1. I listened to many performances of the Bach Cello Suites before deciding that, all in all, this one by Heinrich Schiff is more or less the best modern recording.

8. Bach's fifth cello suite, in C minor, continues the experiments with texture, style, and counterpoint undertaken in the first four works in the set of stonescarkagataursharphammer.xyzinfo calls for the top string of the cello to be played scordatura, in this case tuned down from A to G.

9. Bach turns the idea of a ‘Sarabande’ dance on its head in the peaceful second movement, altering the rhythms so the beats are stressed in what sounds like the wrong place.
