The article offers guidelines for playing Cello Suites in G minor for viola by composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Noted is the significance of tonality in performing Cello Suites as it wishes to inhabit various sounds. It is suggested to prevent the articulation of every note or in emphasising every beat of the music. Also discussed are the proper playing of Allemande, Courante, Gigue and Sarabande.
