Bach - Cello Suite No.1 vi-Gigue

[SuperduckyHoR]

Playing this. It's not as hard as I thought it would be (Easier than the prelude for sure), but is presenting enough of a challenge for an intermediate cello player such as myself.

Cellists from whole world send me e-mail,i want to talk about cello....

[chillermafia]

i always wonder about some video suggestions beside cello videos .....

[wienerdogs4eva]

zohan plays cello?!?

[TheDancer11304]

I really like playing this! But to make it better, what should I do?

[RunescapeWideos]

I want to learn to play cello; my highest goal is to play this piece. Can anyone show me the sheet music?

[Bl00DN00B]

@RunescapeWideos google it :) and btw didint know someone who played runescape would like classical music lol :P

[RunescapeWideos]

@Bl00DN00B We're not all stupid fifth graders ;) some of us enjoy finer things.

[heisul]

@RunescapeWideos why don't you try the library? it might be available online, too - just search for it

[kikkimaki]

@BenMurrie I was asking the room he is playing in. But now I realized he is playing every suit in another room of a chapel (?), church or a museum (whatever) not every movement. Pardon me...

He plays well this is the important point I think. :)

[kikkimaki]

Does he play every movement in another place? Loved the playing but don't get this...

[PartiallyFunctional]

@nequillim Lmfao, are you actually serious? You're so childish, grow the fuck up.

[ThatCoolGuy6969]

@PartiallyFunctional

Trolled hard, my man

[TheHistorianx3]

@nequillim You just proved everybody's point by that retort.

[PartiallyFunctional]

@nequillim Well then quit bragging about how amazing you are in comparison to how bad he is; you've just made yourself look totally ignorant and rather stupid.

[Augoree123]

@nequillim Kinda butting in, but you were appearently "Working on this song" and you don't play any instruments? suspicious.

[PartiallyFunctional]

@nequillim Fine, prove it. Upload a video of you, sat on the toilet, performing this piece on your cello. I seriously doubt you'll be as amazing as you claim to be.

[PartiallyFunctional]

I'm starting this piece over the Summer holidays and I found this really helpful, thanks! Is it just me, or did he play the last note slightly off and then slide onto it?

[Bromthebard]

This guy is the Roger Bobo of cello. (for those of you who don't know who that is, he is one of the best tuba players ever).

[kungfudancin]

@Gamered125 Thank you! I'll keep this in mind =]

[tinsh0es]

Bravo Maestro!

[pchantreau]

@nequillim Well, we can't wait to be enlightened. Can you point us to your recordings? Any live performance coming up? Considering how good you claim to be, if it's not already sold out, it surely will be an edifying experience.

[kungfudancin]

The book I have with this in it has no fingering suggestions, and I play it mostly in 1st position (shifting when its necessary (e on the A string for example) or when its easier) is that wrong?

[Celloloon]

@kungfudancin No it isn't wrong, it's not technically easier though...my teacher is making me play this using the lest amount of open A (or A string) and 1st p.as possible, if you want try playing it using mostly 3rd, 2nd, 4th, and 1/2 position,like instead of the open D in the pick up use your 2nd finger in 3rd p. on the G string and continue, by not playing all in 1st p.it makes it easier to play notes like the E on A without sifting all the way down. hope this helped a little :)

[prepirate]

Zangief is on Cello

[HeatherLeBas]

I love the passion he exudes when he plays :]

[claff564]

I love Metal and Hard Rock.....but this.....this beats everything :D Starting to learn the cello and I hope some day I would be able to play this :L

[borgoat21]

@claff564 To be honest, cello suite no.1 is relatively easy (all movements.) If you want a real challenge, try cello suite no. 6. Any movement from that one will give you a run for your money. ;)

[xXc00kieXmunsterXx]

I have to play this for competition today :/ it's really hard!!! D:

[jerry437]

/watch?v=woqTz3iG1a8

[jerry437]

See how this piece is difficult on a double bass ! ! !

[nine9below0zero]

you haven't? haha, where have you been all this time!

[Juliusthebastard]

I'm from Ireland, and I play traditional Irish fiddle, as well as classical trumpet.

What I love about this piece especially is that it really shows how a "jig" and a "gigue", aside from being pronounced almost the same, are also basically the same in form and sound. This could well be a tune you'd hear some old fella in the back of an Irish pub playing...

[SupremeTroller]

*Yawn*

Boring. Terribly played.

[pokelove9]

@SupremeTroller

wow how can you say that??? D<

[jramz91]

@SupremeTroller I guess your name is a true statement... bastard

[GlobalProductions123]

@SupremeTroller LEARN TO APPRECIATE CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!!!

[ktmad]

He Definately looks like Serj Tankian!! :P

Great music though :)

(A-Level Music. North Wales)

[alissaolives4ever]

okay, well, whether or not you think he looks like Jesus doesn't matter; he plays cello incredibly. no matter what he looks like. i'm learning this piece (adapted for viola) and this is so inspiring. i wish i could play this way...

but, @rvs1, i don't wish to get into a theological debate with you, but it's pretty hard to deny that Jesus walked on this earth as a man of flesh. whether you believe he is who he says he is...well, that's up to you. but most archaeologists agree that there was a m

[GreatPercussionist]

He plays this too short, for me.

[cosentinospk]

I'm a strict Hip-hop fan, but I have to admit, this is good.

[TheImpressionable]

@cosentinospk good playing or good music?

[m4dn3ss]

amazing! always funny to see how far he got the endpin out.

[rintintinkle]

i bet jesus would like this

[pie1442]

ikr....jesus!! but still awesome!!!!

[XxRockxTomxX]

I think this one was his favorite.. Look at how much he moves as compared to all the others(: Completely gorgeous.

[nicolas12189]

he changed some of the song

[boonefiddler]

Very nicely done! Good dance-like character. I recently learned this on electric bass and posted a youtube video of my playing. I transposed it to D major to better suit the standard tuned 4 string bass. I try to use hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides to imitate the cello bow on the slurs.

[nicolas12189]

any1 knwo what model that cello is?

[danielkirk1]

@nicolas12189 I'm not sure, but i bet it's worth more than my house probably lol.

[nicolas12189]

lol

[nicolas12189]

a im screwed i have to play thisby next week!

[EVANgenesisX]

Such a playful tone. I love Bach's music.

[Ilovemusic1219]

im working on this piece right now and i love it!! im working on finishing all of suite no. 1. i love bach!

[crediama]

bravissimo esecutore di bellissima composizione del grandissimo BACH

[yozz555]

how can i ensure that the notes that are to be slured in a fast manner, are played clearly, especially on the cello/bass?

[Pen2AndyP]

Play almost right on the fingerboard and loosen your bow grip.

[C33Four]

Its just 16th notes. He's just playing somewhat fast, so it seems like he's 'slurring,' but he's actually just trying to keep time.

[TheXylophone123]

Practise, practise, PRACITES! That's an order.

[Ken2234]

release quick or press hard with a steady bow

[Ilovemusic1219]

try throwing your fingers down on the fingerboard to make them clear. also try playing with your bow closer to the bridge. it tends to give a move rich sound and its easier to use less bow in all peices

[ElDoucho]

You're not too bright, are you?

[canadagirl18]

hey,I'm playing this song on cello now! I think I play it a little too fast though..oh well

[ElDoucho]

Make like a turtle.

[canadagirl18]

what does that mean

[ahryko]

sharp

[TearsBehindSmiles]

I had to play part of this for an audtion once. On flute, though... It's a good piece, but a little fast when you have to learn it along with two other pieces, two pieces for a different audtion, music for a concert, and all major and minor scales for a high school audition.

[Cellokidrocks]

YouTube is my favorite practice tool. You can find so many recordings of the same piece and so many different styles. It just gives you so many ideas!

[ericoschmitt]

@Cellokidrocks after the microwave oven, youtube is the second best invention by man!

[Requeium]

@ericoschmitt and mayonnaise =P

[ericoschmitt]

@Requeium but what do you prefer: mayonnaise on cold food, or hot food?

[WookieeCookies]

this song is great because it's easy to play and sounds good too, fast or not so fast hehe.

[christinag0407]

i have to play this solo on the cello for a solo contest

[Xovious]

Have to or want to?

[christinag0407]

srry for replying late. i HAVE to but it wasnt bad.

[yozz555]

hey, now my orchestra wans me to play this on the double bass?! and its fast!!

[rzmarcin]

Don't worry, I played on double bass faster, it's possible, simple example - look at my profile (if I practiced more, I would have played better) :)

[huddlewitz]

i can play this on my cello, but not as fast....

[crazydhesi]

Yeah it was fun!

[crazydhesi]

Im playing this for fun on the bass clarinet. This was played very well and helps me know how it is supposed to sound.

[drknessgathrs]

lol. I played this one bass clarinet when I was in high school. It was a ton of fun.

[Haku48089]

I need to learn to play this on the trumpet.

[CommieCommander]

Man. My trombone professor is having me play this. It's a lot harder when one is required to breathe...A fun movement of the suites, but tough because I'm trying to figure out and imitate the bowings.

[soccer7777]

This is really good, but everytime I see Maisky's face, I can't help but think he looks like Jesus.

[FreyofKtau]

lol lol lol

buy yes .... he looks like jesus .... and play like god himself

[cubsfan1908]

he looks like Frank Zappa

[iorixs]

@soccer7777 how do you know what jesus looked like

[IITajann]

@soccer7777 Jesus is a Jew, not a European white male, despite the paintings hang everywhere.

[rvs1]

@IITajann Jesus was a jewish character in an ancient fantasy book, how would anybody know how he looked like if this Jesus was just a imaginary role in a book?

[TheImpressionable]

@IITajann the two aren't mutually exclusive you idiot.

[raulishnikov]

@soccer7777 When you see him at that age, he looks like Jesus, when you see him at his actual age you think you are watching GOD itself, and far from wrong...

[Cypeq]

@soccer7777 yeah every guy with beard looks like jesus -_-' ? how dumb is that ?

[elitist08]

@Cypeq Apparently that was a very intelligent joke and your ignorance would not let you laugh without complaining.

[Cypeq]

@elitist08 apparently i have never consider statement "he looks like jesus" as a joke of any sort and if you find that inelligent joke well... depends of your inelligance

[elitist08]

@Cypeq

It's "Intelligence" and not "Intelligance" my simpleton friend.

Oh, the irony.

[anotherworld67]

@soccer7777 have you ever seen jesus?

[ihategeorgedubyabush]

@soccer7777 maybe he is Jesus

[FreyofKtau]

yust amazing zhis guy

[Emimilykity]

I am in 8th grade and I have been playing the cello for 5 years and I loved the orchestra soo much it is like my life! and it was my elective and I had gotten 3 F's and the school kicked me out of that class and I balled my beautiful eyes out for the rest of the day and the principal didn't realize how much orchestra meant to me and so she gave my life back to me THEY JUST HAD TO SWEEP THE RUG RIGHT FROM UNDER MY FEET AND WATCH ME FALL INTO TEARS but I'm working toward how well Mischa plays :D

[jpdemers]

i know sort of what u mean. im in 9th grade, been playing for 9 years. music=life

[mbw12194]

yeah me too ninth grade been playin since fifth and yea, music=life when im not swimming or jumping bmx bikes

[SolarJakee]

What the fuck are you talking about "my beautiful eyes"?

[RonandHerm]

i miss playing the cello

[Drtysmith]

He makes it look so easy! I really miss playing my violin:(

[cellochik19]

this piece makes me smile when it starts. idk why its just a happy and free piece. anyone else get that feeling?

[five6eight3]

Look at those facial expressions!! I wish I was that uninhibited when I play.

[retaker]

I can play this on sax

[oeppevnvpeb]

it's pretty good.  i'll bet i could do better if i knew how to pay the 'cello.

[SithRage]

that is the most asinine comment i've ever read on Youtube.

[zeboot77]

he was being sarcastic, dork. try not to take yourself too seriously now.

[Marcomedina]

Actually, he probably thinks he could play the cello well, maybe because he knows the concepts, or can moves his fingers well, or plays it in his mind... whatever the case he's already posted the same comment on the previous video of this amazing performance. But on the other hand he could also be acting sarcastic. He worded it more sarcasticly in the other video.

[Suzette001]

So beautiful it takes my breathe away! One of my favourite Bach compositions. It is so well interpreted and played.

[sinichisuzuki]

muy buena tocada de este wey

[adelaidegraca]

Mischa was younger!

Beutiful playing!!
