Topic: Bach Sinfonia n 8 in F Major BWV 794 Pianoteq 9 HQ

Dear Friends,

I recorded this video to participate in the 2026 contest. It's the first video in which I use Pianoteq 9.
This sinfonia is also built on one theme. The theme is vigorous and joyouswith a definite rhythmic pattern. It appears in the exposition i  n the middle, the upper and the lower voices in that order. It consists of two descending thirds: D-C-Bƅ and C- Bƅ-A. A special
feature of this sinfonia is the bi-tonality in the development – at least in its beginning from the middle of (7). The upper voice starts with the theme in C, and the lower one enters immediately in a streto in F. (b.t.w. one of the four clavier duets is a bi-tonal work and it is also in F.) This streto continues up to (11), and shorter streto moves continue to the end of the development in the relative minor (d, 15). The sinfonia contains many other moves of amusing imitation between the voices (4-5, 19-21), which sometimes move together (17-18).
Enjoy your listening from Italy

Great work, Carmelo!
The handling of the three-voice counterpoint is truly noteworthy in this Sinfonia. I was particularly impressed by the rhythmic clarity you maintain, especially in the faster passages. Your choice of articulation is effective in distinguishing the subject across the different lines. A thoughtful and musically intelligent interpretation.  Well done!
