Double Bass Bach/Suite 3/Allemande

[Anonymous08272012]

I have a question dealing with a bowing after the ascending double stops approximately 3 lines down? I'm doing two to a bow, but it doesn't hold very true to a cellists performance; it just sounds like a bass player and I'm not really trying to go for that effect. haha...any suggestions?

Play it the way you want it to sound. Bowings are somewhat optional in the suites, seeing as how Bach didn't write in his own bow markings (they were added later by another hand). Bach is largely interpretive - more so than most music, I believe.

So, play it in whatever way you can that sounds best, and consider - but don't necessarily take - any advice you get.

When I played it, I played that passage detache.
