Summary of This Score

Excerpt from the Concerto in D minor BWV 596 after Vivaldi, for organ Piano transcription by A. Tharaud

This score offers a Sicilienne with a supple and singing character, drawn from the world of Italian concertos revisited by Bach. In this piano transcription, the writing emphasizes the melodic line and the balance of sound layers, while preserving the spirit of the dance: steady sway, natural breathing, and elegance of ornamentation.

For study, this piece is particularly interesting to refine the quality of legato, Baroque articulation (light detachés, passing notes), as well as touch control to bring out the voices without hardening the sound. The Sicilienne is also well suited to working the pedal with discernment: enough to support the melody without muddying harmonic transparency.

Thanks to its concise format, this piece fits easily into a program: as a contrast after a virtuosic page, as a lyrical interlude, or as an introduction to a set of Baroque pieces. This Sicilienne was recorded by Alexandre Tharaud on the CD "Concertos italiens" (HMC 901871, Harmonia Mundi distribution), an inspiring reference for color, tempi, and phrasing.
