Topic: New bach video Sinfonia n 3 in D Major BWV 789

Dear Friends,

This sinfonia, in sharp contrast to the one before and the one after it, projects a somewhat light and smiling character. This, however, does not detract of its dense contrapuntal and structural construction. The main theme is introduced as a sort of a dialogue of two and a half bars between a rising third and a descending second. It is repeated in the dominant, where the opening motif is developed in a sort of variation in the accompaniment in the left hand that emphasizes an ascending fourth, which proves to be important in the sequel. This exposition
gets an intensive development  that brings to the relative minor  and from there to
III. There we have another development in a form of a streto that leads to IV  and back to D. The opening theme is repeated there in the middle voice , whereas the accompanying theme is in upper voice. The work ends with the texture of the opening phrase
that was in the dominant, but is now in the tonic.
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

Carmelo

Bravo carmelo! Just wonderful. All voices distinctly heard and played very clean. I can really hear the separate voices/melodies. 

Great performance of another Bach masterpiece.Thank you carmelo so much for sharing your great performance. It is a really joyful piece. Love your playing.

And Bach is a genius….a Master with exceptional skill:

If we think of the first three notes of the piece, a separate melodic fragment, Bach uses it 31 times !!!!  - back and force with the three voices. For the entire  piece! 
Wow! I can’t believe he did it….but he did it.

Best wishes,

Stig
