🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Concerto in D-Dur BWV 972

This concerto consists of three movements. In the outer movements, recurring ensemble gestures alternate with finely detailed solo passages, carrying the music forward. The middle movement provides a more measured flow, with the shaping of the melody and the exchange between voices forming its main points of interest. The work as a whole is compelling for its clear rhythmic character and conversational structure. In performance, it is important to organize the sound by considering the role of each voice, while keeping rapid passages light and clearly articulated. Ornaments should be treated naturally without interrupting the flow, and contrasting the momentum of an imagined ensemble with the expressive character of the middle movement helps bring the work’s overall shape into focus.
