Jonann Sebastian Bach Cello Suites 1 6 BWV 1007 1012 Vito Paternoster complete

The six Cello Suites by Johann Sebastian Bach are some of the most frequently performed solo compositions ever written for cello. Bach most likely composed them during the period 1717–23, when he served as Kapellmeister in Köthen.
