Compared to the Passions, Masses and numerous other works (all together well over a thousand) these "Suites for solo cello" seem like little things: perhaps studies intended to be practiced on the instrument.  A simple succession of dances so as not to be worthy of publication. In fact, written between 1717 and 1723, they were published only in 1824 in Paris with the title Sonates ou études.  Virtually a century after they were composed.
Today they are counted among the most significant and emblematic works written for the cello and constitute an unavoidable point of passage for every cellist and meditation for the listener.
