Bach sixth suite for unaccompanied Cello in D Major. This suite was
orignally composed for the violin pomposa (a violin with 5 strings), but
has since been incorporated as one of the cello suites.

Bach composed these masterpieces between 1717 and 1723 whole living in
the city of Cothen. Together with the six somanatas and partitas for
violin solo, they, without question, constitute the most monumental
documnets of the polyphonic string music. Unmatched in their beauty
and depth pf feeling, they demostrate Bach's consummate understanding of
these instrument's capabilities, and his total mastery of all the musical
forms of his day. Note that this sarabande is in drop D tuning and in 3/2
time, and should be counted 1 + 2 + 3 +.

Key: D Major
Time: 3/2
