The most important source for Bach’s Cello Suites is a copy made by his wife Anna Magdalena because the autograph is no longer extant. As further copies show, the actual musical text is scarcely problematic. However, the slurs, which are particularly important for string instruments, are very inexact and compel the editor to make difficult decisions. Our practical edition, HN 666, is in two parts. It not only offers the Urtext edition – with preface and critical commentary – but also a part for playing. The new study edition contains the Urtext part, but in addition offers a reproduction of Anna Magdalena’s copy. This means that both cellists and music lovers alike are able to form their own opinion about the much discussed problems.
Reviews
Ben vengano, allora, edizioni come la presente di Henle Velag che ripropongono un testo musicale revisionato secondo i più moderni criteri filologici e accompagnato da una buona introduzione e note critiche esaustive anche in lingua inglese.
[Archi Magazine, 2008]
Im Hinblick auf die Spielpraxis (durch "Aufklappseiten" keine einzige Wendestelle mitten im Satz!) kann Henle … mit dieser Ausgabe auf eine gute Plazierung in dem neu eröffneten Rennen um die Cello-Suiten-Publikumsgunst hoffen.
[Das Liebhaberorchester, 2001]
Bach’s six cello suites are cornerstones of the cellist’s repertory. … This edtion has been made with the performer in mind and unlike many Bach editions … there are no awkward page-turns. … The Henle edition promises to be of most use to young students of the Bach Suites; it combines an historically informed editorial policy with performer-friendly presentation.
[The Consort, 2001]
Une passionnante édition des Six Suites pour violoncelle solo de J.S. Bach vient de paraître chez Henle, faisant suite à l’édition de la Neue Bach Ausgabe éditée par Hans Eppstein à Kassel en 1991. ... La nouvelle édition Henle se constitue de deux parties : un Urtext «pur» dans lequel sont notifiées les fautes et les erreurs justifiées dans l’importance annexe de remarques et une partition d’exécution dans laquelle sont indiqués les doigtés et coups d’archet, les paramètres ajoutés par l’éditeur étant mis en parenthèses, ceux provenant des sources d’exécution antérieures étant mis entre crochets. Pour la 5e Suite, Henle nous donne la notation en «scordatura» et la notation «sonore»; pour la 6e Suite dans laquelle J.S. Bach prévoyait un violoncelle à 5 cordes, la partition nous donne la version 5 cordes et la partie pratique nous donne la version destinée au violoncelle moderne. Un extraordinaire document de travail.
