🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Concerto in c-moll BWV 981

Centered on the exchange between the solo keyboard and the ensemble, this concerto unfolds through clear rhythms and contrapuntal movement. It is laid out in three movements in a fast–slow–fast pattern: the outer movements highlight the passing of themes and forward momentum, while the slow movement draws attention to the overlapping voices and the breathing quality of the melodic lines. The soloist should clarify each voice, articulate the smaller figures cleanly, and carefully balance volume and timing with the ensemble. Ornaments should be handled expressively without interrupting the flow, preserving the meter so that the work’s overall tension and dialogue come into focus.
