 The Bach Cello Suites On Trumpet by David Cooperhttp://www.execpc.com/~bluemoun/jbach.html "I have also made every effort to maintain the integrity of the Bach Cello Suites when I recorded them on the trumpet. I have pursued a warmer, 'woodier' tone by recording fairly close-miked and with a softer, more relaxed volume. I also tried to model the trumpet sound after the cello with regard to articulation, phrasing, vibrato and ornamentation.

The course explores themes which emerge in the 18th century, reach heights of tonal complexity in the music of J. S.

Many of these techniques originated in the baroque with pedagogies transmtting them to musicians of the last two centuries having consistently used Bach as model.'
