One bit of advice: NEVER use the Bach Cello Suites for an orchestra
audition if they ask for an "optional piece - your choice". Unless, or
course, the position is for a spot in the cello section.
Bad personal experience...........

subject: [Hornlist] Bach 'Cello suites- good horn rep?
Hello everyone,
I am a relatively young horn player, but have worked extensively on Bach's
'Cello Suite I. I love the piece dearly, both at the slower tempos it is
taken at on horn, and at the faster tempos one hears on 'cello recordings.
However, having played the piece for a couple different horn teachers,
I've
found that the suites aren't as universally accepted as proper
horn repertoire as I would have thought.
So, I thought I would ask the hornlist: What are the 'cello suites for?
How
are they viewed in the horn world as repertoire? Are we "allowed" to play
them, even though Bach was very specific about what instrument ought to be
playing his 'Cello suites?
Thanks,
Kellen M.
