Summary of This Score
This volume "Orgelwerke, Band 8" highlights an essential aspect of Johann Sebastian Bach's language: the transcription and adaptation of concertante models for the organ. It features several concertos conceived as true virtuoso and structural pieces, where the writing emphasizes the dynamics of ritornellos, the dialogue of sound layers, and the clarity of lines, even on a single instrument.
The first part gathers Konzertbearbeitungen after Antonio Vivaldi and Johann Ernst Prinz von Sachsen-Weimar, including notably the Concerto in D minor BWV 596 (after Vivaldi, op. 3/11), the Concerto in A minor BWV 593 (after Vivaldi, op. 3/8), and the Concerto in C major BWV 594 (after the D major concerto "Grosso Mogul" attributed to Vivaldi). Added are the Concerto in G major BWV 592 and the Concerto in C major BWV 595, derived from concertos linked to the Prince of Sachsen-Weimar, perfect for enriching a program with contrasting, brilliant, and structured pieces.
The second part offers Übertragungen fremder Instrumentaltrios : the Trio in C minor BWV 585 (after a trio sonata by Johann Friedrich Fasch), the Trio in G major BWV 586 (after an unknown source), and the Aria in F major BWV 587 (after a trio by François Couperin). This set is ideal for working on voice leading, balance between hands and pedalboard, as well as articulation and phrasing in highly formative three-voice textures.
The Urtext edition, prepared by Karl Heller, offers a clear reading in playing score format and is intended for organists who wish to approach this repertoire with a reliable working score, suitable both for study and performance.
