Give me the notes, or the best approximation you can manage, and I can probably help with that one too. If someone else doesn't get there first. :-)

F Ab G F C Ab G F C(0) Db C Bb Ab G First eight and last four notes are quavers, C(0) and Db are crotchets. Plus I used (0) to notate down an octave. It could be from one of the cello suites... but looking through them I can't for the life of me find it. Definitely it's played by a cello, pretty sure at the start of the piece, might be for solo cello or might be something close to the brandenburgs.. Would be immensely grateful if you could place it, I've been feeling so dumb for not knowing it for about a week now, I know I really ought to. edit: I think there's a good chance it is in F minor as with my above notation, but it's quite possible I'm wrong about that. edit: because I hate music written with letters.. http://misc.corincole.com/bach.png http://misc.corincole.com/bach.png

  I can't find quite that anywhere either, and in particular no movement from the cello suites starts with it or anything that sounds close to me. The beginning of the first movement of BWV1023 (it's a violin sonata) isn't a million miles off, but it certainly isn't quite it and it's a violin rather than a cello. (Are you absolutely sure it's Bach? Not that I have anyone else in mind.)

    Nah, it's not BWV1023. I could be wrong about it being Bach, but I definitely feel like it is, and when I asked my mother if she had any ideas she immediately went to "I think it's a Bach cello suite", so even if she was wrong about it being one of the cello suites, it's still looking fairly good for being Bach. Plus it's definitely Bach-esque. And I can't bare it, I've heard it so many times, have definitely heard it in concert if not even played it myself when I was younger, just can't quite remember. Don't suppose you could ask your wife if it rings any bells for her if you didn't already? (I saw she's a rather good viola player on your site.)

      I asked her; no bells rung. Sorry! I'll keep thinking...
