🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Sinfonia no.13 a-moll BWV 799

This compact work distills the appeal of counterpoint into three voices that advance in dialogue with one another. Motifs are passed from one voice to another, while flowing motion, connecting passages, and progress toward cadences shape the larger course through alternating tension and release. Rather than bringing out only the principal line, performers should listen carefully to the inner and bass voices and preserve the independence of each part. The smaller notes should remain even without becoming hurried; attention to the grouping of motifs and the direction of each phrase will help create a performance with clear articulation and natural breathing.
