Happy 167th Birthday, Alwin!

In honor of Alwin Schroeder's 167th birthday, here are the Sarabande and Gigue from the Suite in E minor by Julius Klengel, his Leipzig cello colleague . This was Klengel's very first opus (at least that has an opus number and was later published), written around 1874-5, when Schroeder was just starting his self-study of the cello.

My Schroeder/Klengel post details their years together as the two leading cellists of Leipzig, 1880-1891.
