🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Sinfonia no.10 G-Dur BWV 796

This piece from the Sinfonias condenses a contrapuntal texture for three voices. Each voice responds to the others and carries the music forward, allowing the independent movement of the lines and the unity of the whole to be heard at once. Listening carefully to the exchanges of short motives and the overlaps between voices reveals the momentum within its finely balanced construction. In performance, it is important not to overemphasize a single melody, but to shape each of the three voices as a singing line. With secure fingering and clear voicing, a sense of phrase direction and natural dynamic movement brings out the work’s light, lively flow. Rather than rushing the tempo, performers should attend to the entrances and departures of the voices and the movement toward cadences.
