- Hello Cellists,
The Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 3 in C Major, BWV 1009 is one of the core pieces in our repertoire. I hope those of you who are learning this wonderful piece will find this video helpful in taking your performance to the next level.
Below, I have included a link to my copy of the Prelude, plus a short reading list and other helpful links for studying the Bach cello suites. Please let me know if you have any comments and/or questions, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for watching!!

"The Fencing Master" and the sequel, "Bach and the Happy Few," are both must reads if I may say so, written by THE baroque cellist of our time, Anner Bylsma.

Another must-have is Barenreiter’s urtext edition, which contains facsimiles of the manuscript copies in the hand of Anna Magdalena Bach, Johann Peter Kellner, as well as the Westphal library manuscript (anonymous copiers), first editions, and more.

The way you hit the opening gave me brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps. I’ve chosen to commit the entire 3rd suite to muscle memory, and I think I just found my second teacher!
Thank you so much for these videos. I learn something from every one you post. I hope you do know how appreciated you sharing your thoughts and astounding technique is!
Your playing is absolutely inspiring! The instrument just gives you a comforting feeling. Keep making people happy with music!
This is so informative! Thank you so much Inbal! What a great cellist.
Wonderful. Thanks for taking to time to teach us. And your playing is sublime.
Thank you for posting this excellent teaching video....
Thank you so much! I really learned a lot from your video!
Hello Ms. Segev, I want to start out by saying how much I respect and admire you as an artist, performer and teacher and thank you for making these musing videos for us to learn from. I have learnt so much from each and every one of them. In my own studies of Bach I have almost disregarded all modern editions focusing on the Anna Magdalena manuscript as a more historically correct interpretation. I must admit though, I have trouble with her slurings, I'm never really sure which note the slur begins on, how many notes are in the slur, whether she ran out of ink? and one bad decision affects the entire piece since each measure flows into the next. So my question is how do you do it? How do you make sense of what seems to be scribble, no disrespect to Anna Magdalena. Which leads me to my next question, have you ever thought of publishing your own signature performance edition of these works? Using the Anna Magdalena manuscript and your interpretations of which as a guideline in modern text. That would be a treasure, I would own at least three copies of it, one to play off of, another to loan out to very close friends and one to have just incase something happened to the others. Food for thought you must admit?

Great interpretation!
Thank you Inbal! This will be very useful when I practice this piece ;)
thank you so much for your insight and sharing of skills. i am a violist and to learn this piece I have been listening to various recordings but that first third of the piece... very hard to learn because the phrasing is confusing to me. This is my favorite prelude from bachs cello suites- Thank you so much for providing for me some crucial understanding! I will go practice right now!
I fell in love
me encanta tu interpretación
saludos desde México :D
Your cello sounds so beautiful, I really wish I can hear you play the cello suites
I believe there is an error in the original sheet music at bar 40. There shouldn't be a sharp on the F note. I can explain why.
THANK YOU (!!!) for that GREAT fingering in bar 85. It is VERY helpful!
Dear Inbal,
I love your ideas and attention to detail. Iwas wondering if you would do a class on the debussy cello sonata?
Sincerely,
Chase Kelsey
this was very helpful !
this made me get motivated for my cello practice!
So valuable
Thanks ♥️♥️♥️🎻🎻♥️♥️♥️ for sharing
Really helpful video !!! 🙊🤭
Thank you so much, Inbal, for sharing your wonderful playing here! In this particular case your reasonable bowing helped me a lot. I wonder what you do with the left thumb when shifting in this thumb-upon-neck passage, d to c and c to b. Is your thumb in contact with the strings while shifting or do you lift it up and set it down in the new position? I find this part really strenuous...
Thank you again
Good question
Very good insights. You're playing it definitely faster than I would. But still superb playing
thank you very much Inbal!! I'm from Aregentina and we are in summer then we haven't classes and your videos are very useful for me and they are very interesting!
hi Inbal! thanks you for you reply! I would like if you could do a video with the guigue and bourree from suite 3 or if you could give me some advise for interpretation.
thank you very much!!
very good
Well said, excellent instruction! This is very helpful
Thank you very much for the insights! May I humbly ask why bar bar 15 is labeled A minor when it has 2 big fat C sharps in it? Thanks.
thank you so much for making these videos! they are so insightful! any chance you would cover some boccherini in future videos?
Adam France I will... I just need to get a gig playing Boccherini to get ready for the vlog(:
Hi Inbal, could you make a video talking about Allemande from Bach's Suite no. 4?
I really enjoyed the Prelude masterclass!!! What a gem of valuable pointers!!! I learned a lot! I instinctively played so many passages the way you described it, but it's great to hear the analysis. I played this Suite for my senior recital for classical guitar in A-Minor transcribed by Michael Lorimar and are now playing the Prelude again after 34 years! I am planning on playing it for a lecture recital in March and after that I am planning to play it in D Minor. Any thoughts on the transcription in A Minor? I have not heard anybody on youtube playing it in A Minor, but I really like it. How do you feel about transcription to another key? I am open to it, especially for the classical guitar, but I know there are purists.
Adriana Ratsch-Rivera hello and thanks for writing. I love hearing the cello suites played by a good guitarist and having it in a different key is not a problem for me. Bach’s favorite instrument was the lute so I feel the guitar, it’s cousin, sounds very close to what Bach had in mind. Of course you know the Lute transcription of the 5th suite was done by JSB himself.
Hello! Is there a link where I can find a copy of the suite 3 prelude with all the bowings you use? I like them a lot and want to play the suit with them
Beautiful Masterclass. I Love the way you play. You mentioned, Yale. I went to the music school as a guitarist in 1985/86. Did you get the opportunity to study with Aldo Parisot? I knew him and his family in the 1980's.
Thank you Robby LeBlanc. Yes I did study with Also Parisot, and he and his wife even “adopted” me for my first year in the United States. I learned so much in my years there.
Thank you so much, Inbal!!
can you do something about the bowings in the open G pedal point? im learning this prelude and I'm having difficulties with the bowing there, so I'd like a video that explains how to do the bowing there.
on the string crossing part I've seen people either do 4 to a bow or 2 to a bow
Can you record masterclass about Popper concert polonaise op.14? Please
You are a very good person, cellist and teacher, thank you for helping as. I am using hearing aids and I want to ask a favor if it is posible. Can somebody add subtitle in english?. You will be doing a big favor to people with my problem. Thank you
AGLMIL hi, thanks you very much for watching and for writing! I wish I had the time to create subtitles, in English as well as in other languages - but alas, this is a very time consuming undertaking)-: not to mention, expensive...I hope that you can understand at least some of what I am saying. Thanks again , Inbal
Thank you for answering my comment. I was thinking that a philanthropic organization, no you, may be can do the job. Thank you again, Hector
Mitzuyan yafafya!
바흐가 시간과 공간을 넘어 이 분을 통해 나에게 왔다..
the link with the bowings is down, anyone got it?
Hi! thanks for writing. Some movements from my personal copy of the score are posted on my website: inbalsegev.com/bach/bach-project-score-library/
Thanks a lot. There are parts for example at the end of phrases where you don’t do the written slurs kinda emphasizing the end, should I slur those anyway?
Also when demonstrating the first sequences you play the second with same bowing at the first, should I always follow whats written or do same bowings for sequences or question/answer? Thanks!
I love you.
so how have you thought about the markings that Bachs wife supposedly made?
Es seca!!!😨
Master class soa tão soberbo! Por que não simplesmente aula? Ninguem sabe o certo apenas aponta um dos caminhos ou suas próprias visões. Grandes interpretes tocam tão diferente um do outro! Será que um deles é o certo e os outros errados.
Rostropovich did this best.
no no no it’s not at all historically informed
Beautiful - but sounds better on the classical guitar to be honest
in what world
@@a.a9021 none lmao
What! 🤕
Never ever.
very fast
