Every sound you hear was created by Steve playing his acoustic cellos (with one exception -- a subtle "hi-hat" noise made by his voice). The Cello Song is based on one of the most recognizable classical pieces ever written, J.S. Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1: Prelude. (Hint: Say Bach's title with an English accent and it sounds a lot better). It's been featured in a lot of movies (and car commercials)...Steven Sharp Nelson decided that this piece needed some accompaniment (Bach must have been busy and never got around to it? :) Adding some original material and 7 more cello parts stacked on top of each other, Steve has created a cool new sound that embellishes all the features that have made Bach's work so popular. The 7 new parts include drawn-out melodies which soar above fast arpeggios, strumming chords from a guitar-like part, shaker sounds (accomplished by rubbing the sides of the cello), tremolo (1:08-1:24), and a cello-banging percussion part (complete with kick drum). "Bach was an amazing composer -- one of the best that ever lived. He wasn't the greatest with titles though (smile)... As a consequence, no one can ever remember his Cello Suite's name...so when I'm asked to perform his piece people always say, 'hey, can you play that ... um ... that cello song?' And so in Bach's honor I name this adaptation of his amazing composition after what it has been naturally called for hundreds of years. Thanks for listening!" -Steven Sharp Nelson CREDITS: The Cello Song Produced by Al van der Beek & Steven Sharp Nelson Arrangement & Original Material by Steven Sharp Nelson Performed by Steven Sharp Nelson (and seven of his clones) Based on and inspired by J.S.

Aallways Awsome to see instead of someone playing an instrument rather the instrument is mearly an extension of there inner voice. and the music an expresion of there Passion. I life long love affair. How to fck bach cello suites Me encantaa!!!... Yo toco el cello. Estoy en 4 de profesional... En Madrid. You guys put so much time and effort (and I can only assume MONEY) into making such beautiful looking videos to go with equally beautiful music; but then you go and slap tacky, intrusive annotations over the top of them. I really wish you'd leave it until the end of the video to beg for subscribers. EPIC! I agree totally! I fell in LOVE with Steve once I saw his FACE and how he LOVES playing. He is truly a JOY to watch!! this is what inspired me to learn cello @eve mercer I believe it's Bach Cello Suite No. 1 I recommend Yo Yo Ma's interpretation what the original song called? He's a god. is there a loss hair in your bow ??? It's funny how he had to buy 8 different shirts for this video ;) AMAZING!! i adore this such a beautiful music....... Did anyone else notice at 2:35 when he throws the bow to himself? Video editor says, "You want to do what now? Sure we can do that."
