New Bach video – Sinfonia n 13 in A minor BWV 799 Pianoteq

Dear Friends,

In this video I perform Sinfonia No. 13 3- part in A minor BWV 799 from  by Johann Sebastian Bach. This is a solemn piece in 3/8. The subject is a short and simple theme, a sort of cantus firmus in the upper voice, with a syncopated ending. The other voices join in order and between the entry of the middle one (5, in the dominant) and the lower (13, in the tonic) there is a short episode of descending scales in 1/16s in the two upper voices. The minor second A-G#A in the bass (1) will prove to be of particular importance in the sequel. In the transition to the relative major (21) the two upper voices play the theme in parallel while the lower one brings in a new motif of a broken chord with an ending, which is built on the minor second of the bass
of (1). This gains more importance e.g. in the upper voices of 36-40 to the end.
Enjoy your listening Bach from Italy

Excellent playing. Clear "singing" of the themes. A brilliant three-part musical puzzle. They weave together like a braid.
Great job again carmelo. I always enjoy your playing.

Best wishes,
