The Wendell Hoss version has many significant deviations from the original Bach. My guess, after a fair amount of examination of different editions and listening to recordings, is that Hoss based his version on the suites as they were performed by Pablo Casals, for whom any music was an opportunity to express his own personal vision, rather than that of the composer. Not that there's anything wrong with that ;-) Dan ==================== Dan Phillips Associate Professor Rudi E.
