J.S. Bach: Suite No. 6 in D Major, BWV 1012 is part of six suites for unaccompanied cello which were composed during Bach's Cöthen period, approximately 1717–1723, while Bach was Kapellmeister for Prince Leopold.
The primary manuscript source is a copy made by Bach's second wife, Anna Magdalena Bach, likely from the late 1720s.
During the Cöthen period (1717–1723), Bach worked for Prince Leopold, a Calvinist who preferred instrumental music over the elaborate church music Bach typically composed in other positions. This was arguably Bach's happiest and most productive time for instrumental music.
In Cöthen, Bach produced a wealth of his most famous secular instrumental works, including the Brandenburg Concertos, the first book of the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, and the Cello Suites.
The G Major Suite follows the standard Baroque suite structure: Prelude, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Menuets (I and II), and Gigue.
The suites were essentially unknown to the public until 13 years old Pablo Casals rediscovered them in a second-hand store in Barcelona in 1890.
There are several arrangements for flute made by Frank Michael, Sabine Kittel, Amy Porter etc.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer who is regarded as one of the most important composers in the history of music. Among most of his popular works – instrumental works for violin (Sonatas and Partitas), cello Suites, keyboard works (Goldberg Variations, The Well-Tempered Clavier) numerous organ compositions (e.g. Toccata and Fugue in D minor), numerous instrumental concertos for keyboard, violin and various instruments (Brandenburg Concertos) as well as some profound vocal music works: Mass in B minor; St. Matthew Passion etc.
J.S.Bach was born in Eisenach as part of The Bach family of musicians. Orphaned at the age of 10, young Johann Sebastian lived with his oldest brother Johann Christoph for five years. During the following years he worked at several protestant churches and as a Kapellmeister at the Prince Leopold court in Köthen (1717-1723).
In 1723 he was appointed as cantor at St. Thomas, the principal Lutheran church in Leipzig (after G.P.Telemann declined to relocate to Leipzig). Even though he was mostly perceived as organist at his time, he gained honorary appointment at the court of Frederic Augustus, King of Poland in Dresden.
