🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Sonata for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord No.2 BWV 1028

This sonata unfolds in four movements as a dialogue between viola da gamba and harpsichord. The leisurely, lyrical character of the first movement gives way to the driving motion of the second; the third invites attention to the exchange of melodic lines, while the fourth brings the work to a close with lively momentum. In the keyboard part, it is important to follow the flow of the voices, which move on equal terms with the gamba rather than serving merely as accompaniment. Clear contrasts in the tempo and character of each movement, together with naturally placed ornaments that do not disrupt the pulse, help create a transparent ensemble and a sense of vitality. Performers should imagine the original dialogue and listen closely to the inner voices.
