Cello suite No. 1 in G major.....Bach
skip the Prelude.....
the Allemande is good...
The Minuetto1 and 2 are easy and beautiful
the Gigue, at the end is short and sweet.
I believe an intermediate cellist can play these, because they are not to difficult, and pleasing to the ear.

I was playing the Prelude on guitar before yo yo ma made it famous. Now you hear it everywhere. The other movements are better anyway.
You will like it.

Johann Sebastian Bach - Wachet Auf
The melody and pace will make this piece
roll off your bow. ....Not sure if the sheets are available for cello though.
