Dear Friends,

Johann Sebastian Bach No. 7 in E minor BWV 793 displays thematic economy and contrapuntal sophistication somewhat like those we have noticed in No. 4 in D minor. It is hard to think of a more condensed economic use of a simple subject. The main subject consists of two motifs – a rising third (upper voice 1) and a descending diminished fifth (2-3). It is repeated in the dominant (middle voice (/3- 5) and the lower one (7-9), with an extra entry in the upper voice of 5-6). The lower voice presents a sort of an inverse of the subject between its first and second entries. The theme is expressive of a kind of yearning, but with an assertive and insisting character, which the frequent repetition of the subject (10 times in 6 bars) emphasizes. In (7) a development of the subject
begins, with rapid harmonic modulations, reaching dramatic peak on a diminished 7th (37), and a use of rhythmic changes by a succession of 1/12s, all built solely on the materials of the main
motif.

What a splendid performance! You really nailed the balance between Bach's strict structure and the emotional expression of this Sinfonia No. 7.
The phrasing is flawless, giving this piece in E minor the dignified melancholy it deserves.

gorgeous performance Carmelo!  i'm not familiar at all with these pieces by Bach so each one is a treat.  loved it.

Thank you so much, Budo, for your comment.... I'm truly happy that my little videos have opened up the universe of these little Bach gems to you. Likewise, I truly thank you because each of your videos has helped me discover the fantastic world of Jazz, which I had previously only listened to distractedly. Your way of playing on what to me seems like just a bare melody and a harmonic base is truly incredible!!!

Beautiful rendition! Clear voicing.
Dear Carmelo, this time I have to say, this performance is so high-quality, impressive, that further comment is unnecessary - it speaks for itself. Your efforts are so obvious. Excellent work!

Best wishes,

Stig
