The clip closes with a host/announcer promoting the full episode on The Piano Pod with Yukimi Song and asking viewers to follow and subscribe.

Chapters

What makes my cello transcription unique is that I actually worked on all 36 movements of all 6 suites, and I approached them really with the least amount of alteration because I wanted to preserve the sound of the register and, I don't know, the universe, if you will, of this very interesting one voice, kind of one line focus that we pianists often don't have. So I really got my inspiration from the Russian transcriber and pianist Alexander Zilotti, who was a student of Liszt's and who's responsible for many, many virtuosic transcriptions, including Bach, in octaves.
