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.)
- corin_ 16y agoNah, 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.)
- gjm11 16y agoI asked her; no bells rung. Sorry! I'll keep thinking...
