Cellist Selma Gokcen and the distinguished American harpsichordist and Bach scholar Kenneth Cooper, have created in Bach Revealed a three-volume study of all six Cello Suites, offering two-part playing editions for the first time. These will assist professional cellists, students and teachers studying these great works.

This edition consists of musical reductions, mostly in two voices, making explicit Bach’s complex harmonies by setting out their structure without losing the originals' spirit and beauty. The reductions explore Bach's rich layers of musical texture and reveal his counterpoint, chordal elaboration and ornamentation of the melodic line. They provide the implied bass line, the essential melodic line, opportunities for ornamentation and the essential rhythmic character of the dance movements.

Bach Revealed is also available in a viola edition, and will be equally useful for musicians who play the Cello Suites on other instruments including double bass, guitar, saxophone and marimba. It will interest Baroque specialists and modern instrument players alike, teachers and students wishing to deepen their understanding of Bach’s musical language.
