[Trombone-l] Bach cello suites

[Tom Gibson]

A well-known bone-playing friend of mine once made this observation:

While the cello suites make for excellent pedagogy and terrific  
technical challenges, they really fall flat when performed on trombone.

The more I hear them done, even by marvelous players, the more I find  
myself in agreement. The trombone can't do them justice, I'm afraid.
Just listen to Casals.

However, I still love playing them 'round the house:-)

Anybody else feel that way?
