@jjjacqui lol
It's like people back in the 60s & 70s who said Shakespeare couldn't have written all his works, they are too vast, too discrete for one person to have written them. Or that Homer's poems couldn't possibly be the work of one person. Nonsense.
Unfortunately for such a thesis, Bach's hand is not only overwhelmingly evident throughout the suites, but there is an extant autograph manuscript of the 5th
Prelude, Fugue & Allegro bwv998 also had authorship question raised... and refuted

@jjjacqui Honestly I don't think so. It's rather impossible that Anna Magdalena could be so wise and brilliant composer, judging of her possible responsibilities in Bach's house :) But i'm very curious about arguments of this thesis.
I think that cello suites are so special beacause of Bach's unique attitude to cello. He seemed to regard this instrument very important. Check out viola pomposa - i think he just tried to make cello more useful.
Sorry, I can't explain it in a good way in English.

My private cello teachers teachers teacher was Rostropovich

OMG, I LOVE THE INTERNET. Imagine youngster cellists watching this! I feel he is fast but what stuns me is how little of the bow he uses for dynamics. It almost looks like he is a bit stiff but the dynamic range he gets from repeated centimetres is SCARY! I also just read a PhD thesis proving the Cello Suites were composed by Anna Magdalena, Bach's second wife. This explains how different they are to his other work! Opinions?

As I saw the views, what?! Why does this have only thirty-three thousand views?!
Then, I realized, this is not viewed--this is listened.
XD

@azntanan I totally agree E is better there, but this same piece has those funny natural signs, we really can't blame any editor who says there is a D instead of E.
I mean Bach was really precise and had detailed sheet music, but the guy copying his stuff can make mistakes.

This is amazing

its brilliant virtuosismo never attemps against its deep expresiveness, beautiful suites for cello from the giant of the baroque alone with Haendel

there's not a tempo it HAS to be
its his interpretation the tempo he plays is fine because there is no accompaniment of dancers

As a composer myself I would probably prefer an E. Having an E there completes the sequence and fulfills the expectation (registerally). But again, it's totally reasonable to argue that the D brings surprise. Secondly, I think the E is a very important dissonance (scale degree 6) that has to be resolved and it creates embellishment. Having a D would have no embellishment. Finally, I think the E natural in Minuet I foreshadows the Eb (flat VI) in Minuet II in the same register.
