Repertoire
The six suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) not only represent the cornerstone of the cello repertoire; they are among the most recognizable and profound instrumental works in all of Western music. Ever since the great Catalan cellist Pablo Casals resurrected the suites from relative obscurity in the early part of the 20th century, they have arguably been studied and performed more than any set of pieces by any composer.
