🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Sarabande g-moll BWV 839

While maintaining the measured step of a dance, this sarabande invites the listener to appreciate the long-breathed motion of its melody and the subtle changes in harmony. It unfolds in two corresponding sections, allowing tension and release to emerge delicately from a limited amount of material. In performance, it is important not to hurry the pulse or let it become too heavy, but to preserve a poised, dignified flow. Bring out the right-hand melody with care, support it discreetly with the left hand, and give the ornaments and rests a natural sense of breath to reveal the work’s introspective character.
