Topic: New Bach Video Sinfonia n 2 in C minor BWV 788

Dear Friends,

A new stage in the discovery of the fantastic 3-part symphonies of J.S.Bach, today I present the n. 2 in C minor BWV 788.
This one is thematically more multifarious than most other sinfonias: there are two main subjects and a secondary one. This variety is sort of balanced by the wide, measured character of the piece. The main theme is constructed out of two motifs: the one is built on the triad chord and the other on an up and down scale. One can discern three parts: an exposition (up to 19); a development (19-28); a closing section (28 to the end), which combines the main theme and the secondary one in a streto-like texture. The secondary theme is introduced as a trivial connecting theme (5) but acquires an important status in the sequel (inverse in 8, 14-15, 17-18, and straight and inversed in 18). In the second half of the first part (from 9) the lower voice takes the main theme and the middle one – the secondary.
I hope you appreciate this little effort, for which I obviously take no credit. All credit goes to J.S. Bach for composing this little gem.
Enjoy your listening & Greetings from Italy
