Preface: Talle,
Andrew.
When we
think of the cello, we
automatically think of
Bach’s immortal
cello suites. They are
the very core of cello
literature, their
timeless beauty
accompanying cellists
from their student years
throughout the height of
their professional
careers.
Consideri
ng the works’
significance, the great
number of editions in
existence is not
surprising. However, the
composer’s
autograph has not been
preserved and is
considered lost. This
circumstance creates an
exceptional challenge
many editors faced over
the years. The four
autograph sources still
in existence and the
first print from 1824
show numerous small
deviations, especially in
terms of articulation
markings and
phrasing.
In this
two-volume edition of
Bach’s cello
suites, Andrew Talle now
presents an entirely new
view of the relationships
between existing sources.
The first volume contains
the edited musical text,
which comes as close to
the composer’s
original intention as the
surviving source material
allows: “This
edition does not
constitute a perfect
reconstruction of the
lost autograph; that is
something no editor could
claim to accomplish.
Instead, I have attempted
to supply musicians and
researchers with a
reliable version of the
surviving musical text of
the six cello suites, and
to convey a sense of the
many possibilities Bach
encouraged his musicians
to explore.â€The
second volume presents,
for the first time,
synoptically arranged
facsimiles of the
handwritten sources as
well as the first print
(with Suite No. V also
including Bach’s
own arrangement for
lute), allowing readers
to compare any specific
section in all sources at
one glance. This allows
for a straightforward and
immediate consideration
of all sources, making
editorial decisions
transparent and
self-evident.
Andr
ew Talle’s edition
is supplemented by a
comprehensive discussion
of the instrument for
which the suites were
created, as well as
information regarding
musical interpretation
during Bach’s
time.
