The cellist Felix Thiedemann deals with the faithful performance of music. It is important to him to place the music of different epochs in the context of their time. Besides his love for classical music he has been exploring Jazz in the past years as member of the Munich Composers Collectiv (MCC). It is important to him not only to present music in concerts, but also to prepare a framework in which the music can be experienced. He is not only interested in music, but also in other arts and the combination of music and other arts.

The third suite in C major, BWV 1009, is the most brilliant of the cycle. With never-ending ingenuity, the prelude takes advantage of the possibilities of runs and triad breaks - very similar to the prelude of the E major partita for solo violin.
