Summary of This Score
With "VOLUME 1: SUITES 1-2-3 F.A B.ALTO," you will find a great classic of Johann Sebastian Bach's repertoire, here offered in a version for alto recorder: the first three suites (BWV 1007 to 1009), based on the Suites for solo cello. This edition, prepared by Jean-Claude Veilhan and published by Alphonse Leduc, provides recorder players with exceptionally rich musical material, where each movement combines contrapuntal rigor, dance sense, and expressivity.
The volume alternates broad melodic arcs and stylistic details: preludes to establish sonority and breathing, allemandes and courantes to work on the regularity of the musical line, sarabandes to deepen legato and phrasing, not forgetting the double movements (minuets for Suites 1 and 2, bourrées for Suite 3) and gigues, perfect for refining articulation and rhythmic precision. The transcription retains the original keys, with some passages adapted to the instrument (notably through occasional octave changes) to respect the range and projection of the alto recorder. The result is a demanding but extremely instructive score, ideal for independent practice, performance in auditions, or building a solid baroque solo repertoire.
