In this episode I play a dance by Johann Sebastian Bach called a Courante. There is only one more dance after this and then the first suite of dances by Bach will be complete on Cello Journey. I hope you enjoy it.

  • I'm working on this melody myself ^^ It's very fun to play! I play the Clarinet though

  • @SarahScrew lol i play it slower

  • "Bravo...ti faremo saper..."

  • @07843827259 hahaaa, so, i played this faster, and, my teacher complained at me. :L fail much? :L

  • @SarahScrew well its not meant to be too slow. Set your metronome to Moderato. Remember that it is supposed to be a dance with SOME energy lol

  • actually, you should listen here ^_^

    Bowing close to the finger board will reduce resistance, but the sound quality will suffer. especially in upper positions.

  • actually you should listen to this here -.-

    the distance from the bow and fingerboard give different sounds and different strengths and weaknesses. for example for a slow song like Le Cygne where it requires long bow, you would bow closer to the bridge.

    when you require swift jumpy-like movement and sound it is better to play closer to the fingerboard as the resistance is slight to non.

  • great job. i only have one tiny critical comment. Get the bow closer to the bridge man!!! up where it is you're missing out on alot of clarity of sound. beautiful interpretation
