About the composition
Johann Sebastian Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, BWV 1051, arranged for six cellos.
This piece (all three movements) was one of the reasons for founding the music publishing house specializing in cello and cello ensemble sheet music, as the arrangement had already been completed. The 1990 version has been thoroughly revised. More information can be found in the preface (in the sample pages). The parts include suggestions for fingerings and bowings.
