Dear Friends,

Bach Sinfonia No.11 in G minor – Again, in sharp contrast to the preceding and the following sinfonias, this is a charming, gentle pastoral siciliano in 3/8. Its main theme of 8 bars consists of a stepwise descending octave with a typical dotted rhythm in the steps that runs throughout the piece.
These elemrnts are emphasized in a wide transition passage that leads from the relative major (Bƅ), through A to D minor (16-31) exactly at the middle of the work. A sort of development leads back to the main theme in the tonic (65) with which the work ends. A tense passage (41- 48) exploits the subtle rhythmic syncopation of the transition passage (22-29). One should also note the two “organ points” on A (24-28) and on D (57-63) resolving on the tonic G at the end.
Enjoy your listening Bach from Italy

Thank you carmelo for a beautiful rendition of this piece. I like the way you play it. You really express for us the wonder that is Bach's music.
