cello suite
Solo string works
A cello suite is a multi-movement composition written for solo cello, typically consisting of several dance movements in a unified key.
The term most often refers to Bach's six suites for unaccompanied cello, foundational works in the cello repertoire: She practiced the Prelude from the first cello suite.
Other composers have written cello suites, but Bach's remain the benchmark.
