The music for this episode is a dance written by David Popper. He
lived about one hundred years ago and he was fairly well known at the
time. He travelled and performed on the cello and also wrote lots of
cello music. He must have been a very hardworking person. I think
this music is a bit lighter and more fun. It is a dance called a
Gavotte.

There are some holidays coming up so I thought I would play something more reflective and thoughtful. This is a dance called an Allamande, also by Bach. I always think of it as being a bit shy at the beginning and more outgoing towards the end.

In this episode I play a slower dance also by Bach. It is called a
Sarabande. You can try to imagine someone dancing to it if you like.
Please keep the feedback and comments coming.

This episode I play something dance-like and folk-like. It is also written by Bach. I will probably play more Bach in the future since he wrote so much good music for solo cello. The feedback has been really encouraging and I look forward to more. Thank you for watching.
