Dear Friends

Bach Sinfonia No. 4 in D minor BWV 789 although thematic economy is typical of most of the sinfonias, this work displays it in an extreme way: one basic motif, at the beginning of the first theme is the basicmaterial of the whole work. In the exposition the main theme is introduced in the three voices (upper, middle, lower). An episode after the second entry leads to the lower one, which is
intensified (6) and brings the exposition to its end on the relative major (F, 8). In spite of the rich contrapuntal texture, a motif of a rising third (the high notes F – G – A, in 1-3) is maintained throughout, and is concentrated in the accompanying voice right at the beginning. In (8) a development begins, consisting of various modulations of the basic motif. A long chromatic descent in the middle voice (12-13) is repeated in the upper one towards the end (end of 21), and just before it the main theme returns once more in the tonic in the lower voice.
Enjoy your listening & Greetings from Italy

Good tempo, typical Bach, the melancholy, the mysticism, the chromatic scales. Masterfully played - skill, finesse, control. And I like the slow ending. Enjoyed it much.
Thank you carmelo. So nice to have you in this forum.

Best wishes,
