BREAKING INTO BACH - UNACCOMPANIED MINIATURES FOR STRINGS 
Music to play at home on your own - Unaccompanied!! Music very similar to Bach composed for young and/or less experienced musicians but nice for anyone - CELLISTS or VIOLA PLAYERS or DOUBLE BASSISTS - which sounds good and convincing but is actually a far bit easier than our maestro Bach himself!
