcello I think Violin works sound better on the 5 String Cello down an Octave because the lower octave is much more calming.
Hello! Its very fun to study thank you ! l didnt know what to left finger sift !
Imo this is the most difficult movement of the Bach cello suites (on a 4 string instrument that is)
It's easier on a 5 String Cello.
I noticed a lot of cellist use shirts with baggy arms is this part of the culture?
