| Abstract | J. S. Bach's Suites for Unaccompanied Cello are among the most cherished and frequently played works in the entire literature of music, and yet they have never been the subject of a full-length music analytical study. The musical examples (printed in a separate volume for ease of reference) include every note of all movements, and illustrate both basic analyses--harmonic reduction, functional harmonic analysis, step progression analysis, form analysis, and syntagmatic and paradigmatic melodic analysis--of the suites and specialized analyses of some of the individual movements. The author presents a comprehensive study intended not only for cellists but also for other performers, music theorists, music educators, and informed general readers. |
