My ex used to play this piece slowly for me because I was in love with his cello playing and when I told him I loved this song, he knew it right away. I still love it even now.
this is amazing , i know you are intentionally playing it slow for educational purposes but slower tempo has its own magic and meditation. i hate when art and music have critics , like why should i listen to your perspective ? are you the creator of sound and colors? music is felt in its essence i think and this verson of suite 1 prelude exudes its own beauty
finallly one performance with a more lean attitude and calm tempo which i very strongly belife to be the best sounding and actually the indented by Bach himself one!!!!!
I can not understand why most musicans these days thing this has to be played with the f....ing same attitude as mozarts marriage of the figarro.... This Version ist the right ONE!!!! GREAT JOB
Thank you, I was taught to be humble when it comes to interpreting works of great composers of the past. It is very rewarding to let their music to speak without trying to show off your own personality. It is impossible (and unnecessary) to avoid adding personal touch. I believe it works the best when musician's ego is kept in the background.
Wow, that was excellent. Great control, difficult to play slow. This will be very helpful to me. I cannot find anyone on-line that plays this piece slowly. Thank you Kozlov.
Oh wow, how wonderful. I think this may have been the first cello solo I ever heard and I did not realize at the time that there was a whole suite behind it. Then of course I learned that there were also 5 more suites. You play this a a tempo that allows one to see every nuance of what is going on. Thank you so much...I hope this video is still around when I am ready to begin this piece.
Thank you for sharing this with the slow tempo and without the slurs!! I'm just starting this piece and my teacher is starting me in exactly that way. This is so helpful! I'm very appreciative of you sharing your talent. ❤️❤️❤️
I use this version to study the prelude on the trombone and the tuba, but I must admit that at a slower tempo this music has a very characteristic charm.
Since 2017 I play the cello and I am now at the 5th position and learning the tenor key. But the more I learn, the more difficult I have to play this piece. I think I will never be able to play it. My fingers are very short. They are the same length as my son from 6 years old, so I'm not joking. It is a kind of frustration to realize that I have to accept my faith that I never can play it. Still good job and I love your video's. I was a Patreon but because of financial reasons I had to quit. But as soon as my budget allows it, I will subscribe again! You are the best cello instructor and you play so beautifully.
hi maxim , i listen to this a lot as i am studying this piece. i didnt pay attention the first few times i listened to it but i love the little vibratos you throw inside the music, wow one of my favourites prelude versions. by the way i am the one who asked u for online cello lessons on instagram to be specific because m sure theres lot of self taught cellists asking you these days after the internet has connected every road to each other and given us infinite paths to follow in life. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you! Stepping back into my cello practices during this virus, and found your video as I struggle to find my way in this piece. Beautiful, and slowing down Bach's seminal cello piece does not lesson its impact. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful bach cello prelude Is meant to be played slowly to pick up a person's nervous system and slowly get faster and sooth to uplift a person ...you are a wonderful artist ....smooth slow to start and slowly pick up the pace Nailed it ....
Playing this piece along with you several times has really made me realize some things I needed to change and improve. Making me play it slowly and listen to every note was very helpful. Thank you so much!
You are a very humble and generous man to share your talent with us. You must have a true love of music and cello to share these videos to help us aspiring cellists on our journey to become better cellists. Thank you so much, you are appreciated by many viewers.
Fantastic learning resource - I've just discovered Cellopedia and am slowly working my way through your excellent videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge so freely - much appreciated.
While i listen this with headphones, i hear you take a breath before playing and along with the playing you breath out when starting a new bar. I've been using metronome when i play of course but i could use my breathing in or out as an metronome. Just a thougt passed trough.
So I don't own a cello or let alone know how to play cello. But I love this piece, so I tuned my bass as a cello (so same fingering), and learned it thanks to this video. Now I just have to figure out how to play with this same piece with a bow on an actual cello some time xD
I don't know if I have thanked for this before, but I certainly didn't thank enough. This video and the Humphrey's are helping me so much, this piece is just fundamental.
+Aldir Gracindo I am so happy that you find it helpful. I work this way with my students to master attention to every note. After it is done, this music is open to interpretation.
Amazing! I just start to try and it is demanding. Thx for you slow tempo :) I noticed different bowing pattern on first three notes - it is legato and pull? Or pull only first two notes?
Question: is there a "right" way to play this piece? Specifically the first few bars...are these normally played as single notes or as a series of down-bow notes up-bow??? I hope this makes sense. Thank you so much for this video!!!
You are very welcome! There are so many different ways to play Bach. Most of experienced cellists choose to use their own "unique" bowings. I used this one note per bow bowings to make it as clear/easy as possible for cello students. When I perform Bach suites in life concerts, I often change bowings - nothing stays the same in our life :)
this is gorgeous. whenever i play this piece it always sounds scratchy, and i can't seem to fix it. does anyone know what i might be doing to cause that and how i could try and fix it?
Yes, it is a full size, even a bit wider in the lower bout. It’s interesting - you are not the first person to ask this question. It is probably the angle of the camera which makes me to look like a giant :)
Which bowing version do use? I am working on this piece using the Bahrenreiter version which has the first three notes slurred. Is there an alternate way to play without the slurs? Thank you very much for this video.
Bahrenreiter is my favorite edition. I suggest it to all of my students. However, when we play Bach for a long time, we usually start customizing bowing to fit our new ideas. One of the bowing versions I tried in the past was one note per bow. I liked it a lot for its simplicity which allows to keep a performer in a background. This also seemed to be the most effective for slow tempo demonstration. All the best in your cello studies!
I recorded it as a part of Cellopedia Udemy course for G Major suite www.udemy.com/course/bachs-g-major-cello-suite-no1-a-cellists-journey/?couponCode=HOLIDAYS
i just noticed differences in the way you are playing this and the notation of the 27th measure on the score that i have from imslp. mine has "agfgedcb" for the first 8 notes while a newer version i have is "agfggecb" which sounds like what you are playing. which is correct or why is there differences?
There are dozens of different editions of Bach cello suites. The original manuscript is lost. Several copies made from that manuscript have number of differences. You may follow the edition you have or choose another one. Bärenreiter and Henle editions considered to be one of the most reputable, but nobody can say for sure what was in the manuscript.

La estoy escuchando con mi bebita de 6 meses, estaba llorando y se calmo al instante al escuchar. Maravillosa interpretación. Muchas gracias.
Dear Mr.Kozlov, I'm Alex from Spain. I want to give you lots of thanks for helping me with this piece! Another time.
Thank you for your time and for sharing your knowledge in such detail. All your hard work is so very much appreciated.
Wow, that was excellent. Great control, difficult to play slow. This will be very helpful to me. I cannot find anyone on-line that plays this piece slowly. Thank you Kozlov.
i play somewhat slow I even play this piece on saxophone
I love your videos, you play at a slower pace, I can study playing together, I'm a beginner on the cello, your videos have helped me a lot.
