🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord No.2 BWV 1015

This sonata unfolds in four movements, with the violin and harpsichord sharing equal responsibility for the musical discourse. A gentle, songful first movement is followed by a lively second movement and a reflective third, leading to a nimble finale. The harpsichord is more than an accompaniment, exchanging independent melodic lines with the violin while supporting the whole texture. In performance, it is important to balance the two instruments in volume and tone and to make the flow of each voice clear. Natural treatment of ornaments, long-breathed phrasing in the gentler movements, and clear articulation with forward momentum in the finale all help convey the work’s appeal.
