The Bach Cello Suite #1 Masterclass

[George K]

Because I fell into the YouTube rabbit hole of Master and Commander, it led me to some videos of the Bach Cello Suite #1.

Fascinating to see Zander compare this prelude to the C-Major prelude from WTC #1.

"Everything is a chord."

If you see NOTHING else, just FF to 13:00...10 seconds of laughs.

I've always enjoyed Zander's work. He has a remarkable enthusiasm for the music, and his lectures on the Mahler symphonies are worth listening to (particularly #4, as I recall).

Yes it was!

My teacher was a lot like this in lesson. So full of enthusiasm for the music. He has the same type of attitude toward his teaching. I miss taking lessons from him.
