Bach’s Sixth Cello Suite challenges every string player with its relentless rhythm and intricate counterpoint.
In this short lesson, double bassist Nina Bernat reveals how to turn that rhythmic monotony into expressive color.
Instead of relying on simple dynamic contrasts, Nina focuses on bowing variations, articulation, and phrasing to create movement and nuance. A single passage can shift from bold to intimate, just by altering the bow stroke or connecting phrases differently.
This excerpt offers a glimpse into Nina’s complete course on performing Bach’s Suite No. 6 in D Major: a masterclass in bringing freshness and vitality to every repeated figure.
