🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Concerto in d-moll BWV 987

Centered on a dialogue between the solo keyboard and the ensemble, this concerto is driven by rhythmic momentum and the repetition of clear motifs. Its three movements follow a fast–slow–fast design: in the outer movements, the soloist and ensemble alternate as the music moves forward, while the central movement offers a more restrained, songful expression. On the piano, it is important to let the solo line emerge naturally above the accompaniment, avoid making repeated figures sound mechanical, and shape each phrase while maintaining a clear sense of meter. Even articulation in the quick movements, together with attentive awareness of breathing and harmonic changes in the slow movement, brings out the concerto’s tension and sense of dialogue.
