Courante from Suite 1 in G major for solo cello by J.S. Bach. Learn how to play this piece and many others at onlinecelloles... with video lessons and sheet music! This Courante is a faster movement in 3/4 time. The word 'courante' translates to 'running' in English. It is a lively triple meter dance movement that portrays a flowing current of music that skips along, giving the listener a rush of joy and excitement! This particular G major courante from the 1st cello suites is very youthful in its energy and character and is a lot of fun to play! All of Bach's cello suites contain a courante and it is usually the quickest movement in the suite aside from the gigue. Check out my website above for more cello lessons and fun pieces to learn!
