| | The Recent Editions of the Bach Cello Suites |
 | | When I published my edition in 1964, which was based on the Kellner and Westphal manuscripts (which I uncovered), as well as the Anna Magdalena and the Lute versions (for the Fifth Suite), it was the 52nd. |
 | | This new edition comes in a nice blue case, and includes, besides the score of the Suites, an explanatory text, the facsimiles of the four copies, and a very welcome novelty: the reprint of the first edition of 1824 by Norblin. |
 | | Whether or not necessary, these seven new editions are additional evidence of the enduring richness of the Suites, and should be an enticement to the younger generation to study them in depth and realize that they are a bottomless treasure. |
