TRILLS IN THE BACH CELLO SUITES - A HANDBOOK FOR PERFORMERS

Jerome Carrington brings together and examines historically informed interpretations of the Bach Cello Suite trills and compares them with contemporary performance practice. Carrington builds on Frederick Neumann's Orientation in the Baroque and Post-Baroque Period, which introduces a 'trill test' to guide interpretation. Carrington collects and annotates every trill in the Cello Suites, examining each ornament individually to find the most historically accurate solution for its execution. He also reviews rules commonly applied in interpreting trills and assesses their execution in modern performance. 'Trills in the Bach Cello Suits' offers insight for performers and music theorists alike. It will aid in the interpretation of these classic works as it renews our application for Bach's genius.
