 Bach Cello Suites on Bass Clarinet -- and Bari Sax

Here's a very amusing post from a bassoonist on the double reed list:

In graduate school I took a course on playing the Bach cello suites. Although it was meant for cellists, there was no requirement that participants had to be cellists (I was the first non-cellist to ever sign up for the class). The teacher was somewhat upset that a NON-cellist would dare to play the Bach cello suites. After a few sessions, he wasn't quite as opposed to hearing them on bassoon. Then one week I decided to do the assigned movements on bass clarinet. Of course, he didn't like that idea at first either. Then one day I had to lug my bari sax to class since I had a rehearsal on it in the same room during the next class. He was afraid that I was going to play it that day. But I got even - I played it during the next class session. After I broke the 'barrier', more non-cellists started signing up for the class, and the teacher got to teach it every semester rather than every 2 or 3 semesters.

The music is too good to leave it to the cellists, who, anyway, have no compunctions about stealing the Schumann Fantasy Pieces.
