French Suite I: Sarabande by J.S. Bach, arr. for String Quartet (1722) - string quartet/quintet by Bach arr. Mark Feezell, Ph.D. (DrFeezell.com)
This sarabande comes from the first French suite of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Bach wrote the French Suites (BWV 812-817) around 1722. I have transposed it up a step for playability. It should be performed with a very smooth tenuto feeling, which is not adequately conveyed by the MIDI performance.
