New Bach Video – Sinfonia n 14 in B Flat Major BWV 800

Dear Friends,

in this video I'll play Sinfonia No. 14 in B Flat Major BWV 800 by J.S. Bach  is a particularly dense contrapuntal piece. Two motifs of the main subject are of special importance: the descending fourth of Bƅ to F, and the emphasis on the rising third (end of (1). These motifs are repeated and constantly operative in the sinfonia. The play between them is enhanced e.g. in the lower voice of (5) and of (17-21). Here also, as in all the sinfonias, there is an episode before the third entry (lower voice, 4). The order of entries is slightly unusual: middle, upper, lower. The episode is built out of the material of the ending of the first subject (middle voice, the second half 2). At (12) there is a beginning of a dense streto, and although this is not strictly maintained in the continuation, the play of copies between the voices in (14-16) is not less impressive. At (17) something like a new dense streto begins - it is not a strict one even in the upper voices, and the lower one deviates even further and underlines the motif of the descending fourth of the second quarter in.
Enjoy your listening Bach from Italy
