It is only later in the 18th century, and particularly under the influence of French cello pedagogues starting with Michel Corrette (1741), that we see an increasing standardization in the use of instruments, in left-hand and in bowing techniques. In applying these findings to the music of Bach, the second part of the article focuses on the cantatas with obbligato violoncello and violoncello piccolo, and on the six suites for violoncello solo. The key questions are the following: first, is there a relevant organological difference between the instruments Bach used for performance of these compositions?
