Added by magataganm, 24 Jun 2012 J.S. Bach's six authentic sonatas for violin and keyboard (BWV 1014 - 1019) are unquestionably progressive, not least for their inclusion of fully realized keyboard accompainments (as opposed to continuo parts with figured bass). They represent the real beginnings of the duo sonata as the term is understood today. It may well be that the fourth -- the Sonata for violin and harpsichord in C minor, BWV 1017 -- is stylistically-speaking the most unusual and forward-looking. Opening a four-movement sonata with a Siciliano, as Bach does here, is certainly unusual, if not necessarily groundbreaking; the swaying sicilienne rhythm is given to the violin while the harpsichord ponders arpeggios. This is the Largo from the "Siciliano" (1st Movement) of J. S. Bach's BWV 1017 and although written for Violin and Harpsichord, I arranged this piece for a non-standard Woodwind Trio (2 Oboe's and Bassoon). |
