Bach Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, Prelude

Performed by Mike Dettra on a 4.3 octave marimba

I started out learning this with only 2 mallets but eventually added a 3rd. I like the way the bass mallet accentuates the lower register and helps to mimic the open string sound of the cello. I also took some liberties in order to adapt the piece to the 4.3 octave marimba.

If Bach had had a marimba, he would certainly have composed suites for marimba. 😉Bravo, thank you for sharing! 👏

He did have a marimba.
It’s called a piano.

[@allforone5693]

@@augustsmith9553No, it’s not. A marimba is a marimba, and a piano is a piano. It’s almost an entirely different skill set playing marimba vs piano. It’s like saying I have a violin so I can write electric guitar music.

Hey Mike!! Beautiful playing, hope you’re well!

[@DettraMentalMusic]

Thanks, Anthony! That's very much appreciated.

Always a pleasure to listen to someone who understands how to time a Bach composition, unlike a famous cellist I can think of.

[@DettraMentalMusic]

Thank you! Much obliged!

Which cellist?

[@clive1294]

@@chrisoconnor9521 Well, it isn't Rostropovich. He was extremely good. Also he is no longer alive.
