Bach Bourree - E Minor Steps Cello Sheet Music (Bass Clef)

This is bass clef — the cello's home register. The bottom line is G2, your open G string, and anything sitting two ledger lines below the staff is your open C. Bach Bourree - E Minor Steps is in Em and opens on E3; tune carefully to the drone before you draw a bow, because on a fretless fingerboard every note in the piece rides on where that first finger lands. Play the opening phrase one bow-stroke per note and watch the pitch feedback rather than your hand — the app hears which notes drifted, which no mirror can show you.

Keep the bow parallel to the bridge and let arm weight, not pressure, make the tone. Set the metronome well under around 88 BPM and loop the bar that your take review marks red. Where the line shifts position, ghost the slide silently — finger the shift without bowing it — until the distance is in your arm, then bow it. By the numbers, this setting runs 15 notes across 4 bars, from B2 up to B3 in 4/4 time.
