    Thank you! This suite is a great composition and playing and recording it has been a very enjoyable journey that continues as there is still a Gigue to go.

    I’ll definitely listen when it arrives! While I love Celtic jigs, I for some reason feel that Bach’s gigues are quite difficult to play but are of lower quality than the rest of the movements. But most of my exposure to his gigues comes from the cello suites and I just need to listen or look harder haha

    I have sometimes experienced with Bach's pieces that some of them seem difficult when listening to them and difficult when looking at them on paper, but if you start to go through it step by step, it turns out that the piece is completely doable, and sounds perfect on the mandolin, so...
