One of the best pieces of music ever written.

[GroonCz]

I don't know, what to say. :')

[Inolbod]

There's a girl, a young pianist and composer who has composed a song for the piano after this wonderful prelude. Her name is Anna-Naoi Reid and the piece is called "My secret Bachyard"! Thank you for sharing!

[secondthridticket]

Trying to learn this on my 5 string bass x.x Problem is the frets are so flippin large compared to a normal bass

[BobbyD167]

[BachCellist]

I adore playing this piece. I have a hard time with the slurs though.....

[ThatRomanDude]

learning this on the piano, it's VERY hard. of course i've only been taking lessons for 5 years

[AnnaAndFriends14]

@ThatRomanDude i've only playing for 2 years and it's not that hard

[ThatRomanDude]

@AnnaAndFriends14 Ya but by your username i'm guessing your a girl, and girls learn differently than guys do. if not better

[nuclearTANK]

even though i listen to hip-hop, rap, and rock and stuff, i do appreciate classical music and this is my Fav, i listen to it when i do my homework

[larry89]

........SWAG!

[gitanecigarro]

In the last picture Johann looks LIKE A BOSS!

[ginger10155]

Good music comes and goes. But Great music stays in our hearts forever.... such as this, which will forever be with us:)

[EmbryonicIncubation]

Check out my Bass cover of this classic on my channel !

[clarividente22]

jajajajajaja me mataron los anteojos.

[peterframptonswang]

i am disappointed in how music has "evolved."

[shadysile]

@peterframptonswang I'm afraid music doesn't evolve by itself as an alienated entity, it changes according to social factors. I think you should better be disappointed at humanity, cultural status quos and current worldwide education. Those would be better targets rather than music itself.

[superkickass231]

@peterframptonswang Speaking of evolution, it actually pretty funny how I heard this song for the first time. I walked in a at&t store wanting to buy and iPhone and saw one on display. Hit the iPod tab for browsed through the song saw yo-yo ma so i hit that and heard one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Although I didn't get the iPhone I had gotten something that I didn't realize at the time was something that change my passion for music. Can't wait to preform this song :D

[slidingpenguins33]

@peterframptonswang Don't be disappointed, please look in the right places.... there are many great composers out there and rising! Do some research and let others know! Hans Zimmer, Aaron Copland... Yiruma, who does some great piano (please don't look up what he did in relation to twilight).

[clarinetgeek7299]

i feel like im on a gentle rolling wave, reccuring again and again with each phrase. bach is amazing.

[TheWasabi123]

lol @ back wearing sunglasses :P

[CronaNekox3]

[BroUghtBySea]

[BroUghtBySea]

when i closed my eye's i almost cried. it bring up every single memory

[ongawesgone]

Always been a fan of good classical string music --101 Strings are my favorite Christmas music, too. I heard this, unidentified-at-the-time, piece on, of all things, a t.v. commercial. My wife flipped the channel just as I heard it and I said, "Go back! I don't know who/what it is, but I love it!" I've since found it. Phenominal...

[eoryan]

love the sunglasses at the end :)

[hookemhorns201]

the 5 likes on this video were probably drunk people who missed the like button. perfection.

[happymimi16]

classical music is awesome, it kind of makes me feel closer to God and creation, it takes me away, it makes me see the world more magnified, hard to explain

[blackbriar246]

@happymimi16 Same here :)

[Waldemar81]

Besides being one of the greatest composers in the Western tradition , Bach also had other qualities.

He had 20 children,

[MEXCHILANGO2009]

@Waldemar81 bet you found that out on "Lilli's one point classic" in La Corda D'Oro, eh?

[rlwemm]

@C1trax

Artist is listed as Yo-Yo Ma. (See small print under the screen, on the right.

[0Wing0Wing0]

<33

[RobbieIsRob]

Truely marvellous..I'll be Bach! :)

[mintoh10]

JS Bach is my favourite composer from the Baroque period =) I totally <3 this piece to bits! *sigh*

[c1trax]

CELLIST?

[superwiicrazy]

Shorter Film

[swerv0513]

This gives me chills. So beautiful that no words are needed. Can bring someone to tears.

[TheChill4u]

I Love This Cello Suite From Johann Sebastian Bach, It makes me feel completely relaxed, like for example, If I'm Listening This Wonderful Song, Is Because I'm Reading A Book About Famous Painters, This Cello, no matter, how many times I listen this masterpiece, It makes me feel happy, everytime!!! Wonderful Masterpiece, Congratulations!!! :-)

[bookiegenious2345]

Ah, this is why Bach is one of the best composers of all time: It's just too fabulous not to listen to.

[DACynderTheDragoness]

I find it sad that all the music done by J.S. Bach and Beethoven (top two I listen to) have a few people that dislike their work. There's nothing in modern society music that can compare to the beauty and artistic compositions done by (to my opinion) the best composers ever to have been alive.

[girassol1818]

I loved it!!!!!!!

so much

[MsEastLos323]

I cant seem to stop hitting the replay button over and over again!!! Lol

[Kret0s]

i did not know this was bach

[ecchi019]

Good to know good music has always been around

[NineTailsDemonFox]

Try to name as many movies as possible that had this musical piece. lolz

[metalheadLOGEE1]

Perfection.

I'm hitting the play button over and over again.

I can't get enough of it.

^_^

[crazebox66]

i want to learn cello just to learn bach

[XxSHNARFYOUxX]

I have now listened to this piece 4 times and I just started it up again... It's like crack for my mind and ears.

[SuperFunTimePagoda]

Its songs like these that prove how much todays music is failing

[bonecracker23]

Honey badger don't give a shit !

[morisenpei134679]

sunglasses nice finishing touch i play the flute, piano, and the cello and i'm only 15.

no kidding and whenever i play music it inspires me and everyone else. also my favorite composer is chopin pronounced showpan you should look him up i like his song fantaisie impromptu

[BOBopalooza]

Honey Badger don't care!

[eaglesrugby22]

this is sooo hard on an acoustic electric bass

[manuka27]

RELAXING??? WTF!

This is a work of art. If you can't see that contain yourself of writting such things.

[manuka27]

RELAXING??? WTF!

This is a work of art. If you can't see that contain yourself of writting such things.

[noonemilo]

Heard this in the west wing- best t.v moment evaar.

[hereverydayadventure]

I don't mean to sound corny but honestly, this song is like a breath of clean, fresh air. It completely renews my soul after a grueling day.

[alienation69]

we had a famous cello player that performed at my school. he played this song and i was like damn......

[indiankids786]

This song is hard to play on the viola... Fun though probably way harder on the cello

[TheWorstViolinist]

@indiankids786 viola is harder to play than cello ( ive been told...i cant actually play cello)

[lancefreecomp]

seems a little speedy; nice though... ironic that there's not a better piece out there to slow you down... well next to prelude in C... funny, the only person who could outdo Bach was Bach

[MissLiteratureGeek]

This piece makes me cry! It's amazing every time I hear it, it furthers my hope for humanity.

[87Wayne]

J. S. Bach is in my opinion is the greates of the classical masters. Even Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart greatly admired Bachs work. Yo-Yo Ma is wonderful with the cello.

Thanks for this video.

[che2483ify]

esta cancion es una de ms favoritas, es increible sentir como al momento de escucharla te puedes ir a otro lugar en tu imaginacion.

[slipcoreyt]

Esta es mi favorita de Bach!

[Matheusm2011]

4 people are too sofisticated to hear j.s bach!

[WhisperingWillow68]

One of my favorites... Thank you...

[TheKidDeon]

Heard this in a lot of movies. GENIUS

[reptile1000]

loose some weight for fucks sake

[Turkeyboy094]

Finally found the one of the songs from the Pianist!!!

[shakeynah1]

[shakeynah1]

1:41 to the end best part !!!!!

[G2D2ON]

For sure it's so much beautiful that God is behind this.No way for crap!

Here is the greatness and and the magnficient of creation behind this...what a deep breath behind this instrument.

Bach was a genius.Praise God who created him.

[beckie5001]

i love this on my cello :D

[gbb4692]

Who cares about the technique, style, genre, if it moves you then it must be great!!

[Cristy2147]

every time i hear this wonderful piece i get a feeling inside that i just cant explain i love it

[CreativeJAsian]

Only the 4 out of the 476 haven't been able to really understand such a magnificent piece before. :)

[HECTORIOUSKI]

OHHH MAN !! THIS MUSIC IS SO,,, I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN IT. I FEEL LIKE CRYING , LAUGHING, REACHING OUT TO SOMETHING,,, I DON'T KNOW WHAT. WHEN GOD FINALLY COMES TO TAKE ME AWAY FROM THIS WORLD,,, PLEASE OH PLEASE LET THIS SONG BE PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND - SIMPLY THE BEST !!!!!!

[alhexander19]

@HECTORIOUSKI

+100000000 This song is so beatiful, l feel a lot of emotions I LOVE THIS MUSIC

[BlondieKido94]

@HECTORIOUSKI that was beautiful man. thank you

[Jamez5cz]

@HECTORIOUSKI thats why music is great, it can make you have feelings words can't do

[halonone]

@HECTORIOUSKI The last song we'll all hear before dying is "Friday." That's why it was made.

[TheEmpireofEagles]

Bach ftw

[TheStyx44]

4 people who dont know music

[stingy1sam]

Trying to comprehend how any one disliked this video without it being genuine unintentional error, is simply not fathomable to me.. It would be easier for me to divorce myself from my moralities than attempt to understand why anyone would not appreciate this..

[MsTerryC]

could not stand Yo-Yo. I always thought he was a precocious prat, until I heard this.. Magical.. and people, It's music, not a song.

[OfDaHeeZy84]

I love this piece. It took me few weeks to master this piece. I love Bach but man most of his pieces are complicated

[AznsRuleObviously]

Beautiful song, the four that hit dislike must have been on something.

[qtaguitar88]

@AznsRuleObviously im on something, and i enjoy it very much

[TheySayImNasty]

So i've kind of played this song 4 times in a row... O.O

[VMsilver]

LOLD HARD :D

[melagrazal79]

Man, it was awesome to see my music teacher perform this. I really am starting to like classical music. I am just like every other young man who has listen to pop, rock, alternative music etc, but when I took the class because I needed the units, it exposed me to classical. Man you can bet that I would go out and buy a classical cd.

[rafz85]

man this guy even till t'day speaks to us....as if it was just yesterday....

[dl432112311]

who the hell would dislike this? i like it. it's nice to do homework to

[shadowblade145]

@dl432112311 Holy mother of god thats what I'm doing right now :O IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT!!

[Fanatic4500]

Some of the most beautiful music ever composed, hands down. People like Bach don't come around often, and music that they write is not even on the same level as the average composer. Listen to a more modern composer and then listen to any piece written by Bach and you will be astounded by just how much more creative and just how much more depth is in Bach compared to the other composer.

[singularity4]

Who is playing, please?

[oreosphat]

@singularity4 I believe it is Yo-Yo Ma

[culsined]

Très inspirant, j'ai beaucoup aimer.

[AnnaMosity7]

This is the piece that made regret playing the violin instead of the cello. Love it

[misscupcake127]

what an AMAZING piece!!!! played to perfection......

xxxxxx

[madisonthehedgehog]

i hate when people say they hate classical music because this music was written out of the creative minds of geniuses and all music is derived from classical because this music made it all! even the crappy stuff like rap hip hop and r&b

[DeadlyDictator]

4 people are deaf

[Nastollo]

@DeadlyDictator 4 people are idiot, it's different u.u

[hypnatizedmindz2]

ilsegomezg i only listen to rap and classical to, i understand exactly how u feel

[cris2gonz]

Especially with Yo-Yo Ma playing this, this song is truly epic and relaxing all at once.

[jamalskata]

trully refreshing i love it :)

[handsop]

Damn Bach is such an amazing prodigy. When it takes years for others to compose music, it takes Bach a few days.

[kealaroshay45]

Omg i enjoyed this wayyyy tooo much lol

[ringa91]

Epic music...

[XVsiLEnT]

Isn't this yoyo ma's cover over this song

[gbijhold]

I learned to play this on my guitar. The piece is a pain to learn but once I got it it was beautiful. Anyway, Bach had no consideration about the health of peoples fingers...

[bamaman71492]

@gbijhold with a bow... that would be impressive... lol

[gbijhold]

@bamaman71492 I was impressed myself at the time ;-) Anyway, I enjoyed playing this music a lot.

[Gesthrel]

@gbijhold Hahahaha, i totally agree with you my friend. But he was caring about our mental health...

[87Wayne]

@gbijhold Yes, Thats why it was written for "cello and played with a bow" ----

[pii66]

@gbijhold  LOL

[BWSRLOCS]

everyone laugh at those 4 people who missed the "like" button.

[InuBlackFaith]

this music is so different...

im a musician myself.. and i still cant totally understand this piece of art...it's structure... it's so... unbelivable... so beautifull... so complex..

this song is so powerfull.. so meaningfull

SO BEAUTIFULL

i just love it

THANKS SEBASTIAN BACH.

[DerrickCole]

I'm not much for classic music. But there always are pearls in every genre of music. This song is incredible, and so relaxing. I love it!

[jramz91]

This is such a wonderful piece of music, I'm so glad you posted it, cellojax. I first fell in love with this piece when it was brilliantly placed behind a wonderful episode if The West Wing.

[NoRecord1C135]

Is this the entire piece? Is it this short?

[allypal101]

It's like walking up towards the stairway to heaven..
