Summary of This Score

This edition offers an adaptation for alto recorder and harpsichord obbligato of Johann Sebastian Bach's famous sonatas from the BWV 1014 to 1019 cycle, here gathered around BWV numbers 1014, 1016, 1017, and 1019. Originally conceived as "reinvented" trio sonatas (two melodic voices plus bass) thanks to the highly elaborate harpsichord writing, they become, in this transcription, a privileged ground for developing listening and rhythmic precision between the two partners.

The alto recorder finds a repertoire that is both expressive and demanding: singing lines, rapid passages, sequences, anticipated breaths, and the pursuit of a homogeneous sound across the entire range. The harpsichord, far from a mere accompaniment, carries a rich contrapuntal material that highlights baroque structure, harmony, and rhetoric. This collection is thus aimed at duos wishing to work on chamber music with a true stylistic rigor, emphasizing voice clarity, articulation, and sense of discourse.
