🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Sonata d-moll BWV 964

This sonata is an arrangement of a violin work for keyboard and consists of four movements. In the opening Grave, long-breathed melodies and shifting harmonies should be presented with care, while the following Fugue develops through a close interplay of several voices. The transition through the singing expression of the Andante to the Allegro finale is another highlight. In performance, it is important to clarify the role of each voice and keep the fugue subject from being obscured. Rather than treating ornaments and shorter note values mechanically, an awareness of dialogue between the voices and natural breathing helps convey the work’s overall structure.
