Added by magataganm, 12 Nov 2012 Like Johann Sebastian Bach's better known Concerto in D minor, this work is thought to be a transcription of a lost concerto. While some scholars have attributed the violin composition to Vivaldi or to a minor German composer, the counterpoint and structure of the clavier seem indicative of Bach's idiom. Written during Bach's Cöthen period, the concerto is in three movements; all three are in ritornello form, in which each movement is based upon a single theme restated in various orchestrations at the opening, the closing, and after each exploratory section. This, the slow second (Adagio) movement, in the relative major of A flat, begins with a lengthy and elaborate 21-bar arabesque, lightly accompanied by a sparse bass figure of eighth notes. The frequent and extensive ornamentation in the melody make this movement somewhat rococo in character. Although this piece was originally written for Harpsichord, I created this arrangement for Two (2) Concert (Pedal) Harps. Sheet central : | Concerto pour clavecin No.5 en Fa mineur (20 sheet music) | |
