Critical report
“Best Edition 2000”
Urtext / Eds. B. Schwemer,
D. Woodfull-Harris
☞ BA 5216 (English)
This edition has made use of
all the five sources which have
come down to us. The basis is
the most reliable of the
sources, the manuscript
copy in the hand of A. M. Bach.
All variant readings from the
four other sources are clearly
laid out for performance.
Cellists now have the
possibility of rendering
performances based on just
one of the five sources as well
as of combining the sources in
a mixed version.
“Bärenreiter has published
a treasure here ...”
(American String Teacher)
“... a very valuable edition
that should be in the library of
every thinking cellist.”
(Strings)
“This is definitively an
impeccable edition, which will
certainly soon become a
fundamental part of the library
of any cellist ...”
(Goldberg Magazine)
“This new edition is
remarkable, historically as
accurate as perhaps an editor
can be using currently available
materials, and provoking
thought and interest in the
performer... A modern
performer really should be
aware, as far as possible, of the
composer’s intentions as far as
possible, and this edition is
unsurpassed in helping to
achieve this. This is a must for
any serious cellist.” (Ensemble)
“It is a very innovative
publication, setting a new
standard for performance
studies for the next century.”

Six Suites
BWV 1007-1012
for violoncello solo
Ed. A. Wenzinger
☞ BA 320
This edition includes fingering,
dynamics, slurs, and articulation
markings by the Swiss cellist,
gamba player, teacher and
conductor August Wenzinger
(1905–1996). It provides an
excellent guide for an informed
interpretation of the famous
suites and is very well suited
for cellists approaching these
works for the first time.
