- TRIO SONATA #3 in D minor (BWV 527)

My quest on recording all of Bach’s Trio Sonatas for YouTube is half-way there!! In this video you can find the entire Trio Sonata in D minor (BWV 527) by played on my Hauptwerk Organ. Noordbroek, sampled by Sonus Paradisi, is the sample set which often is the one I choose for baroque organ music because it sounds really great and has a real immersive color to it. To the ears of seventeenth and eighteenth-century musicologists the key of D minor represented melancholy, devotion, solemnity and seriousness. The sonata in D minor is a bit different than the other trio sonatas by Bach in that it begins with an andante movement and not a fast vivace. What is also a bit peculiar is that Bach seems to add a lot of different rhythmic figurations to the mix which gives the first movement quite a diverse musical outlook. The second movement is again slow but now in major and with a much more gracious and dance like feel to it. The third movement is rollercoaster. It is relentless in its wild figurations. It swirls and twists and is defintely one of the really technically difficult movements to master! 0:00 Andante 6:56 Adagio e dolce 14:23 Vivace ________________________________________________ Making YouTube videos is rewarding but hard work.
